I prefer fresh juice and watermelon,\u201d says Yabesh Thapa.<\/span><br style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px;\" \/><span style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0\u2018Lakhau Hajarau\u2019 released in 2020 was Yabesh\u2019s first single, a song that became an instant hit. The acoustic beats of the song are a stark contrast to his recent upbeat release \u2018Dui Diney Jindagi\u2019. \u201cThe idea is not to evolve as an individual,\u201d he says, \u201cbut as a collective. When I evolve, I want my audience to evolve with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px;\" \/><span style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Talking more about his music, Yabesh says, \u201cI am always experimenting and trying to find new ways to reach my audience. Due to this, the style of every song varies. I do not expect everyone to like what I do, because people do not think the same. There is a new wave of music forming in Nepal, which is slowly mixing acoustics with other genres.\u201d<\/span><br style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px;\" \/><span style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Yabesh has his own ideas about how to handle criticism: \u201cLearn not to expect.\u201d He says that whenever he releases a song, he does not think about whether the song will be a hit or not. He just puts it out there, and leaves it to fate. I simply take the criticisms constructively. My work is trial and error. I do not just want the highs, I want the lows too. My career should be a curve because I think that is more healthy,\u201d reveals the singer.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5c9d88 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c5c9d88\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e063bab elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e063bab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" width=\"662\" height=\"883\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 662 883'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"lazyload attachment-large size-large wp-image-5895\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1-561x748.jpg 561w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1-265x353.jpg 265w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1-531x708.jpg 531w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1-364x485.jpg 364w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1-728x971.jpg 728w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1-608x811.jpg 608w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1-758x1011.jpg 758w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1-36x48.jpg 36w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1-72x96.jpg 72w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1-313x417.jpg 313w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/A160D251-2E63-463C-96F6-9B9B0A93AB21-copy-1.jpg 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7d5e53 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c7d5e53\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4b613e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d4b613e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Everyone gets fed up with monotony after a while, and that is not what Yabesh wants.

Once you are famous your life is in the public eye. But Yabesh thinks otherwise. He believes he\u2019s a private person.

He does want to have a higher level of education in music but does not think that now is the right time. He believes that to do so, he has to put his music on hold, which he does not want to do right now. He does plan to take online courses for music production in the near future.<br \/>\u00a0Talking about taking the music to the next level, Yabesh thinks that the next big step for Nepali musicians is to take a look at the Indian market. He wants to learn how they produce, how they record, and the techniques they use to put out their music.

The idea of releasing albums is still not that popular in Nepal, as artists here prefer singles over albums. And I hope that the songs in this album will be liked by the listeners,\u201d says Thapa.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cd6401 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6cd6401\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3995aa5 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3995aa5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" width=\"626\" height=\"1024\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 626 1024'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3089-copy-626x1024.jpg\" class=\"lazyload attachment-large size-large wp-image-5903\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3089-copy-626x1024.jpg 626w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3089-copy-184x300.jpg 184w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3089-copy-561x917.jpg 561w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3089-copy-265x433.jpg 265w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3089-copy-531x868.jpg 531w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3089-copy-364x595.jpg 364w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3089-copy-728x1190.jpg 728w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3089-copy-608x994.jpg 608w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3089-copy-29x48.jpg 29w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3089-copy-59x96.jpg 59w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3089-copy-313x512.jpg 313w, https:\/\/goingtrek.com\/living\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_3089-copy.jpg 734w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-864ce16 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"864ce16\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-987f536 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"987f536\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong style=\"border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial;\">What genre is your music?<\/strong><br \/>My music may be pop\/aucostic for now, but I do try to experiment with many different genres such as Afro and future beats.

He makes it look so simple and does it seamlessly. The best part about his songwriting is that the words are not heavy, but they hit you very hard, straight to your heart.<br \/>\u00a0The music that he put out was very different than what was out there. I first started listening to him in 2017, and three years later I got enough motivation to drop my first single. But preferences change over time and I may be shifting towards other inspirations, but the impact that he had on my life is something I am never going to forget.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; color: #484848; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15.5px; background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong style=\"border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial;\">International artist that you would want to work with?<\/strong><br \/>Jeremy Zucker is an American musician that I discovered in 2017.
