In the studio and as a live musician, Prashant’s voice on the guitar is one of a kind. Fans and fellow musicians alike seek him out in hopes of duplicating his technique and tone, but that winning combination is inimitable.
Prashant’s first album, “Revelation”, released in 1998, is a heavy, rhythmically aggressive set, a mix of Indian rhythms and memorable melodies. The success of the album brought Prashant to Italy where he spent almost 2 years promoting his album and conducting guitar clinics.
In the USA, Prashant released “Duality” in 2000. His efforts this time yielded a more sophisticated sound—a fusion of jazz harmonies and Indian melodies, with a more progressive influence in the arrangements.
Prashant Aswani has successfully played almost every genre of music imaginable, from mainstream rock, pop and soul to the more eclectic fare of the international music scene. He has recently toured with a variety of recording artists, including a sold out tour in Japan with R&B songstress Christina Milian and a performance at the Billboard Music Awards with pop idol Justin Timberlake.
Prashant has lent his chops, over the last couple of years alone to 15 albums worldwide, among them: Greg Howe’s latest two CD’s, “Ascend” and “Hyperacuity”; Diaz’s project, “Devotion”, which also features jazz legend Herbie Hancock; a 2001 Jeff Beck tribute CD featuring other well-known guitarists; and an Indian fusion project with world-renowned bansuri (bamboo flute) player Ronu Majumdar; Dave Martone’s latest album “Aliens”.
Not missing a beat, Prashant now turns his attention to his next endeavor, the highly anticipated “Sonically Speaking”, which he promises will be both an update of the jazz-influenced progressions and ethnic melodies that are his trademark, as well as a return to the hard-hitting, aggressive style that won him rave reviews when he first burst onto the scene.
Prashant Aswani uses Dean Markley’s VintageBronze Acoustic LT, NPS Electric Helix HD REG, and NickelSteel Electric REG.
Prashant said:
I have used Dean Markley Strings since I was a kid. They have the exact feel I like. Spongy, Clear and long lasting sustain for great tone.
