Dev Negi was born on 25 June 1989 in Dwarahat, Uttarakhand, India. He grew up in the Kumaoni region of Uttarakhand and developed an interest in music during his childhood. He was influenced by legendary singers such as Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar.
Negi completed his education at Apeejay College of Fine Arts, Jalandhar, and later moved toward a professional career in singing. Before establishing himself in Bollywood, he performed in local cultural programmes and worked on songs for television projects.
His Bollywood playback career gained recognition with “Hai Yehi Zindagi” from Kick (2014). He subsequently received opportunities to sing for several Hindi films and became increasingly recognised for his lively and youthful vocal style.
Dev Negi's major breakthrough came with songs such as “Badri Ki Dulhania” from Badrinath Ki Dulhania, “Sweetheart” from Kedarnath, “Sweety Tera Drama” from Bareilly Ki Barfi and “Chalti Hai Kya 9 Se 12” from Judwaa 2. These songs established him as a prominent voice in modern Bollywood music.
He has also worked with leading composers and singers, including Pritam, Tanishk Bagchi, Vishal-Shekhar, Neha Kakkar, Arijit Singh, Nakash Aziz and others. His international collaboration “BIBA,” created with Marshmello and Pritam and performed with Shirley Setia and Pradeep Sran, further expanded his reach.
Other notable recordings in his career include “Rangtaari,” “Naach Meri Jaan,” “Teri Bhabhi,” “Kusu Kusu,” “Deedar De,” “Heart Throb” and “Zohra Jabeen.” His music continues to be released, with Apple Music listing new releases in 2026, including “Tera Mera Nata Title Track” and “Aankhon Se Tune 2.0.”
