Rachana Dahal’s musical journey is one of talent, perseverance, and breaking the mold in an industry traditionally dominated by men. From a young age, Dahal showed a deep love for singing, quickly picking up melodies and tunes, influenced by her diverse musical tastes. Growing up, she was exposed to a variety of music genres, with a particular fondness for Western rock bands like Guns N’ Roses and Nirvana. Her debut song, ‘Bhumari’ in 2019, marked the beginning of her professional career, but it was only after writing several songs that she decided to release her music publicly.

Throughout her career, Rachana has faced challenges, particularly the gender disparity in the Nepali music industry. Despite this, she remains determined to change the narrative by advocating for more female representation and equality. In addition to her personal experiences, her music tackles societal issues, especially those affecting women, as seen in her powerful track ‘Ma Sakdina’. Her album ‘Janmadaag’ delves into the generational curses and societal pressures faced by women, urging listeners to challenge traditional norms.

Known for her high-energy live performances, Rachana connects deeply with her audience. She views her concerts as therapeutic spaces, where emotions can be released through music. Her family, particularly her brother, has been instrumental in her journey, providing unwavering support and encouragement. Looking ahead, Rachana envisions a future filled with music, creativity, and performances, while continuing to challenge the boundaries of Nepali music.

Collaborating with Nirvi Kalpo, a company that has helped her grow as a performing artist, Rachana continues to expand her reach and connect with new audiences. With her drive, authenticity, and commitment to her craft, she is paving the way for future generations of Nepali musicians to break through barriers and make their mark both locally and internationally.
