During a concert in the United States in 2007, a member of the audience approached the performer and remarked, “I don’t understand why we should watch your concert. Your music sounds similar to ours, and we don’t understand Nepali. Is it only the language that makes it Nepali music?” The comment prompted reflection among the performers, leading to the realization that their work had yet to make a distinct contribution to the identity of Nepali music. Upon returning to Nepal, they decided to integrate traditional Nepali musical instruments and rhythms into the pop genre, aiming to create a sound that was both contemporary and rooted in local culture.{{Cite web |date=2024-08-08 |title=It's a new beginning for me, says Deepak Bajracharya |url=https://myrepublica.nagariknetwork.com/news/its-a-new-beginning-for-me-says-deepak-bajracharya |access-date=2025-05-27 |website=myrepublica.nagariknetwork.com |language=en}}
