Tenzin Donsel: Tibetan Singer

Tenzin Donsel is a New York based Tibetan singer who released her first album, ‘Bhoe Kyi Bhumo’ in 2015 which became an instant hit with her music videos garnering almost a million views within a year. Donsel believes her interest in music was fostered during her nineteen years as a member at the Dharamsala based Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts, where she participated in over 19 Tibetan Opera performances, and was the lead singer and actor in many movies and shows. Donsel tells VOA that the support and love she has received from people is what drives her to make more music and will be releasing her second album, ‘Potala’ sometime this year.
