大象传媒

From 大象传媒 Introducing artist to performing at the Dalai Lama鈥檚 public talk at the O2 Arena in just six months - this is the story of Ngawang Lodup鈥檚 remarkable rise.

Exclusively for 大象传媒 iPlayer, From Buddhist Monk To Rock Star is the incredible story of triumph over adversity for the singing ex-monk, who ten years ago fled his life in a Tibetan monastery, trekking for 18 days, 250 miles, to pursue a life where he could freely express himself. After settling in the UK, Ngawang performed as a highly sought after singer amongst the Tibetan Diaspora in Europe but was picked up by 大象传媒 Radio 3 in April 2015 in the inaugural year of a 大象传媒 Introducing World Music scheme.
