Born in Kathmandu, Nepal to the singing legend Prem Dhoj Pradhan, Prasanna has successfully carved out his own niche in the music industry. He is a multi-talented singer, song writer, and instrumentalist (acoustic guitars, keyboard, flutes, various drums including, tabla and madal, indigenous to southeast Asia ). Since childhood, his grandmother influenced and nurtured his passion for music.

Prasanna gave nepali musicians a whole new perspective to music production with the release of his first album, Tale of the Summer in 1994. The writing, composition, vocal and all instruments performed in it were done solely by Prasanna. A delicate fusion of pop and Hip Hop, with lyrics both in english and Nepali languages, Nepal’s Wave magazine called Tale of the Summer the best westernized album of its time. Although, it did not gain instant popularity, it pioneered in paving a path for a new genera of nepali music.

In 1995, Prasanna moved to United States to pursue education in software engineering and has since lived in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon.

In 2003, after taking a long hiatus from recording, he surprised his fans with the release of his much awaited album, EnerZee, a culmination of music ranging from funky dance beats to soothing sentimental melodies. Club goers rocked to the beats of chart topper, 'Hey Maya’. While, 'Timi Aow’, the only song that was done in collaboration (with Steve Areen) received much deserved accolade from fans all over the globe.
