Surinder Sandhu has established himself as one of the most inventive, exciting and talented composer/soloists both in the West and East. So much so, that for his debut album ‘SauRang Orchestra’, he had an outstanding array of ‘A’ list maestro’s cueing up to work with him!

On that first record, which was recorded over a 12 month period in three continents, Surinder enrolled among others; The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Guitar Legend Steve Vai, British Saxophone hero Andy Sheppard and many eminent Indian soloists.

‘SauRang Orchestra’ won critical acclaim the world over, catapulting Surinder Sandhu into major league music circles, where he was publicised even through mainstream media, along with credible pop acts!!

In 2004 (after recruiting a team of undiscovered talent) less than a year after releasing ‘SauRang’, Surinder returned with ‘Cycles and Stories’. This incredibly fresh sounding record featured his current line up focusing on capturing the energy from the live shows.

Aside from touring internationally, Surinder is in constantly demand as a recording artist, composer and lecturer in contemporary music.

2007 see’s the release of his third outing ‘The Fictionist’, described as an epic symphonic collage, which will feature Symphony Orchestra, Madras Voice Choir and very special guest soloists, Surinder will be collaborating with George Lucas’ incredible Skywalker team on the post production, to ensure that ‘widescreen’ sound.
