Sachin is an ardent music educator and performing artiste with wide-ranging expertise in multilingual Indian and Western classical, contemporary, folk, and ghazal music. He holds an Honors degree in Vocal Performance (Western Classical Music) from Middlesex University, London, and a Master’s degree in Film Scoring and Music Education from Kingston University, London.

From childhood, Sachin has been rigorously trained in both Carnatic and Hindustani classical music under legendary masters. He learned Carnatic music under Neyyatinkara Mohanachandran and Parassala Ponnammal, and Hindustani music under Ustad Ghulam Akbar Khan of the Rampur Sahaswan Gharana, giving him a rare dual-classical foundation that continues to shape his distinctive musical identity.

​

Introduced into films by acclaimed filmmaker Jayaraj in 2006, Sachin went on to score music for Indian feature films such as Unarv (2015)—whose song Unaru was selected as Track of the Week by BBC Asian Network—Swayam (2017) (Indo–German production), the British feature film Kamsa (2018), Roudram (2018), Backpackers (2020), Vellaripattanam (2023), Neeraja (2023), and others. His independent works include albums such as IFID Theme (Moscow), Tribute to Swathi (commemorating the 200th anniversary of Swathi Thirunal), Kanthi (UK), and more. Sachin made his Hollywood debut with the feature film Lake of Fire (2017) starring Christopher Atkins, for which he composed the background score and a song—this work was shortlisted for the Academy Awards (Oscars) 2018.

​

Sachin achieved his first major success as a singer at the age of 13 with his debut solo album Bhasmatheertham. Having performed across India, the UK, and Europe, he has closely collaborated with A.R. Rahman, performing with the Babelsberg Film Orchestra for the concert tour Classic Incantations (India & Germany, 2012) and serving as a lead vocalist for Rahman’s Sufi Ensemble (2010–2012). He is the recipient of several honours, including the CCRT National Scholarship (Government of India, 1999), the LPR Varma Award for Carnatic music (2004), and the first-ever A.R. Rahman Scholarship from Middlesex University (2012). His work has been featured in The Hindu, The Times of India, The New Indian Express, Deccan Chronicle, Malayala Manorama, and internationally on The Oprah Winfrey Show (2012).

In 2017, Sachin launched the innovative Global Ghazal Project, reimagining ghazal music through cross-cultural collaborations. In July 2019, he released his world-music album Ghats of Gondwana (composer, arranger, singer), featuring Grammy-nominated artists Manu Delago and James Campbell. The album was featured on BBC Radio, Songlines Magazine, BIRN Global Radio (Berklee College of Music), Ethnocloud, and more.

​

Sachin has a long-standing artistic collaboration with the University of Southampton. He performed at the inaugural India Day Concert (2019) and was invited again for the 5th Year India Centre Celebration (2024). In 2020, he presented an exclusive online Javed Akhtar Tribute Concert in the presence of Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi, receiving personal appreciation from both. He also composed the official Theme Music for the India Centre, representing their cultural, academic, and community mission.

​

In 2022, he composed and released an exclusive raga-based album commissioned by West One Music Group (UK). This was followed by his second studio album EM. in 2023, showcasing his evolving artistic voice.
