Pranab Kishore Patnaik , one of the rare gems of oriya music industry who reigned
over for 5 decades has uniqueness in his voice, which lies in the fluidity of his songs,
which are not only delightful but an unrestrained creation which brings up a profusion of melodious
sensitivity and tones with the jugglery of meaningful rhythm. The variation in his vocal rendering are
quite wide and his unique style is incomparable. His GAYAKI is mounted on such a platform, which makes
the listener realize the finest elements of the supreme creation. He has lent voice to various
segments of music like Odishi, Folk, Devotional & Bhajans, Semi Classical, Traditional, Hindi Geet and Ghazal etc.

Orissa Legislative Assembly ). Under Guru Kunal Adinarayan's training he stepped formally into music industry. In 1958 he
started his music career as a playback singer for the first time in film "Maa".
