Shani Gandhi built her reputation on the Nashville studio scene through collaborations with country and folk royalty—both rising and legacy stars. Her engineering work on driving anthems for Dierks Bentley (“Burning Man”) and mixing on dance-floor-ready tracks for Kelsey Ballerini (“XO”) brought her widespread industry attention. She also gained renown in the folk world via sophisticated contributions to Alison Krauss’ covers collection Windy City and bluegrass trailblazer Sierra Hull’s 25 Trips.
