What do you think about Nepali music scene? Any suggestions for its growth.
Not quite original enough, we can still sing in our own accent (Nepali style); we don’t have to sound like a bad Nepali speaking-Whiteman, when you rapping or singing R&B and even some Rockers too. Be Original and don’t be ashamed to play or integrate our Nepali instruments in your music. In the past 16 yrs I have been out of Nepal, the music scene in Nepal has flourished from nothing to bread winning industry for many Nepali artists (in modern music scene), which is so-ooooo very exciting, I can’t wait to go back to Nepal
Awards and Achievements - None yet
Message for fans
Don’t forget your identity as a NEPALI first, where-ever in the world you might be. Encourage Nepali art and artists and keep Nepali language and culture alive, so that the coming generation can enjoy our culture and heritage for hundreds of years to come.
