Annie Choying Drolma (Nepali: आनी छोइङ डोल्मा (born June 4, 1971), in Kathmandu, Nepal, also known as Choying Drolma and Ani Choying (Ani, "nun", is an honorific), is a Nepalese Buddhist nun and musician from the Nagi Gompa nunnery in Nepal. She is known in Nepal and throughout the world for bringing many Tibetan Buddhist chants and feast songs to mainstream audiences. She has been recently appointed as the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador to Nepal.
Ordained in the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition, Ani Choying took the title ani, meaning nun. While at Nagi Gompa she studied English, and learned to sing spiritual songs and melodies from her mentor and guru, the abbot Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, who passed on to her the teachings of the Kagyu and Nyingma schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
Her life changed abruptly once again when she was discovered singing devotional prayers in the nunnery by American musician Steve Tibbetts in 1994. Tibbetts happened to be visiting the Nagi Gompa one day when he was told to go and hear the young nun sing. He took a cassette recorder with him but was so captivated by Ani Choying’s voice that he forgot to hit record. He had to track her down in another monastery to record her on his second attempt.
