Guitar & Vocals
A graduate of the National Institute of Design [NID], a Product & User Experience designer by profession, he has always been a musician and sound designer at heart. He owes it all to his Dad for giving him the freedom to dream & be whatever he wished to be.
After dabbling for more than 15 years in the corporate world contributing, heading and leading various User Experience Design initiatives. . . he finally quit the comforts of his corporate routine to focus and explore his journey of Life through Music, Entrepreneurship, meaningful Design engagements and the appreciation of Nature and all its creation.
His upbringing, childhood initiation, training and exposure to Indian classical music has been a strong foundation to help nourish his musical sensibilities. Besides composing and arranging jingles for Radio & Television, he has composed, written and performed music for several plays which have been performed live at prestigious venues. He thoroughly enjoys sharing & conducting Sound Design workshops for enthusiasts and children.
He has also had the honour of working closely with the renowned Mrinalini Sarabhai and Mallika Sarabhai on their Theatre & Dance productions. His background score for the feature films Bhoomiyude Avakashikal & the recent Mohavalayam by National Award winning Director T.V.Chandran has received a lot of appreciation. He also scored the music for a short film The Breadfruit Tree by Priyamvada Narayanan that was adjudged the Best Foreign Short Film at the California International Film Festival.
He is also a self-taught guitar player and performing Artist who has been constantly seeking to collaborate with musicians from other genres to discover, learn and bring in that unique Indian classical & folk touch to his guitar playing and singing. Ustad Faiyaz Khan, a childhood friend he considers his elder brother and Music Mentor constantly inspires him to fine-tune his musical repertoire. Sandeep truly believes that there is a Guru in every little creation, all one needs to do is remain a humble student. Observe and Listen.
