The name “Ani Choying” symbolizes charity, humility and empathy. She is a Nepalese Buddhist nun and musician, internationally renowned for bringing many Tibetan Buddhist chants and feast songs to mainstream audiences. Her musical career began in 1994 when U.S. guitarist Steve Tibbetts during a visit to Nepal met Ani Choying and listened to her chanting. He was immediately impressed with her singing talents and eventually managed to record it on a cassette recorder in a small shrine room. The result was a collaborative album Cho, which was released in 1997. Ani Choying has been involved in several humanitarian works. She has been recently appointed as the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador to Nepal. She has come a long way from there and has today become a role model for women’s empowerment in Nepal as well as across Asia.
