Jigmee Wangchuk Lepcha is known for covers, but passion for originals drives him forward

The mood at Shisha Lounge and Bar on a Friday is different. As soon as the opening band concludes its show and Air Space gets on stage, there is a roar. The roar, for the most part, is for the band’s lead singer and frontman, Jigmee Wangchuk Lepcha. Embracing the applause, he gets on stage and sings for three hours during which he takes the audience on a trip down memory lane.

“It feels great when you get such great reactions from the crowd,” says Lapcha. “That is what we as performers live for.”
