Career

Sandhu was the former host of the breakfast show on the BBC Asian Network. He joined the station's daily schedule in February 2010 amid rumours that the station might close. Since his arrival in the drivetime and subsequently breakfast slot, the station's figures rose every quarter. The RAJAR figures for the station's weekly reach were approximately 300,000 in early 2010 and in 2017 when he left the station they stood at just under 700,000 listeners. Sandhu has the highest figures ever recorded for an Asian radio show in the UK.

Sandhu's first presenting job was with Tess Daly on Smash Hits TV for Sky One. He was also the announcer – replacing "our Graham" on the final series of the British version of Blind Date, starring Cilla Black.

Sandhu has DJ'd in many London venues, including China White, Movida, Cafe de Paris, Paper, The Roof Gardens and The Shadow Lounge. His DJ sets include funky house, RnB and a mix of old school tracks. As a composer, Sandhu has produced the theme music to several TV shows which include Blind Date (ITV), Britain's Next Top Model (LIVING), Celebrity Snappers (Bravo) and I'd Do Anything (BBC 1).

Sandhu began his radio career as the London show business reporter for the BBC Asian Network covering premieres, parties and gossip from the capital, interviewing an array of stars such as Jeff Goldblum, Ricky Gervais, Kevin Spacey, Harvey Keitel, Keira Knightley, Daniel Radcliffe, Tilda Swinton (Oscar and Bafta winner), Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Jennifer Ellison, Amber Heard and Marion Cotillard, as well as Bollywood superstars such as Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra.[2]
