Career
[edit]In Keerthana Digital studios, Sunny collaborated 350 albums mastering ragas from carnatic Music.

Then he started loving composing albums with carnatic ragas.[6] Sunny moved to Mumbai to meet Sandeep Chowta and joined as a sound engineer. Late Anil Kumar (a music director) and Krishna Chaitanya (a lyricist) inspired Sunny to join as a music director.
