Early Life
Hirdaya Sharma (often known by his nickname, Riz) was born on August 3, 2000, in the village of Kurgha, Phalebas, located in the Parbat District of Nepal. During his formative years, his family relocated frequently, which gave him the opportunity to live, study, and experience the cultural diversity of several major Nepalese cities, including Pokhara, Lalitpur, and Kathmandu. In 2019, seeking broader educational and career opportunities, Sharma immigrated to Melbourne, Australia, as an international student.
Career
Early Professional Background
Upon his arrival in Melbourne, Sharma initially entered the workforce within the local hospitality sector as a cook. Over time, he transitioned his focus toward the education and community care sectors. He built a comprehensive career in early childhood education, taking on roles as an early childhood teacher, nominated supervisor, and eventually a kindergarten manager at Albion Kindergarten. In these roles, he has been a vocal advocate for inclusive, play-based learning environments. Alongside his work in education, Sharma also serves as a disability support worker, assisting vulnerable individuals with daily living needs and personal care.
Digital Content Creation
Sharma began his digital content journey in 2018 by sharing gaming clips on the platform Musical.ly. As social media platforms evolved, he transitioned to TikTok under the handle @hirdaya.sharma. His content rapidly diversified to include bilingual comedy, community event coverage, and cultural reflections relevant to the Nepalese-Australian diaspora. By July 2026, he had built a dedicated online community of approximately 86,000 followers and accumulated over three million likes. His influence in the digital space was formally recognized when he was awarded the "Best Creator" title by Events Nepal Australia in 2025.
Event Management and Cultural Initiatives
Beyond his digital persona, Sharma is deeply involved in preserving and modernizing cultural traditions. He is a primary promoter of "Melbourne Bhajan," a movement aimed at keeping Hindu devotional music alive for younger generations by incorporating contemporary instruments, digital video formats, and multilingual subtitles without losing the music's traditional spiritual essence.
In 2026, Sharma expanded his cultural bridge-building internationally by organizing the "Hirdaya Sharma Bhajan" spiritual festival in Bali, Indonesia. This cross-border initiative—executed in collaboration with the Indonesian creative agency Jaktive and its CEO, Imanuel—aimed to foster cultural diplomacy and spiritual tolerance between Indonesia, Nepal, and Australia.
Personal Life
Sharma is currently based in Melbourne, Australia. He is highly active in local community-building and frequently participates in events aimed at supporting the Nepalese diaspora. He views digital content creation not just as entertainment, but as a crucial tool for helping younger generations understand their identity and respect their cultural roots while embracing modern, multicultural environments.
