Transcending his musical roots, Leonardo Prakash, debuts his first single as a singer-songwriter, “Keep the Faith” with Spirit Voyage Records
TULUM, MEXICO. July 29, 2022 – Plucking the strings of his beloved instrument is how most people have experienced Leonardo Prakash’s music. “Keep the Faith” will surprise and delight his fans as he unveils his talents as a poet and singer, sharing a deep and vulnerable facet of himself in his new project of songs. Prakash sings over guitar, baglama, bass and drums with gentle harmonies dancing over his smooth, silky voice. This is the first of three singles leading up to his upcoming album “Dry Leaves,” an album of original songs that welled up from his creative core.
“I love to sing,” says Prakash, “but I never thought I would have the courage to do it. Last summer, seeing the state of the world, I started to write again. I gave myself permission and it was beautiful because everything kind of aligned for this project to happen. I feel great, happy, grateful, everything all together. To share music with people is a real privilege, one of the best feelings of truth and fulfillment.”
