Sunny Jain is a composer, drummer, and dhol player, best known for founding the groundbreaking Bhangra-jazz-rock band Red Baraat. His innovative project Wild Wild East draws inspiration from a wide array of musical influences, including Bollywood classics, Punjabi folk traditions, jazz improvisation, and psychedelic rock. The fusion of these styles results in a sound described as “furiously propulsive” by the New York Times, blending energy, rhythm, and cultural richness. Beyond his music, Sunny appeared as "Mr. Tambourine Man" in A Complete Unknown, a film starring Timothée Chalamet, further showcasing his diverse artistic talents and creative range.
