Sathya's background in Carnatic music had greatly influenced his skills in film music composition. Being a Carnatic singer and proficient in playing the harmonium, he effortlessly grasped the intricacies of music composition. This proficiency extended to the keyboard, which he had not only played but also programmed for various esteemed music directors, including Bharadwaj.

Career

Despite facing initial challenges, Sathya got his first break with the film "Yen Ippadi Mayakinai" in 2009, although its release was delayed. However, the songs gained popularity in the audio circuit. It was after three years when the producers of Engaeyum Eppothum (2011) heard his compositions that he finally received recognition. The film turned out to be a sleeper hit, propelling Sathya's career forward. His exceptional work in this film opened doors for him, nad he has gained recognition and admiration in the industry for his distinct and melodic musical style.

Subsequently, he worked on projects like Sevarkkodi (2012) and Ponmaalai Pozhudhu (2012) in quick succession.[1][2] His notable scores include Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru (2013), Nedunchaalai (2013), Ivan Veramathiri (2013), Velainu Vandhutta Vellaikaaran (2016), and Aranmanai 3 (2021).
