Bio
Inspired by the beauty, romanticism and social complexities of his Puerto Rican homeland, Mitra Shanti, whose original name is Milton Carrero, began writing his songs at the age of 17, soon before emigrating to the United States to study journalism. He earned his Master's in journalism in 2001 and worked as a reporter for various American newspapers until the year 2004. In 2002, at the age of 23, he survived a cancer that unraveled an awakening in his way of living. In 2003, he took the name of Mitra, after earning his certification as a Yoga instructor. In 2004 he resigned to his job in newspapers to travel with his guitar across Latin America, the United States and Spain. He has since chronicled in his songs what he sees in his inner and outer world.
From the descriptions of Caribbean beaches to the pain of a mother minutes after losing her child, from the intoxication of love to the separation of souls, from the struggles of our daily lives, to the mysticism of death and the wonders of our spiritual paths. Mitra Shanti, whose name means friend of peace in the Indian Sanskrit language, invites us with his songs to reflect about the world we live in and the one we once dared to imagine.
