'''Deepak Devraj Komath''' (born 30 April 1978), better known as '''Deepak Dev''',<ref>[http://deepakdev.com/ Official Website]. Deepakdev.com (2014-03-19). Retrieved on 2015-12-25.</ref><ref>[https://soundcloud.com/deepak-dev Official SoundCloud]. SoundCloud.com. Retrieved on 2015-12-25.</ref> is an Indian composer, best known for his compositions in [[Malayalam cinema]]. He started his career in the film Industry through the movie ''[[Chronic Bachelor]]'' (2003) directed by [[Siddique (director)|Siddique]]. Deepak is also a former member of the [[Kochi]] based Indian rock band [[Motherjane]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://motherjaneofficial.com/|title=Motherjane Official Website|website=motherjaneofficial.com}}</ref>

==Early years==
Deepak Dev is a native of [[Thalassery]] in Kerala, and grew up in [[Dubai]]. He studied at the Indian High School there and learned Indian Carnatic music since childhood. Later his interest switched mainly to the keyboard. While a graduate student in Sacred Heart College, he was the mastermind behind the college rock band which went on to win the intercollege competition 'Talent Time – Woodstock' award every year. He focused on programming music and started working with reputed musicians like [[A.R Rahman]], [[Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy]], [[Sandeep Chowta]], [[Vidyasagar (composer)|Vidyasagar]], [[Anu Malik]], [[M.M. Keeravani]], [[Mani Sharma]], [[M. Jayachandran]] and [[Aadesh Shrivastava]].

He started his career in Malayalam movies with ''[[Chronic Bachelor]]'', directed by [[Siddique (director)|Siddique]] (of [[Siddique-Lal]] fame).

He said in an interview that he had almost given up on his musical career, soon after completing his graduation from Sacred Heart's College, Kochi, "as nothing exciting was happening in my career." However, every time he tried to sell his keyboard, it always came back to him, "as any guy who bought it from me with a mere small advance could never pile up the money that they had promised me for that keyboard and ended up giving it back to me. And soon after the third time it happened, the Siddique-Lal duo called me to join their group for their shows in the United States. They wanted me to render some music to fill the time in-between programs. As I got a chance to visit America, my intention was to get some job in the States like marketing, sales or anything other than music. During that time Mr.Siddique heard my composition and told me that 'I have good talent in music and I must take music as my career' Eventually, it was those words gave me courage to take music as my career. "After that I came back to India I shifted base from Kerala to Chennai, that was in 1999. After few years I met Siddique and he asked me to compose music for his movie 'Chronic Bachelor', my first film".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.metromatinee.com/artist/Deepak%20Dev-635|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130624013534/http://www.metromatinee.com/artist/Deepak%20Dev-635|url-status=dead|title=Deepak Dev Profile|archivedate=24 June 2013}}</ref>
