Tandin Wangchuk is the lead singer of Misty Terrace, one of Bhutan’s popular bands known for its emotional and soulful music. His love for singing started at a young age, not through formal training, but through a natural passion to express feelings and connect with others.

Growing up, Tandin felt he had songs inside him that needed to be shared. Music became his way of understanding life — love, loss, hope, and identity. For him, music is not just entertainment; it’s a way to ask important questions about who we are and what we feel.

Misty Terrace blends modern experiences with Bhutanese cultural roots, creating songs that touch both the heart and the spirit. Although the band faced early challenges — with some saying their sound wasn’t traditional enough — they stayed true to themselves. Instead of changing to fit in, they chose to be even more authentic.

Tandin says the best rewards come not from fame, but from the quiet messages of listeners saying his songs helped them feel again.

To young musicians in Bhutan, his advice is simple: “Respect where you come from, but don’t be afraid to write your own story. Sing with honesty, even if your voice shakes. Someone out there is waiting for your song.”
