Sandeep, a composer and multi-instrumentalist trained in guitar, piano, and percussion, has written and recorded music for film and television for over three decades. He explains, “Even though the market fluctuates, I’m able to better plan and prepare; the overall need for stock media mirrors the production cycles of films and television.”
