Ep: 488 | What It Takes to Be a Musician in Nepal | Bluesss on Challenges & Growth | Sushant Pradhan Podcast

What It Takes to Be a Musician in Nepal. In this episode, Bluesss (Suraj Shahi) — one of Nepal’s most creative and forward-thinking singer-songwriters — opens up about his latest album “Maya Ko Bhaasaa (Love Language)”, his influences growing up, and what it truly means to build a music career in Nepal. Bluesss shares his unique creative process, how he balances intuition and audience demand, and why he chooses to stay true to his own niche rather than chasing trends. The conversation dives deep into the state of Nepal’s pop culture industry, the role of technology and autotune, and practical advice for beginners in music production — from the right software to the mindset required to grow. He also talks about creative blocks, collaborations, and the goal of becoming a full-time performing artist. From Durgesh Thapa’s influence on the scene to the broader music business landscape in Nepal, Bluesss offers an honest and inspiring look into the artist’s life.
