These songs clearly reflect the balance between Western musical influences and traditional Nepali melodies in his singing style. His song "O Amira" brought him recognition at the international level.

Musical Journey
[edit]Deepak Bajracharya is recognized in the Nepali music industry since early 2000 and later he revived his presence by his hit song "Man Magan". His work has been appreciated by audiences across different age groups not limited within a certain generation[6]
During a concert in the United States in 2007, a member of the audience approached him and said, “I don’t understand why we should watch your concert. Your music sounds similar to ours, and we don’t understand Nepali. Is it only the language that makes it Nepali music?” The comment strike him, leading to the realization that their work had yet to make a distinct contribution to the identity of Nepali music. After returning to Nepal, he decided to blend traditional Nepali musical instruments and rhythms into the pop genre, aiming to create a sound that was both contemporary and reflecting local culture.[7]
In 2011, he toured across the United States to promote Nepal Tourism Year 2011 as a social ambassador of Nepal Tourism Year 2011[8], highlighting Nepal’s musical heritage.[9]
