To know more about Awaaz, I took a short interview of Anmol Shreshta, President of DWIT Music Club. Here is what he had to say:

Q. How can Nepali music artists exploit and take the benefit from Awaaz?

A. In today’s world, it’s all about online exposure and Awaaz gives music artists that particular platform to show their talent. Also, people will get to discover unknown and new artists. Ultimately, it helps local artists to grow and get known.

Q. What are your expectations from Awaaz?

A. Through Awaaz, we want talented local artists to get the exposure, so that, they can grow further and be successful through music. I guess this competition is first of its kind, and we want to raise it so huge that it becomes one of the most awaited musical event in Nepal. Well, that’s our dream.

Q. Why did you choose an online platform for this competition? Any specific reason?

A. Online platform helps us to reach out to more people and it’s an affordable way for us to organize an event of this kind. Also, we wanted to promote Nepali startups such as Lishn.com which is trying to help Nepali music artists. So, we thought online platform would be really good to get the attention we wanted.
