VZN (Sajish Shrestha) has become one of Nepal’s most talked-about young artists, known for his catchy lyrics, cinematic music videos, and ability to turn heartbreak into art. From hostel raps with friends to building a loyal fanbase through raw storytelling, his journey has always carried themes of love, loss, and self-expression. 

In this episode, VZN opens up about something deeply personal—his recent breakup with his girlfriend of five years. After staying silent about it, he finally shares what really happened, how it’s changed him, and the emotions he’s been carrying behind the music. Honest, vulnerable, and unfiltered, this conversation takes us closer than ever to the person behind the artist.
