The piano is known as the “king of the Instrument” because it ranges goes from lowest note to the highest note. The first piano was made in 1698 by Bartolomeo Cristofori (May 4, 1655 – January 27, 1731) in Italy. He is the man who is the creator of this unique instrument who has a doubtful and unknown history behind. But is it difficult enough to play it? Yes, of course to those who skip the practice time? It will need a lot of practice and dedication to bring that perfection in playing the piano.
Nikesh Karki (Born on May 2, 1996) is a Keyboardist from the band named Abhaya And The Steam Injuns (Founded on January 2, 2003) who was inspired by his dad at an early age. His dad himself is a pianist. He joined the band back Abhaya and the Steam Injuns in March 2016. So how did he get in the band? Well, we have the answers in his own words. “Actually I was in Nepal music school(NMC) and I was preparing for my performance for the annual function. And my very good friend Suzzeet Shrestha called me up and said..”Nikesh Abhaya Di posted on her wall that she needs a keyboardist.Ani maile timro kura gardeko chu she gave me her number call gara”tespachi i got nervous. I called her and she told that, ‘let’s meet at our practice room’. Teti bela Women In Concert (WIC) competition ko audition round sakera elimination round ko preparation ma thiyo. She gave me a list of songs and told me to prepare. At first, I played just as a backup band for the girls of WIC. After that Abhaya di purpose me to join her band. Teseri entry garey WIC elimination round was like an audition for me to get into a Band.”
This is all about the passion and the determination of Nikesh Karki. At such a small age, he has got a chance to work with an amazing people. Day by day he has got better and better and can do a lot of thing on a keyboard by himself. Here’s the arrangement by Nikesh in a famous song Cheap Thrills by Sia.
