Oasis Thapa: A quick progress with a promise of perseverance in the Nepal music industry

Oasis Thapa was nearing the end of his high school when he, like most teenagers in Nepal, went through a breakup. He was low and emotional. He wanted to pour it out somewhere, but he did not know where and how. The only way he knew how to share his emotion was through songwriting and that is exactly what he did.

He wrote a song, An Apology to My Ex, recorded it and put it up on YouTube and Facebook, in 2017. Deep down, he believed that the song would be the making of him as it was one of the best things he had ever written and composed. But, it did not blow up. He did get positive feedback, but the video only got a few hundred views and one comment with two middle fingers.
