Starting with classical music, Dipanjali later shifted to devotional music, including the Borgeet form of music. She believes in the healing power of music and emphasises the importance of attention, focus, and determination in today's competitive world.

Dipanjali Deka is a musician and a sufi music researcher in New Delhi. She is also associated with the Archives and Research Center for Ethnomusicology (ARCE) in Gurugram. She also performs for Akashwani.

Initially, she learned classical music since it is the basis of all vocal  music. After that, her mother encouraged her to study more than just classical music. She inspired her to learn Assamese Borgeet. It was then that she began to gravitate toward religious music. Later, she opted for Borgeet as her PHD topic by adding new poets, such as Kabir and Lal Ded, and selected the music style for her M.Phil.

Dipanjali states that her life's work is split between two types of learning: her doctoral research, which is focused on Bhakti Sufi music, and the archive where she works. ARCE is a part of The American Institute of Indian Studies. It consists of two departments: Ethnomusicology and Archaeology. She works on a variety of projects, but at the moment she is focusing on the Katha Gatha traditions of Western Rajasthan, which are essentially musical storytelling.

Reflecting on her early years, Dipanjali shares that Guwahati is where she was born and raised. When she was young, she wanted to become a dancer, but her mother let her enrol in music classes instead. Although she wasn't interested in it at first, music eventually helped her recover and came to be identified with her identity. After graduating from NIT Jaipur with a degree in Computer Engineering, she relocated to Bhuvneshwar to work for Infosys for two years. She thereafter made the decision to enrol at the New Delhi-based School of Arts and Aesthetics, where she completed her MA, M.Phil, and PhD.

Dipanjali looks up to her mother as a role model and respects the way she balances her artistic life with home duties. She thinks that because people are so focused on making money in today's environment, they do not have time for creativity. She observed how her mother handled the household chores and simultaneously carved room to support creativity at the same time. Dipanjali also teaches music online to girls from an NGO, and she finds a lot of inspiration and drive in these young girls.

Dipanjali feels that a pearl of spiritual insight may be found in the ‘Dohas’ of Kabir. She finds great motivation and inspiration in Kabir's words, "Dheere-dheere re mana, Dheere se sab hove."

When asked about the challenges she had to face, Dipanjali replies that although her family was there to support and encourage her, she still had internal issues. She struggled to find the guts to tell her family that she wanted to pursue a career in music and that she felt that engineering did not fulfil her spirit. She claims that changing careers and leaving a well-paying job for music was quite challenging. Even now, her parents are still unable to completely understand this, but she believes that this was the finest choice she has ever made.

In terms of her personal challenges, she had a terrible loss when her spouse, who had inspired her to pursue music further, died six months after they were married.

Regarding her accomplishments, she says that she was able to experience the beauty of creativity with the use of music which she considers her best achievement. She views music as a therapeutic practice rather than a career.

She laments that people have forgotten concentration, focus, and determination in today's environment of free access. According to her, ‘Riyaz’ is crucial in life on a daily basis and you need to possess a lot of patience in the music industry.

According to Dipanjali, voice is an incredibly potent instrument that is expanding on the universe's horizon. Therefore, whatever we do, we should consider unifying through every means possible rather than growing apart.
