Devraj believes that everyone has emotions and feelings in their mind. And expressing of that through words in soulful way is music. He says that most musicians have a very undisciplined mind but bringing that out in a disciplined way is music and that’s the most important responsibility of a musician.

Devraj wants to keep making music that talks about nature, people’s emotion, life and philosophy. He wants to feel everyone’s feelings and touch their heart through his music.
