Prakash Saput comes from a Dalit family. Since his childhood, he has enjoyed singing and dancing in local occasions in his village. When he was a kid, he wanted to be an actor. He also worked as a radio jockey for Dhaulagiri FM, where he hosted a program called Just for You, where his responsibilities involved writing and presenting plays, as well as recording and mixing audio. He eventually relocated to Kathmandu, where he was able to pursue his singing career.[1]
