True Story Behind "Baby" & "Kumari" Ft. @UjanShakya | The Otherside Podcast

In this episode of The Otherside Podcast, we sit down with the multi-talented Ujan Shakya — the creative mind behind recent viral hits like Baby and Kumari, whose soulful sound and smooth storytelling have made him one of the most exciting young artists in Nepal’s music scene. In a fun, free-flowing, and heartfelt conversation, Ujan opens up about the creative process behind his biggest songs — from how Baby and Kumari came to life, to his journey of experimenting with new sounds and even choosing to sing in Newari. He dives deep into the basics of music production, what creativity means to him, and how being a “nerdy, curious kid” shaped the artist he is today. But it’s not all serious talk — with his signature humor and charm, Ujan also shares hilarious stories from the studio (including the time “Chris Brown said don’t let him dance” 😂), and the moments that remind him to stay grounded through it all. Blending honesty, humor, and heart, this episode captures the real Ujan Shakya — the thinker, the creator, and the down-to-earth dreamer redefining Nepali R&B one song at a time. --- Follow Ujan on Instagram: Instagram: ujanshakya --- Title Sponsor: Ponds Nepal: Instagram: pondsnepal --- Furniture/Gift Partner: MS Studio: Instagram: ms_studio.np --- Supported By: Coastline Education and Visa Services: Instagram: coastline.edu.np --- Gift By: Gamala Ghar: Instagram: gamala.gharnp --- Follow us on: Instagram: /yelloworkspodcasts Facebook: /yelloworkspodcasts --- Thumbnail by: Instagram: biphson_nepali --- Chapters: 00:00 - Highlights 01:39 - Start 02:10 - Language diffrence in Bhaktapur, Lalitpur and kathmandu 03:21 - How Ujan makes songs? 07:24 - Story of rajamati 10:35 - Baby song kasko lagi banako? 12:29 - When did Ujan started dancing? 13:18 - Childhood of Ujan Shakya 16:57 - Miscommunication with parents 18:20 - How was Ujan as child? 20:54 - Pros and cons of joint family 25:20 - Ujan's music journey and his music production journey 28:54 - Basic things to remember while starting music production 33:15 - How does Ujan chooses his music? 37:35 - Which was your one of the best project? 39:54 - Talks about "KUMARI" song 48:47 - Newari ma geet banauchu vanera kasari socheu? 52:56 - Talks about "BABY" song 56:12 - How emotional is Ujan 1:01:44 - Do you believe in fortune luck and consistency is important. 1:06:53 - Ujan's Australia Tour 1:08:55 - Game session 1:15:35 - Gift session 1:19:12 - End --- YelloWorksTV | http://yelloworksproduction.com/ --- Unauthorized downloading and duplicating on YouTube, Facebook, or any other media platform is strictly prohibited and may lead to a claim/strike by YouTube, Facebook, or any other media platform.
