Rojman Maharjan is a well-known singer and musician, loved for his popular songs like "Maya Madula," "Aila Luwaya," and "Salugu Gacha." He is also engaged in different social activities. At the 55th session of The Story Yellers, he shared his personal experiences, emphasizing the importance of culture and detailing how his love for music guided him to a meaningful path in life.

Born and raised in Khokana, the first town in Nepal to get electricity supply in 1911 AD during the reign of Rana Prime Minister Chandra Shamsher, Rojman was immersed in a rich cultural heritage from a young age. Growing up, he was a part of various celebrations like Jatras and festivals, where music played an integral role. Early on, he realized that something about music captivated and mesmerized him. Being a part of the Newar community, he was familiar with the rhythms of traditional instruments like the Dhime, Khing, and Madal. His musical journey began when his math teacher, Laxmi Dangol, who was also an expert tabla player, taught him how to play the Madal.

Rojman was eager to learn Dhime as well, but there was no one in his family associated with Dafa—a Newar cultural tradition where groups play various instruments and sing folk songs. However, with the help of his guru, Vishnu Bhakta Dangol, Rojman had the opportunity to learn and even become a part of Dafa. Under the guidance of his teachers, he pursued a diploma in tabla from Illahabad, India. Upon returning, he applied for a music teacher position at Gyanodaya Bal Batika School and was selected.

Nirakar Yakthumba, the bassist of 1974 AD, frequently visited the school, as it belonged to his mother, the principal, Indira Yakthumba. Being an admirer of Nirakar, Rojman would greet him whenever he saw him at school. One evening during dinner, Nirakar asked his mother, "Who is that boy who greets me daily?" She replied, "He is a Madalu. He plays Madal all the time." Nirakar then said, "Send him over to Moksh; I’d like to meet him."

As soon as he got the call he rushed towards Moksha. When he visited Moksh, he met the band members of 1974 AD for the very first time. During their meeting, they asked him to play the Madal and offered him a spot in their upcoming project.
