Samir Shrestha: Quick fame inspires the 19-year-old to enrich Nepali music with his love songs

A year ago, Samir Shrestha was sitting in his room and recording cover songs on his mobile phone. Fast forward 12 months, the 19-year-old played his originals at a packed show with people singing along with him. It is safe to say that singing, in the past year, has turned his life on its head.

“It’s surreal because I had never dreamt that things would happen this fast. But, it feels great to have received the love I have from everyone,” says Shrestha.
