About

Early years

Prashanti is a devotional singer and musician born in Patagonia Argentina, currently based in The Netherlands. She spent her childhood in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and attended Film School in Buenos Aires, receiving further education and specialising in Screenwriting in New York.

She grew up in an interfaith family with a Jewish father and a Christian mother, and in which both traditions were honored and joyfully celebrated. Prashanti was always encouraged and given the freedom to find her own path.

Serendipity

She got her first job in the movie industry in 1997 as a production assistant on the feature film ‘Seven Years in Tibet.’ This is where she encountered Buddhism for the first time and felt an immediate and deep connection with its philosophy. The movie was shot in the Andes mountains, in a remote and isolated area where she was sharing her daily life with Tibetan monks, Rinpoches, and high Scholars. Prashanti absorbed their wisdom as much as possible.

Going inward

Powerful blessings

Having received ritual authorizations, guidance, and empowerment from an authentic lineage of masters and teachers who preserved the integrity of Buddha’s teachings has infused her chanting with powerful blessings. 

Soul’s calling

In 2016, Prashanti shifted her focus from a flourishing screenwriting career to devote herself fully to chanting, following her heart’s call as a natural unfolding of her spiritual path. What began as a leap of faith soon blossomed into a worldwide embrace of her music. Known for her luminous and peaceful voice, her distinctive sound honors the ancient tradition of mantras while weaving in her unique contemporary sensibility.

Sacred sounds

On her debut album Inner Light (2017) and Into the Heart (2019), she shares mantras from Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and the Shamanic traditions taking the listener on a journey of experiencing love, deep connection, and peace. She has since released many singles produced by her longtime collaborator, Argentinian musician Diego Marchionatti.

Heart offerings

During the pandemic, she found expression of her innermost feelings in writing two heart songs: Coming Home and A New Day (feat. Kevin Johansen). She also released Lokah Samastah, a prayer for challenging times, and the soundtrack of From Stress to Happiness, the acclaimed Netflix Documentary with renowned Buddhist monk and author Matthieu Ricard. Abrete Corazón (Rosa Giove) allowed her to reconnect with her ancestral Andean roots in a mesmerizing interpretation.

Insight Timer

Prashanti shares her vast experience in meditation and mantras through courses, workshops, and live events on Insight Timer with a global community of over 20 million. She was invited to join the app in 2017 and has been a featured musician and guide, with more than 40k students joining her programs, drawn by her unique ability to reach people’s hearts and inspire them through her accessible, honest, and down-to-earth teaching style. 

Finding peace

Well of inspiration

Prashanti had the good fortune to encounter many remarkable teachers she deeply appreciates and respects: Dr. Jhampa Kalsang, Lama Gyourme, Lama Rinchen Kandro, and Lama Sangye Dorye, to name a few, have greatly enriched her spiritual path. Some precious Masters she never met in the physical form, and yet, they are a constant  well of inspiration like: Sri Ramana Maharshi, Sri Poonja, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, Neem Karoli Baba, Paramahansa Yogananda and Thich Nhat Hanhn. Pranams to all the Saints and Sages.
