Visan Yonjan was born in Myagdi, Nepal on Oct 2nd, 1981. By his early teens, he used to perform in his high school shows, convinced that one day he would be a rock star. Influenced the likes of Guns n' Roses, Bon Jovi, Audioslave, Alterbridge and many rock bands.
In 90s, he used to be in a band called "SPIRAL" and released an album though the album was underrated. After leaving SPIRAL, Yonjan moved on and recorded and released his first debut solo album, PREMIERE, in 2007 with back-up by studio musician like Raju Lama (The Angels), Dibesh Mulmi (COBWEB). PREMIERE got noticed and he realized that he'd need more than session players if he wanted to capitalize on his success.
Visan met Bzu Karmacharya (former lead guitarist of STOND AMP) and formed STOND AMP with other musicians. Their self-titled debut came out in 2009. Underscored by soaring guitar riffs and well-crafted melodies, the band caught the attention. Stond Amp was nominated in different national music awards as well. Band released their 3 videos. "VANANA" AND "PRASHNA" become a well known and much like song among rock enthusiasts.
Their album gained more popularity after their tour in the Eastern Nepal, Darjeeling and Sikkim garnering critical acclaim for their songs like VANANA, PRASHNA, FARKI AAU and SAPANA. Though the band have only been a unit for 2 years and disbanded in 2010. Now, Yonjan has defined his sound and vision to encompass new music and new collaborations and formed Visan N' THE GROOVERS.
Visan N’ the Groovers is a unique band that blends experience of years with fresh passion for music. They have recently released their first single Kaaran along with its music video. And now they are working on their upcoming debut album.
