A young singer Rajesh Payal Rai has earned a distinct identity as a singer of Melodious songs.

As 'Payal' (Rai's affectionate name during his childhood) played in the villages and woods in the hills of Buipa, a remote village of Khotan district, he had little idea that one day he would become a prominent singer of the country in such a yong age. As a son of a soldier, he was also incflunced to join the British Armed Forces. However, he had an avid interest and thirst to sing, which he fulfilled by singing folkeres and limited modern songs aired from Radio Nepal.
