Interview with Dibya Subba (own words). |
-
How did you get involve with music?
-
My father has been a big inspiration. He was a musician and was in
Radio Nepal. He taught me guitar
and vocal
when I was 12, and took class
with Gurudev Kamat for 3yrs.
- What has been your most
discouraging and encouraging moments?
-
When I finished my album not a single company
was ready to take it. It took two years to release
the album. Tables have turned now. Now
when every body likes my songs and appreciate me,
then all the medias is supporting me.
- Now that you have
a new album? How has been the response?
-
It's really rocking, and I getting lots of emails.
-
How are you handling such responses?
-
Well, I am totally new in this field ..sometimes I get confused..but I m trying my best.
-
What's the reason behind the name of your new album?
-
Then name of my album is "PRATHA." Actually
I was planning to put
"Sangeetkar ko jeewan" which is in the track as
well, but my
company suggested me to change the name. "Pratha"
means a culture that we follow.
-
How do you describe your
album? What kind of
music/songs are in the
album?
-
It's a melody album. I have tried to give
best lyrics did compose by myself. All my
songs r not catchy, but if u listen to the album
few times then I think any body can understand
my music. I haven't tried to be different
but have been inspired by senior artists. My
album is a mix of sentimental, soft rock and
hard rock songs. I have also dedicated a
song called "Sangeetkar ko jeewan" to
legends like Gopal Yonzan, and Amar Gurung.
-
How do you try to be different?
-
I
never tried to be different, I have my own
style of singing like every artists.
However, I always say never try to copy other
just be yourself.
-
What has been the difficult part in being an artist?
-
Lots of struggle, sacrifice, and devotion.
I even had to sell my favorite motorbike and a
guitar in order to record my album.
-
Where did you record?
-
At
Opus, Accustica, and Melody. Songs were arranged by Dipesh
Singh and Sunil Bardewa.
-
What do you think of current music situation in
Nepal?
-
Its great..getting larger.
- How do you go
about the songs? Do you compose your songs?
-
Yes, I do, and I have back up band "Nakchyatra
Band" that helps me during concerts.
-
What is your message to new artists?
-
Never give up, keep on fate, and believe in
yourself no matter happens. Respect
seniors, and
be yourself.
-
What's your next project?
-
Soon we r going to make a music video, of "Yaad
haru." I m also in the process of recording a
second album featuring Nepsydaz, Nakchyatra Band
and other good bands.
- What's your view
on media coverage?
-
Media coverage
is very helpful, but it should also be fair and
should support new artists and respect their
talents.
-
any last words or any message to fans?
-
I
don't want to force someone into buying and
listening to my CD/Cassettes. Go with your
own heart. People have watched my video
and may have listened to my songs, and if I am
able to touch their heart then my message is to
show some respect towards Nepali music and
plzzzzzzz' don't pirate CDs. If you can't afford
a CD then you could get a cassette.
