She is credited with redefining and revolutionising the singing tradition in the early 1900s, singing patriotic songs and inspiring other singers to follow suit. She was trained by Thakur Prasad Mishra, and the famous Sarangi player Pandit Shambunath Mishra, and she mastered tappa gayaki under the teaching of the legendary Chote Ramdas Ji of Banaras."
