While on tour with Gnarls Barkley in 2006, Ana Lenchantin was contacted by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails to perform and be musical director of the "unplugged" version of NIN at Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit. The instrumentation consisted of a violin, two cellos, bass, and a variety of Chinese instruments. Soon after the performance, Trent and strings were in the studio recording the 6 tracks. In 2009 she returned to perform at the Bridge School Benefit, this time putting a string group together with the band No Doubt.
She is the sister of Paz Lenchantin, and Luciano Lenchantin who died in 2003. She collaborated with Paz's short-lived group Zwan and was slated to contribute to the acoustic incarnation of Zwan known as "The Djali Zwan".[2]
Ana was the cellist for Indie/classical/rock band The Romanovs and core member of the Los Angeles-based band, Into the Presence. On September 21, 2009, she appeared on the 2 hour season 6 premiere of House M.D. entitled Broken (Part 1) as a guest star in the role of "Silent Girl".[3]
