A young singer Rajesh Payal Rai has earned a distinct
identity as a singer of Melodious songs.
As 'Payal' (Rai's affectionate name during his
childhood) played in the villages and woods in the hills
of Buipa, a remote village of Khotan district, he had
little idea that one day he would become a prominent
singer of the country in such a yong age. As a son of a
soldier, he was also incflunced to join the British
Armed Forces. However, he had an avid interest and
thirst to sing, which he fulfilled by singing folkeres
and limited modern songs aired from Radio Nepal, in his
villages.
Rai: Yong achiever
Probably, destined to be a singer, he was praised for
his melodious voice and encouraged to contine singing.
He took a voice test from the Radio Nepal at the tender
age of 13. To his surprise, he passed the voice test a
his very first attempt and when he was just studying
grade eight.
This event added confidence to Rai and how he would
think to taking up music as a profession. He recorded 'Failiyo
Maya Dubo Sari' in 1992, after he came to Kathmandu on
completion of his high school. The instant popularity it
gained among the Nepalese audience raised him to new
heights, He never had to look back ever since.
Instantly, he was requested to record new songs and
perform live on stage programs. Offers of foreign trips
for musical programs started flooding him. |
