Devika is an Indianpop singer and songwriter.^[1]

If you are searching for some music,there is this album 'sufiaana' (its a collection of filmy and non filmy sufi songs. I got the full album from www.RadioRocking.com) and i will add some of my favourites 1.mere yaar milaade( saathiya) 2.chum chum( striker) 3.noor noor(minaxy) 4.wedding qawwaly(bombay dreams) 5.ending song ( usthad hotel). “Sufiaana” is a gorgeous collection, a treasure. Vocals are ecstatic, instrumentation beautiful. The percussion alone is trance-inducing. Songs are mostly in Hindi, judging by the few words I know (heart, love, fragrance, joy, life — like that). Several songs are from Shah Rukh Khan films, which I didn’t know were Sufi inspired. Sufiaana - Sufi Love Vol 1 Compilation. About this album.

Early life and education[edit]

Devika started vocal music training in New Delhi, India when she was eight years old. She continued her training and advanced to Ragas and Hindustani Classical Music, learning under the supervision of several great teachers. The classical training provided her a great base for expansion to other popular styles. She performed frequently through high school (Modern School, New Delhi), using both classical and popular styles to capture her audience.

She moved to the United States for her undergraduate study in Computer Science at Georgetown University. It was during these years that she experimented with a fusion of Indian classical music and western compositions and teamed up with Holmes Ives and performed vocals for the album titled Satyriasis. After graduation she resumed her formal training in Hindustani Classical Music.^{[citation needed]}
