CHILDWOOD:
I was born on September 27th to Kami Gurung and Mindo Gurung at Chettrapathi, Kathmandu. I'm the eldest in my family. I have a younger brother too. I started my schooling from Sun Rise Bording School and then moved on to Little Angel's School. Basically, I spent most of my childhood days in a hostel and have always been interested in singing and dancing. There used to be numerous dancing and singing competitions in school and I made it a point to take part in as many as possible. However, I was rather reluctant in performing on stage because I was a very shy kid, but I am told that I used to get along very well with fellow students and teachers. I enjoyed hanging out and joking around with my friends. I then joined Peoples Campus but had to discontinue my studies because of my business commitments in Singapore and Malaysia.
ENTRY INTO THE MUSIC FIELD:
I have had huge passion for music ever since I was a kid. I wrote my first song when I was in the 7th grade. I always loved listening to dancing numbers; music by Michael Jackson, Milli Vaneli, Dr Alban, Bob Marley, Lobo and Guns n Roses were my favorites. I took up music seriously after my SLC. My close friends Karma Gurung, Karma Rumba, Karma Dorjee, Rajesh Khadgi and myself formed a band called Marshyang-Q when we were in collage. We used to be quite occupied doing various gigs and performing at numerous programs in different collages. Our first recorded song was called ‘Sukumari’ for a collection album. After it was received rather well, it encouraged us to record an album; which we did. ‘Beautiful Girls’ was released in 1997 under the label of Santana Records. The song ‘Beautiful Girls’ was a huge hit at that time and now I have just released my solo album named "B-52". It has altogether eight songs and I have reworked and included ‘Beautiful Girls’ in it too. Two of my music videos ‘Beautiful Girls’ and ‘Senorita’ are being aired through various TV channels and my third music video of the song ‘Kasam’ will be on air after Tihar.
