Bio
 **Tenzin Choegyal is a renowned Tibetan‑Australian singer, composer and musician whose work bridges traditional Tibetan music and contemporary expression. Born into a family of nomadic Tibetan herders, he grew up steeped in the musical traditions of his homeland and later relocated to Australia in 1997, where he became an influential figure in world and cross‑cultural music.** **Tenzin’s music draws deeply on Tibetan nomadic song, Buddhist mantra and ancient instruments such as the *dranyen* (Tibetan lute) and *lingbu* (bamboo flute), woven together with his evocative vocals and collaborative spirit. He has performed internationally at major festivals (including WOMAD) and prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House, and has collaborated with artists such as Philip Glass and Laurie Anderson. His work also includes the Grammy‑nominated album *Songs from the Bardo* (2021), which interprets the *Tibetan Book of the Dead* through music.** **Beyond performance, Tenzin is active in promoting Tibetan culture through festivals, workshops and community projects, making him one of the most internationally recognised Tibetan musicians working from Australia.**
