Happy New Year 2024! ✨ I'm so happy to announce that my new Nepali album is now officially cooking in the studio 🍳! A special thank you to my mother, an accomplished and talented writer/singer Susan Maskey for co-penning and collaborating on several of the songs on the album with me. #aamachhori

My gratitude to the studio production team Niraj Tamang and Binaya Man Amatya for their incredible input and synergy on the album. My appreciation also goes out to the collaborators and featured musicians, Kobid Bazra, Ashesh Rai, Bhushan Man Amatya, Sahil Uprety and Eileen O'Neall, for their beautiful musical contributions to the songs.

Every single instrument is being delicately recorded, mixed, and mastered for your ears as I type this. This album feels so intimate and vulnerable. It is sounding exactly how I want it to sound, which is usually so rare for me. #perfectionist

I sense it in my soul that it is going to be a very special release for me, one that I cannot wait to share with you. #saregamapathealbum #swansong #afterthisreleaseimightretire

Also, a special thank you to everyone listening to the “songs that made me” reels and an extended gratitude to those taking the time to read my extra long essay captions🤓😅 that capture my precious child/teenhood memories, connections, experiences, and learnings. It has been an honour to connect on a deeper level with you 🙏.
