Early life and career

Sandeep's father Hemant Shirodkar, was a sessions musician who played guitar for the famous yesteryear composer duo, Kalyanji–Anandji. As a child, Sandeep used to frequently accompany his father at session recordings. He learnt to play the synthesizer from his father at the age of seven. Sandeep's professional career as a musician started when he played at his first recording session at the age of 12. He soon realized that this was what he was going to do in life; make music. Sandeep also apprenticed under composer Viju Shah (son of Shri Kalyanji), whom he regards as his ‘Guru’.
