Subash Khatri (also spelled Subash Khattri) is a popular, rising Nepalese folk singer and songwriter originally hailing from Baglung, Nepal. He is primarily known for his contribution to the Lok Dohori (traditional duet folk) and contemporary folk-pop genres. Khatri has established a strong digital footprint through his official Subash Khattri YouTube Channel, which serves as a major platform for his artistic releases and caters to tens of thousands of subscribers. Even while living and performing abroad in places like Sydney, Australia, he continues to actively connect with the global Nepali diaspora through his music.
He is most celebrated for his massive viral hit single "Sirma Sirbandi" (also known as Chhadke Galbandi), a collaboration with singer Samikshya Adhikari and lyricist Sujit Khatri that garnered over 7.7 million views on YouTube within a short period of time. His music often captures the poignant stories of rural Nepali life, family separation, and romantic longing, as highlighted in other popular tracks like "Chilma Chha" (featuring Shantisree Pariyar), "Saino Le", and the emotionally heavy narrative song "Jhola Boki Jau Aama Nabhane".
