A new composer has arrived to take Bollywood bey storm. What followed since is nothing short of a fairy tale. His name is Sandeep Chowtha.
Born in Ghana, raised partly in Nigeria and Bangalore, Sandeep is currently based in Chennai and is creating waves across the country. He took keen interest in jazz in school, after stumbling on his father's collection. Never interested in the family hospitality business, he jumped headlong into the world of music. In his earlier days, he was devoted to jazz, leading him to form the band 'Pulse' with Sivamani and Keith Peters. After redefining music in Bollywood he has his sights set on a world wide audience. Sandeep is composing music for the Beijing Olympics 2008. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
