Anto Ferrante is an Italian composer, guitarist, singer & song-writer who lives in Seattle, Washington. Composing in English, Italian and Sanskrit, his lyrics express his heritage (Italian) and life journey in Italy and West Coast of the United States as well as his love of Buddhism and Eastern philosophies. His multi-instrumental songs are instinctual and melancholic with roots in the Mediterranean. He uses music composition as a therapeutic and contemplative practice to awaken his heart and hold his emotions with compassion. Anto is also the founder and artistic curator of the Zen Arts Group (www.zagseattle.org). Through his music and hosting house concerts Anto wishes to inspire others to explore and express their creativity, embodiment and emotions, and to provide a message of hope (www.zagseattle.org/anto).
