Devadas is a devotee and a kirtaniya hailing from Brooklyn, New York. Under the inspiration of his Guru, Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, he has been leading chanting at satsangs, yoga studios, meditation centers and temples all over New York City, the U.S. and India. He has routinely performed in and curated kirtans and sacred music events to benefit his Guru's humanitarian organization Embracing the World, and along with fellow artists Gaura Vani, Shantala, Dave Stringer and John de Kadt, is working with the Call & Response foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the practice of kirtan to under-served populations. Devadas, in 2013, released Brooklyn Mellows, an homage to the late great kirtaniya Aindra Das. He has also released “Bhajans”, an album of traditional chants as well as three albums of original compositions, “Ocean – Songs for Amma”, “Shine Shine On” and “Milton’s Glen”.
