After a looooong gap we are back with our guff-suff section where we ask our featured celebrity some ordinary yet interesting questions. And this time we are presenting to you Mr. Manoj Kumar KC, dashing and very talented lead guitarist of the phenomenal band 1974 AD.
He owns a recording studio and is a much sought after music arranger. He is into background scores these days and has done a fabulous job on the background score of movie Sano Sansar.
Sometime back we also saw him as one of the three judges (other two were Dev Rana and Robin Tamang) in the Sprite Band Challenge, a reality music competition show in Kantipur Television, where young musicians showcased their talent.
