How much do you enjoy watching music videos? From the actors’ performances and background dancers to the locations, visuals, and many other elements, audiences notice and appreciate countless details. However, there is one important aspect we often know very little about—the person who brings all these elements together and transforms them into a complete music video, from the initial concept to the final output.

Unfortunately, music videos themselves rarely provide much information about these creative minds, and the media also does not always give them the coverage they deserve.

So, this time, we are bringing you the story, work, and creative journey of a highly talented, established, and busy choreographer and music video director who has made a significant mark in the Nepali music industry.

Mausam Himali is steadily establishing himself as one of the promising and versatile creative professionals in Nepal’s entertainment industry. Known for his work as a music video director and choreographer, Himali has built an impressive portfolio across Nepali folk, dohori and modern music videos and has recently expanded his presence into Nepali feature films.

With years of experience behind the camera and on the choreography floor, Mausam Himali represents a new generation of creative talent contributing to the changing landscape of Nepal’s music and film industries.

Mausam Himali’s Journey in Nepali Music Videos

Director Himali’s publicly available professional credits date back to 2017, including his work on Phool Fulyo Guras. Since then, he has worked on numerous popular Nepali music videos as a director and choreographer.

His growing body of work includes music videos such as Aiya Barilai, Rato Sari Farara, Banma Chari, Vitamin U, Junkiri, Maya Pirim, Patali 3, Nani Mai, Tek Maya, Mutuma Maya Chha, Papaki Pari, Nirmaya Thuli, A Hora Maya, A Meri Sakuntala, Lovi Najar, Aaha Maya and Aankhaima Baseki Mayalu, among others.

His work across different styles of Nepali music has helped him develop a strong presence in the industry, particularly in the rapidly growing folk-dohori music video sector.

In 2021, Onlinekhabar highlighted Himali as one of the notable younger-generation directors working in Nepali folk-dohori music videos, reflecting his growing recognition within the industry.

From Music Video Direction to Nepali Film Choreography

While director Mausam initially gained wider recognition through music videos, his creative journey has increasingly extended into the world of Nepali cinema.

He has been associated with several feature films as a choreographer, with available credits including Basanta, Mahabhoj, Reemai, Hari Bahadur Ko Jutta, Soltini, Jhari Pachhi Ko Indreni and Gauthali.

His film choreography credits demonstrate his ability to transition from the shorter, visually dynamic format of music videos to the larger creative demands of feature films. IMDb also lists choreography credits for Himali in films including Basanta and Soltinee.

This expansion into cinema is an important step in his career and highlights his versatility as a creative professional working across multiple formats of Nepal’s entertainment industry.

Bela Bitesi From Hari Bahadur Ko Jutta

One of Mausam Himali’s recent film-related highlights came through the song “Bela Bitesi” from the Nepali film Hari Bahadur Ko Jutta.

The song features popular performers Prakash Saput and Swastima Khadka, while its choreography was handled by Mausam Himali. The project further brought his work into the spotlight and added another significant film credit to his growing career.

As Nepali films increasingly place greater importance on visually appealing songs and choreography, creative professionals like Himali are finding more opportunities to bring their experience from the music video industry into mainstream cinema.

Awards and Recognition

Director MH’s work has also received recognition through different Nepali music and entertainment award platforms.

He is recorded as the Best Music Video Director winner at the Music Khabar Music Awards 2081.

His other award-related recognitions include:

• Best Folk-Dohori Director nomination at the NIM Awards for Nirmaya Thuli
• Director nomination at the Genius Music Awards for Jam Bho Saili
• Director nomination at the Shiva Shakti Teej Music Awards for Bhale Madal
• Listed among the Top 5 Best Choreographers at the 9th National Lok Dohori Awards for Syauli Bajarma

These recognitions reflect his continued involvement and visibility in Nepal’s competitive music video and folk entertainment industry.

A Growing Name in Nepal’s Entertainment Industry

From directing popular Nepali music videos to choreographing songs for feature films, Mausam Himali continues to expand his creative identity.

His career represents an increasingly common path in Nepal’s entertainment industry, where successful music video directors and choreographers are bringing their experience, visual storytelling skills and understanding of popular audiences into feature filmmaking.

With an expanding portfolio of music videos, award recognition and growing involvement in major Nepali films, Mausam Himali is emerging as a creative force to watch in Nepali music video direction and choreography.
