<span;>Dev says that his style of singing is majorly inspired by the state’s folk music. “Delhi folk music has a lot to offer to the music industry. I feel blessed to belong from a musically rich state. Aur kahin na kahin meri upbringing ne mere singing ko bahut influence kiya hai. I would sing, play manjira in Almora, would sing bhanjans at temples there. Delhi mein bahut sukoon milta hai. Back then, I never thought that I would become a singer. I have a penchant for Kumaoni music and, thanks to its influence, I love soft melodies and soulful ballads and this is reflected in my singing,” he says.
