Sachin Gupta was born in a family of doctors and has studied science at school level. He was in Frank Anthony and spent a couple of years in Apeejay School in New Delhi as well. Having gotten through IIT-Delhi in Mechanical engineering, Sachin decided to instead study physics (honours) and went to Sri Venkateswara College in Delhi University but after a year, he moved to study B.Com (hons) instead at Bhagat Singh while pursuing music simultaneously. He was introduced to the guitar at the age of 7 by his mother and knew ever since that music was his calling in life. He has performed at over 600 concerts across countries including Dubai, London, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia that has included major music festivals such as the Jazz Fest, Edinburgh Fest and Scotland Fest. It was his meeting with the vice President of TIPS Films in London during one of his shows that he moved to Mumbai in 2005. A progression into Bollywood came naturally to him.
Sachin ventured into Bollywood with the two promotional tracks called "Yaad aaye woh pal" and "Farishta" for the Jimmy Shergill-KK Menon starrer Strangers released in 2007. His first full-fledged film is Dil Kabaddi that stars irrfan khan, Soha Ali Khan, Rahul Bose, Konkona Sen and Rahul Khanna. His music is a mix of reggaeton beats in the groovy Utha Le ya phek de to the very soulful melody and his voice in Ehsaan. He has also directed Rahat Fateh ali khan on the track Zindagi ye in the film. His latest film is "Bolo Raam" featuring Nassruhdin Shah and Padmini Kohlapuri with a new star cast in the lead. The film's music is a nice comtemporary sound and somewhat different to the work Sachin has done till now. The songs "Maa" and "Tere Ishq Mein" are soulful and touch a cord with all.
His next big feature is Prince, a TIPS film with Kumar Taurani that has Viveik Oberoi in the lead and release mid 2009. His second film to be released is Jugaad starring Manoj Bajpai which is will release on 6 February 2009 but whose music has already been launched and Ni9NE been introduced with the rock version of the title track Tension Lene Ka Nahin Dene Ka getting rave reviews already.
