Who or what were the most significant influences on your musical life and career as a composer? Paul Williams was writing the music and lyrics for Bugsy Malone, playing the score on the piano I was being taught on. Watching him showed what was possible and what I wanted to achieve. I worked with Michael Kamen for a number of years orchestrating his work.

He was a huge influence and a giant of a man.

A graduate of Berklee College of Music, Sacha was mentored from a young age by legends like Vangelis, Quincy Jones and Michael Kamen, ensuring that every note.

Lastly, but most importantly Vangelis. Vangelis had an abundance of the latest and best synths, it was heaven. I then visited his Nemo Studios for the recording of Chariots of Fire.
