Deva Mahal je dcerou legendárního amerického bluesového hudebníka Taj Mahala. Základem její hudby jsou tedy bluesové kořeny, ale jsou protkány gospelem, R´n´B, funkem i jazzem. Je velmi dobře etablovanou zpěvačkou na newyorské scéně a v minulosti spolupracovala s celou řadou významných umělců (Dianne Reeves, Maceo Parker, Bettye Lavette, The Roots nebo Cyndi Lauper). Koncerty Devy Mahal jsou strhující svojí energií, neopakovatelným kouzlem jejího temného hlasu i mistrovským vokálním řemeslem. Repertoár tvoří nádherné vlastní písně a také originální aranže některých cover songů.
