‘Why should I have to act for others?’: Nepali musician defies norms to live life on her terms

Highlights
  • An early YouTube sensation in Nepal, Nattu Shah initially hesitated to open up about her sexuality.
  • She says acceptance from family and friends made her feel she was 'unworthy' of advocating for the LGBTQI+ community.
  • Shah's first song went 'viral' through Bluetooth transfers and then YouTube.

A well-known figure in the Nepali music and media industries, Nattu Shah has been living incognito in Australia as a sound engineering student.

Prior to moving down under, she made a name for herself as a singer, songwriter, musician, content creator, and TV host in Nepal over the past decade. 

In recent years she has also become an advocate for the rights of sexual minorities in the Himalayan nation.

A voice for LGBTIQ+ rights

Identifying as a lesbian, Shah says she has heard many stories of suffering from the LGBTIQ+ community.

“This includes people being evicted from their home by their own family, being beaten and even killed,” she tells SBS Nepali.

Shah adds that some families in Nepal are reluctant to accept their children being gay or lesbian for fear of losing their social reputation.

I still have a small issue with Nepal, why do we live for society? It’s our life and our parents are like, 'What will others say?'

"But why should I care? Are they breathing for me? Have I signed a contract with them?”

However, she is thankful for her family, who accepted her for who she is, and for her friends, who play a significant part in her life.

Shah has spoken in past interviews about the support she received from her late friend Nilu Doma Sherpa.

    What was your childhood like? Did you grow up in a musical family?

    I grew up in the company of poets, musicians and music composers. My family members from my mother’s side were into music whereas members from my father’s side were poets and composers, who wrote songs for legends like Narayan Gopal.

    Even though it was only in 2013 when I released my first album ‘Nattu’, I was actively pursuing music way before that.

    When I was 15, I was part of a heavy metal band and we used to perform in concerts and stages in the city. We were pretty good back then.
