I was born and raised in Kathmandu, Nepal.
I arrived in the United States in 2002 in search of higher education, and higher education I received. In 2006 with a degree in economics I decided to devote my life and life savings to the performance and recording of Nepalese folk music as it make sense to me.
I hope it makes sense to you too.
Enjoy.
“Diwas does not try to hide the influence of his favorite musicians, alt rock band Radiohead and progressive rock superstars Tool along with Nepali legend Gopal Yonzon and folk rock heroes Nepathya in his music. Yet, Diwas’ warm, folksy voice and neat guitar work allow him to own this offering completely and to re-introduce an important body of work to a generation that for the most part has ignored this genre of Nepali music.”
