Anamnagar, Kathmandu
Anamnagar, Behind Big Mart.For over four decades, Music Nepal Limited has been at the heart of Nepal’s musical, cultural, and technological transformation.
Founded in 1982 as the first music company registered under Nepal’s Industrial Act, we didn’t just witness the evolution of Nepali music—we became the engine that powered it forward.
From our very beginnings, we have set milestones that redefined the standards of Nepal’s music industry:
1984: Introduced Nepal’s first artist royalty system, ensuring creators were compensated fairly and consistently setting a benchmark that changed the industry forever.
1996: Spearheaded FM radio royalty reform, becoming the first company to enforce performance royalties per play, aligning with international standards.
1995: Broke boundaries with international licensing agreements with global giants like Sony Music, HMV, Polygram, Venus, and Magnasound, putting Nepal on the global music map.
Innovation drives everything we do. Our legacy is marked by a series of firsts that have advanced music production, distribution, and accessibility in South Asia:
2002: Established South Asia’s first digital loop dubbing facility, revolutionizing cassette and CD production quality.
2007: Became the first Nepali music company to license RBT (Ring Back Tone) content in partnership with NTC, ushering Nepali music into the mobile era.
2018: Launched MOMO App, Nepal’s homegrown digital music and media streaming platform, promoting local content and artists.
2025: Unveiling Nepal’s most advanced Post-Production & Mastering Studio, alongside the launch of Nepali audiobooks, expanding our creative frontier.
We are more than a business, we are cultural custodians. Our mission extends beyond commercial success to the protection, promotion, and propagation of Nepal’s rich musical heritage.
Since 1997, we have championed copyright awareness, creator protection, and policy advocacy.
Our Music Nepal Academy (est. 2003) nurtures future musicians, composers, and producers through structured training, mentorship, and development programs.
Through our extensive global distribution network, we bring Nepali music from the rural rhythms of folk and indigenous traditions to the urban pulse of pop, hip-hop, and experimental genres—to audiences in over 80 countries.
Our contributions have not gone unnoticed. Music Nepal has received national and international accolades for its unwavering commitment to music, artists, and innovation:
1998: Featured on Japan’s national broadcaster NHK for our regional influence.
1998: Awarded the Goldstar International Award, becoming the first Asian music company to earn the honor.
2022: Made history as the first Nepali music company to have a musical work recognized at the Grammy Awards, setting a new global benchmark for Nepali music.
Music Nepal plays a vital advisory role in shaping the future of the nation’s music ecosystem:
We advise government bodies on cultural legislation, copyright reform, and royalty systems.
Since 2006, we have led as Nepal’s first digital aggregator, ensuring that Nepali songs thrive on OTT platforms, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and beyond.
We are the archivists of Nepal’s sonic history, digitizing rare audio recordings and preserving endangered genres and dialects.
Music is the heartbeat of Nepal, an ever evolving expression of identity, struggle, celebration, and hope. At Music Nepal, we believe:
Every artist deserves recognition and fair compensation.
Technology should empower creativity, not overshadow it.
Preservation and innovation can and must coexist.
We are driven by the vision of a Nepal where music transcends borders, generations, and limitations.
