Prasad S (full name Prasad Sashte) was born on 8 September 1977 in the Girgaon area of Mumbai. His father, Prabhakar Sashte, was a noted rhythm player who worked with the veteran composer duos Kalyanji-Anandji and Laxmikant-Pyarelal, immersing Prasad in Hindi film music from an early age; he graduated as an art student from Bhavans College, Mumbai, in 1996.

He has worked for decades in the Mumbai film industry as a music arranger, programmer, and background-score composer, maintaining a long-standing collaboration with composer Pritam since 2003. His arrangement and production credits include songs such as "Tum Se Hi" (Jab We Met, 2007), "Ghar More Pardesiya" (Kalank, 2019), "Tere Hawale" (Laal Singh Chaddha, 2022), and "Tum Kya Mile" (Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, 2023), alongside background scores for films including Commando (2013), Force 2 (2016), and Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana (2017).

Prasad has also composed independently for films such as Mulk (2018) and Atithi Bhooto Bhava (2022). He made his singing debut with the song "Kunj Bihari" from the multilingual film Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart (Hridayam), which also marked his first composing collaboration with veteran lyricist Irshad Kamil.
