Early career
Based on published interview:
Phatteman Rajbhandari was born as the third child to his parents Purna Maya Rajbhandari and Jeetman Rajbhandari {a tabla player} ; He started his study at Durbar High School where he studied for 2–3 months but later joined Padmodaya High School. He however could not pursue higher education due to family circumstances.
He started singing "Bhajans" at a young age along with some acting. After Radio Nepal was established in 1951, Phatteman got a rare opportunity to reveal his talents. He started out by singing a bhajan “Hey Ram Naam Prabhu Ko Japdai Pran Yo Jaaos”. He then sang "Yesto Pani hudo Raicha" in 1968, composed by his childhood friend, Natikaji that brought him instant recognition. In 2017 BS, Guru Das Gokhle [reference reqd] visited Nepal and Phatteman got an opportunity to train on techniques of music. He further joined Academy Sangeet in 2019 BS and was instructed by Prof. Ram Prasad in Sastriya Sangeet for 4 years.
Legacy
Phatteman is considered as a pioneer in Nepali classical music and was a highly regarded singer alongside famous singers of Nepal like Narayan Gopal, Natikaji and Prem Dhoj Pradhan. In fact, Narayan Gopal was said to be a major admirer of the singer, an admiration that resulted in Gopal’s composing three of Rajbhandari’s songs—Banai Khayo Dadelo Ley, Nachinejhai and Jindagiko Pana Bhari.
Phatteman's one and only album "Phatteman at 70" composed by Aavaas during a 'Paleti' series was released when he was 70 years old and speaks to his nature as described by music critic Raman Ghimire. “It was all thanks not just to his skillful vocals, but also to a very affable nature, the kind that wasn’t looking to constantly hog the spotlight.”
He has performed in more than 400 classical songs either with vocal or with musical performance. Some of his popular songs include:
--> ‘Marna baru garo hunna‘
--> ‘Yesto pani hudo raichha jindagimaa kahile kahile’
--> ‘Sannaniko galaimaa kalo kothi raichh’
