About
Born in a household with phenomenal performers in her lineage, Devaki Pandit was exposed to a plethora of art.

Devaki Pandit received initial training of music from her mother Smt. Usha Pandit followed by Pt.Vasantrao Kulkarni, Padma Vibhushan Ganasaraswati Kishori Amonkar and Padmashree Late Pt. Jitendra Abhisheki. She Says ''My mother Usha Pandit, my 1st Guru, also a disciple of Pt. Jitendra Abhisheki taught me the basics of music but always tested me time and again; whether I had the perseverance to remain dedicated to an intense, lifelong commitment with Music. This vigilant and self-analytical approach helped me in my pursuit to acquire knowledge from great legendary gurus.''

Music is known to surpass all boundaries, and it was no different with Devaki Pandit. With training from the Agra Gharana, she started singing professionally by twelve years of age when she recorded for a childrens album. With learning the intricacies from her mother and her gurus, Devaki flourished as an accomplished singer. Her keen sensibilities and eagerness to achieve versatility led her to sing various forms such as bhajans, ghazals, abhangas, and songs for films apart from Indian classical music.
She went on to collaborate with renowned artists such as Pt. Hridaynath Mangeshkar, Ustad Raees Khan, Gulzar, Vishal Bharadwaj, Naushad, Jaidev, Jatin - Lalit, Ustad Zakir Hussain in the field of films, television, and live classical performances.
