Divya has been singing since the age of eight, and even as a child he appeared in quite a few stage shows. He considered other professions, but his mother urged him to pursue a career as a singer. He appeared in many shows while in Kalyanji Anandji's troupe, and more recently has worked with Sunidhi Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal, and Javed Ali—all from the Kalyanji Anandji school of music

His first Bollywood break was with Gujraj Singh on the film Tutiya Dil.
