 SUKMIT GURUNG
Sukmit Gurung is a Famous Nepali Modern Classical, Nepali Pop & Nepali
Movies playback singer. When she recorded her first solo 'O Mero Priyatam ',
Sukmit Gurung was a young artiste from Sikkim looking to make it big in the
Nepali music industry. The song was a big hit, her debut album "Kahin ta Birsanu
Timile" that carried it creating a niche for young female artistes.
Born in Sikkim 47 years ago, Sukmit first stage performance was at her school
when she was only 14. "My school's environment was very musical, she recalls.
There were music classes and concerts and I tried to be a part of them all. Born
into a Christian family, I also got the opportunity to sing in choirs at local
churches, which further enhanced my abilities."
It was in 1974 that Sukmit came to Kathmandu as a tourist accompanying her
sister. Sukmit's vocal abilities soon came to the notice of senior musicians of the
time including the legendary Prakash Gurung. Her seniors and well-wishers
persuaded her to participate in a music contest organised by the Radio Nepal �
the only radio service in Nepal at the time. Call it luck or her immense talent, she
outscored everyone in the competition to take the title, which proved to be a
stepping stone to her musical career.

Sikkim, Remanti Rai (30) has completed her Bachelors in Arts
and then completed her Post Graduation in History under
University of North Bengal. Despite the fact she has no formal
training in music, one cannot deny the fact that she has been
successful in winning many hearts by her vocal quality and
knowledge about music. Since the early age of 6, she started
delving into music and exploring different facets of music.
Initially, she was much influenced by the bhajans when she
attended Bal Bikash of Sri Satya Sai Organisation during her
early childhood. Gradually, she found music to be her prior
passion and then she started creating a niche and an identity in
the tiny Himalayan state of Sikkim. 
Today Remanti Rai stands as a common household name in
Sikkim thus making her establish a music academy in her
name as ‘Remanti Sangeet Academy’.

 PAWAN RAI

Pawan Rai is the name of a man of only 21 years of age,

who built his own life, from a broke guy who survived
with only a mere sum of amount a day to a man who is
now successful and reaping the fruits of his labor.
No wonder he believes that “Luck is a factor in success
but it is not everything, you need to change your luck by
working hard and that’s the ultimate success mantra.”

For a man who lived as a paying guest in a village

named Guptipara, the journey to luxury was a difficult
road. His only fuel was his ambition, the thought that he
needs to prove to the world that the sky is his limit.
