When you starting singing?

Truthfully Speaking, I started singing when i was 7 yrs old,. My Maternal Uncle used to listen to Kishore Kumar at that time, and he used to sing his songs all the time, so I just started doing the same, then i slowly started listening to nepali music. I wasn't really interested or say "didn't know" anything about the nepali music scene at that time. Nepathya & The Skyband were the first nepalese cassettes i ever bought in my life and those were the classics at that time.

How do you promote yourself & shows?

I have lots of friends, on the internet, out here in canada, in nepal, so what i usually do is..whenever i make something or compose something new, i send it to them, to get feedback, and they end up sending their friends, and their friends.. so on..sometimes i also email different nepalese website to ask if they cud do anything to help. Like say..if i was in nepal, it would be completely different, performing in different cities, interviews and all..but thats not possible cuz i live so far from nepal, and that cud be a negative point for me..

First i go on stage...and introduce myself a lil bit then the crowd starts going crazy after the music starts..I pick my music..according to the crowd...if its a good crowd..i' start off with some dance numbers.....they yell my name sooo much....."lazyboiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii", "heyyyyyyyyyy lazyyyyyy"..and sometimes they also call me "nepali fat joeeeeeeeeee".

I think it helps to promote the new upcoming artists..but its a great loss for the music company's so i dont know what to say...being an artist i say it is really a good way of promoting urself. 

What's your outlook on the record industry today?

Record industry's? hmm? i went to one of the music company in nepal....if they were interested in my album, i am not going to mention the name..but when i approached them and showed them my songs..they said "hyea..yesto geet haru aajkal chaldaina...baru ahile lai yo album haina..remix album euta gara..ani yo album pachi nikalu la.." i was so dissappointed after hearing that..and i just walked out of there. after putting all the hard work..and a lot of time..in my album "nepali maya" who are they to judge..what i need to release and what i don't. i think its really too much of these remixes..trend..and we shud start going back to composing original songs..rather than releasing what someone else has already composed. I personally think the music scene is not gonna progress if it is going to be like this forever.

What's your claim to fame?

I do it for the love of  music. ever since when i was 7 yrs old..i started singing..and it has been my passion rather than just an hobby..so i planned to take it further..
