About
Exiled Prophet was born and raised in Kathmandu, Nepal and later came to the United States during his teenage years. Born to two Tibetan parents, he was educated from a young age about the political situation in Tibet and the cultural traditions that helped shape his identity. He began rapping at the age of 15 while attending high school in New York City and continued to work on collaborations with artists such as Bhu Nyima (NY), Dikyi Ukyab (NY), Soulany (NY), Renegade Momo (NY), Pose Rap (NY) and Takster Band (NY). He has produced videos for several artists including esteemed Tibetan Pop Star Norbu Samdup (Tibet), the one and only Shapaley (Switzerland) and hip hop choreographer Dechen Gendun (Australia).
Past performances include “The Resistance” in Wisconsin, Rap for Tibet, TCCC Gangjong Chodenling (Toronto, Canada), MCA Day 2015: Celebrating the Life of Adam Yauch, 8th Annual Machik Spirit Night, Concerts at UMASS Amherst, Baruch College, Sarah Lawrence College, Mount Holyoke College and various events hosted by Students for a Free Tibet.
“Rap has historically been a mechanism for oppressed people to voice their opinions. That is what I learned in America, especially in New York City. Artists that have continued to influence me include KRS One, Bambu, Public Enemy, Immortal Technique and Black Star to name a few. I admire what they have been able to do for their communities and how they use their voice to highlight their cause. Rap is an effective tool that empowers younger generations to voice their concerns for the society they’re living in.”- Exiled Prophet
