Singer Arjun Sapkota and lyricist Santosh Sapkota have released a new music video titled ‘Baseu Alakkai’. The song features female singer Shanti Shree Pariyar alongside Arjun Sapkota, Garima Sharma, and Biraj Banskota in the cast. 

The music is composed by Arjun Sapkota, with arrangement, mixing, and mastering handled by HBN Kismat. Recordist Raj Khadka contributes to the production. Additionally, instrumentalists include Madan Regmi on Madal, Hemanta Kanchha Rasaily on Sarangi, and Gopal Dev on Flute. The music video has featured Shibu Pandey and Badal Ghimire as guest artists. 

With the song, Santosh Sapkota has debuted as a songwriter. Santosh, now 26, has also been working as a social media manager for several well-known faces in Nepal and India.

Born in Parbat, Santosh completed his schooling in Rupandehi and moved to Bangalore, India, to receive a diploma in mechanical engineering in 2013. Little did he know that his career would totally change. Completing the diploma in 2015, Santosh worked for two years in Bangalore as a service supervisor in Sri Manjunatha Pipes and returned to Nepal in 2018. In Nepal, he got his hands on a job as a service advisor in one of the companies of Agni Group, namely Agni Motoinc Pvt Ltd. But things took a different route in 2017 when he became an admin of the Facebook fan page for Arujn Sapkota, his cousin who had started his journey as a Nepali folk singer. He was unable to complete his engineering studies due to some family and financial issues. Nevertheless, he had not lost his hope.

Santosh’s journey showcases the unpredictable paths life can take. Despite facing challenges and detours, he found a new passion in songwriting.
