Early Life and Inspiration Born in Kathmandu as the youngest daughter of two celebrated Nepali singers, Kalyan Rimal and Viju Rimal, Situ grew up in a home surrounded by music. Her childhood was filled with the sounds of classical ragas and practice sessions, nurturing a deep, unspoken love for music. Although she remained quietly passionate about music during her early years, it was only after marriage—and with the immense encouragement from her in-laws—that her musical journey began in earnest. As she once shared in an interview, “I feel there is nothing you can’t do if you have the will power.” This belief has been the guiding force behind her career. Musical Journey Situ debuted in the Nepali music scene in 2000 with the song “Jaba Timro Aakha Hasi Dinchha”, composed by Nhyoo Bajracharya and penned by Kiran Kharel. The same year, she released her first album Smarika, named after her beloved daughter who suffers from a neurological disorder. Situ considers her music as a voice for her daughter, who is unable to speak—a powerful and emotional anchor for her artistry. Over the years, she released four more solo albums: Simrik (2001) Pari (2004) Nirman (2005) Situ (2008) Her fourth album, Nirman, stood out for its distinctive style and deeper substance, showcasing her evolving artistry. Academic Pursuits in Music Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music (Honours) degree in Indian Classical Music at the prestigious Trinity College of Music in London, Situ continues to refine her craft. She has trained under legendary gurus such as Pundit Vishwa Prakash and Mrs. Chandrima Mishra, and earned a diploma in Indian Classical Music from Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, London. Her dedication to learning has led her to attend masterclasses with world-renowned maestros like Pandit Jasraj, Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Begum Parveen Sultana, Sri Ajoy Chakraborty, and others. Performances and Recognition Situ has performed extensively on stage across Nepal, the United States, and the UK. A landmark moment in her career was Situ Night in London (2004), where she became one of the first Nepali female singers to perform solo for over two hours in a foreign country. She has also participated in the Croydon Music Festival and performed alongside esteemed Nepali musicians at various concerts and cultural events. Music Videos and Social Messages With around 10 music videos to her credit, Situ’s visual storytelling has been praised for its emotional depth and social consciousness. The title track from her album Pari, “Meri Pyari Chandrama”, is particularly cherished for its moving message on the need for greater love and care for children with disabilities. Ongoing Contributions and Vision Situ remains actively involved in cultural, social, and fundraising events within the Nepali diaspora community in London. She has supported initiatives such as Navajyoti Kendra and Doremi Music School in Kathmandu through both performances and donations. For Situ, music is not just a profession—it’s a form of worship. As she continues her journey, she aims to deepen her understanding of music and use her voice to inspire, heal, and uplift.
