Ankit Babu Adhikari (Nepali: अंकित बाबु अधिकारी) is a musician, singer and lyricist from Kathmandu, known from his appearance as top-8 finalist in Nepali Tara season 3.
He was a journalist with The Kathmandu Post and The Himalayan Times before switching into music. At the age of 19, he started his career as a correspondent covering crime, security, history and human rights. Before coming into music full-time, he was a copy-editor.
Ankit started his musical career by composing and performing songs for a post-modern play Coma; A Political Sex staged at Shilpee Theatre, Kathmandu in 2014. His another major milestone includes his solo concert organised in tribute to Narayan Gopal. In 2014-15 he made it to Nepali Tara after which he gained wider audience throughout Nepal and abroad. His first original release is Ram Naam, a song that questions the physical existence of God; that was critically acclaimed in Nepal. He continued his experiment in a 2016 release Nau Futey Bhoot (9 ft. ghost), a song about Indian Blockade in Nepal, for which the Japan-based magazine The Diplomat named him Nepal's Singing Storyteller.
He is also a co-producer of the critically acclaimed documentary Looking The Un-eyed Way. Produced with Pradeep Bashyal and Kumar Paudel, the documentary featured Deurupa Pandey, a 75-year-old blind woman from a village in the hills of Syangja district, who lived alone creating wonders about herself.
