Prashant Aswani is an adroit, committed guitar player from Los Angeles, California (U.S.A.) who expresses his style as indian rock fusion, as one can appreciate on his latest album, "Duality".  His favorite guitar is an ESP: Prashant Aswani M-II. Aswani has played guitar since 1987, and candidly acknowledges his career aspiration, "To be a recording artist and producer."
When requested to reveal his number one effect for the guitar, Aswani answered back with, "Tube Screamer Overdrive," and then brought up his musicial goals, "Each song is an individual story with a beginning, middle, and end. If just one person can connect to my story then my goal has been accomplished." He hopes to one day study classical Indian Vocal, and is at this time listening to Hariprasad Chaurasia and Zakir Hussein. His utmost fulfillment? "Finishing an album. Every time I finish an album a sense of release occurs. I am then able to be free within my mind, body, and soul to create again," he affirms conclusively.
 Aswani concludes by mentioning continuing and future undertakings in his own words, "I have recorded three new songs for "Revelation" with my new trio - myself, Joey
Heredia (drums) and Alex Evens (bass). We are gigging in LA in preparation for a tour and album. This tour will also include guitar seminars."
Guitar Nine Records visitors have compared the playing style and/or musical approach of Prashant Aswani to guitarists such as Greg Howe, Alessandro Benvenuti, Allan Holdsworth, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Tony MacAlpine, Richie Kotzen, Gianni Rojatti and others.
