Making her mark as an independent singer, Swati Prasad has also been doing a lot of stage shows since 11 years of age. She has also been performing as a child artist at Ranchi Doordarshan and All India Radio.

Career
“Initially she had been invited to record the scratch for this song. It was a few months later when the composer Avijit Das told her that the producers have decided to release the song in her voice and will not get it recorded from someone else. She had not thought that the filmmakers would like her voice so much and choose to use the version for the film which was a very pleasant surprise,” said Swati Prasad. Recently the singer was also part of a group song while recording the theme music for the famous reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. The music for the same has been composed by the duo Ajay- Atul Gogavale who are well known for Hindi movies like PK, Agneepath, Singham and many others. “It was a dream come true to be a part of this composition. To be involved with anything related to the legend Amitabh Bachchan is nothing short of a lifetime achievement for me. To work for composers like Ajay- Atul at Yash Raj Studios is something that every singer aspires for. Inspite of being so renowned in the Hindi and Marathi film industry, the composers were so humble and encouraging. Swati Prasad was also adjudged as the first runner up at the popular reality show ‘India’s got Talent- Season 8’ in 2018 aired on Colors TV where she was performing as one of the lead singers with a group called Live 100.
