Prakash Bishwakarma, better known as Prakash Saput (Nepali: प्रकाश सपुत) is a Nepalese singer, composer, model, and actor, known for his contribution towards Nepali folk music. He is known for raising social and political awareness through his music. He gained recognition from the mass with the song Bola Maya in 2018.[1] Since then he has produced numerous hits.[2]

Personal life

Prakash Saput comes from a Dalit family, because of which he experienced some discrimination in his early life. Since his childhood, he has enjoyed singing and dancing in local occasions in his village. When he was a kid, he wanted to be an actor. He also worked as a radio jockey for Dhaulagiri FM, where he hosted a program called Just for You, where his responsibilities involved writing and presenting plays, as well as recording and mixing audio. He eventually relocated to Kathmandu, where he was able to pursue his singing career.

Career

Saput released his debut album in 2011. Gari Khana Deu, his first song, was about social issues. However, his first release was Musu Musu Na Hasa, which was a folk song. Nearly a decade later, he gained recognition of a mass audience with the releases of songs like Dohori Battle in 2018, Bola Maya in 2018,[3] Galbandi Chyatiyo in 2019,[4] Phuteka Chura in 2020,[5] Mero Pani Haina Ra Yo Desh in 2021,[6] Kura Bujhna Parcha (2021), Pir in 2022,[7] [8] and Sakambari in 2023.

Honors

Saput was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador (Gandaki Province) for Visit Nepal 2020 by Nepal Tourism Board.[9]

In 2021, Saput was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) of Nepal Government.[10]
