Celebrates his birthday on 14 March making him a Piscean through and through. 
Is an introvert. When he was just climbing the charts, he felt very uneasy to give interviews and appear on TV programs. This reluctance was rewarded with a 'Banned status' from various FM stations!
Is left-handed.
Staunchly believes in Numerology so much so that to make his name more 'auspicious' and more 'in-tuned' to universal vibes, he added the letter 'K' to his name. You can easily see the results!
Can read palms. Learnt the fundamentals of Palmistry by reading a book by famous palmist Cheiro. Also has a strong gut feeling and time honed instincts. "When I first heard Anil (Singh), I knew that instant that he's going to be all over Nepali music scene in due time."
Is a trend setter. Rap wasn't the in-thing in the mainstream music scene, until Nabin came along with his song Timi Lai Bhetne. That song opened the door for the various rap acts and took Nepali music to new heights.
Is not religious. Has precisely the same view point on god as a physicist, which is to say that he's an atheist.
Won Best Male Vocal in 'Sajan Smriti Contest' in 2044 BS and won Rs 1000 bucks as the prize but spent all of it in booze!
Later formed The Steel Wheels with couple of friends from school and continued with it until the rest of the gang left to pursue their further studies. Started singing on his own, and that's when his song Ankhama Timi Lai topped the airwaves. The rest, as they say it, is history.
Loves to fly kite, and whenever his friends are in India, he requests to bring the special thread to fly it with.
Loves Dog. Owns a dog that was given to him by his fan, Sani Shrestha. Sadly Shrestha is not with us today, sometime back she passed away owning to a heart attack. But her gift still lives on.
