Samir Shrestha

Samir Shrestha is a prominent Nepali singer, songwriter, and guitarist who has emerged as a leading voice in the modern indie-pop and alternative rock scene. Born on August 31, 2002, in Kathmandu, Nepal, he began his musical journey with humble beginnings, often recording cover songs on his smartphone using earbuds due to a lack of professional studio access. Influenced by artists like Bipul Chettri and Sajjan Raj Vaidya, Shrestha spent years refining his vocal strength and songwriting skills, eventually transitioning from a bedroom musician to a national sensation. He officially entered the industry in 2021 with his debut single, "Chaar Dewar," which was written during a long-distance relationship and initially shared as a rough video that quickly went viral.

His career reached new heights in 2022 and 2023 with a string of hits that resonated deeply with the Nepali youth. Songs such as "Thamana Haat," "Timi Bhayera," and "Mero Mana Ma" established him as a master of romantic ballads, known for his soft, soulful voice and emotionally resonant lyrics. His mainstream success was further cemented by the 2023 collaboration with Swoopna Suman titled "Je Chhau Timi," which became a major sensation on YouTube and TikTok. Managed by Garage Entertainment, Shrestha continues to be a prolific creator, releasing popular tracks like "Timiley," "Hera Na," and his 2025 releases such as "Timi Bhayea Kafi" and "Timro Muskan." His music is celebrated for blending traditional Nepali sensibilities with contemporary pop elements, creating a bridge between generations of listeners.
