First man in Dharwad, a musician (4)
I believe the answer is:
adam
'first man' is the definition.
(first man in the Bible)
'in dharwad a musician' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ADAM' is hidden within 'dharwad a musician'.
(Other definitions for adam that I've seen before include "One of our common ancestors?" , "According to the Bible, progenitor of the human race" , "father of us all?" , "Father of man" , "Faith, for example" .)
