VTEN

Samir Ghising, better known by his stage name VTEN, has emerged as a seismic force in the Nepali music scene, redefining the boundaries of the local Hip-Hop and Trap landscape. Hailing from Kathmandu, VTEN is celebrated for his signature fusion of traditional Nepali motifs with hard-hitting, contemporary urban beats. His discography serves as a bold commentary on the realities of modern life in Nepal, often tackling raw, unfiltered themes such as systemic corruption, socio-economic inequality, and the struggles of the younger generation. By weaving his personal hardships into his rhythmic flow, he has cultivated a deeply loyal fanbase that views him as a voice for the voiceless. VTEN’s ascent to stardom is marked by a string of breakout hits, including fan-favorites like "Yestai Ta Ho Ni Bro," "Laure Ko Fashion," and the infectious "Simsime Paani." His creative evolution is evident in his acclaimed 2020 album *SUPERSTAR* and consistent releases like the 2023 tracks "TEII" and "2.0 Chhadke." Throughout his career, he has strategically collaborated with prominent figures in the industry, such as Lil Buddha on the high-energy "La La La La (Remix)," Ruthless on the introspective "Superstar," and Raila Roka on the culturally significant "Nepali Ho." Beyond his chart-topping success, the 27-year-old artist has become an emblem of creative defiance. Despite navigating controversy and challenges regarding his lyrical expression, VTEN remains steadfast in his mission to elevate the Nepali music industry. By continuously pushing the limits of the Trap genre while staying rooted in his cultural identity, VTEN has firmly established himself as a visionary artist and an enduring icon for youth across Nepal and the diaspora.
