Gopi Sundar started his own recording label, Gopi Sundar Music Company in 2014 with an idea to promote aspiring musicians and to make low-budget productions possible.<ref name=":4">{{cite news |title=Gopi Sunder launches his music label |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/music/gopi-sunder-launches-his-music-label/articleshow/34201800.cms |work=The Times of India |date=26 April 2014}}</ref> In 2016, he formed a live performance [[Musical ensemble|music band]] called "Band Big G" in [[Dubai]].<ref name=":3">{{cite news |title=Big band theory |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/society/Big-band-theory/article14414645.ece |newspaper=The Hindu |date=10 June 2016 |last1=Sathyendran |first1=Nita}}</ref> In 2017, his work in the film ''[[Pulimurugan]]'' was included in the contender list for the [[90th Academy Awards]] nominations for [[Academy Award for Best Original Song|Best Original Song]] and [[Academy Award for Best Original Score|Best Original Score]] categories, but none were nominated.<ref name="BestOriginalSong" /><ref name="BestOriginalScore" />

== Early life ==
Born to Suresh Babu and Livi, Sundar spent a large part of his childhood in [[Kochi]]. His early interest in music started from working in his father's recording studio business and listening to the radio with his mother. During school days, Sundar was keener on playing the [[tabla]] and [[Keyboard instrument|keyboard]] than studies. Eventually, when he got dropped out of school after failing his [[SSLC]] exams,<ref>{{cite news |title=Failing SSLC is just a beginning: Gopi sunder – Times of India |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/music/Failing-SSLC-is-just-a-beginning-Gopi-sunder/articleshow/47038073.cms |work=The Times of India}}</ref> his parents were supportive enough to let him pursue his dreams. Keen to make a career in music, he left for [[Chennai]], where he took up classes at the Government Music College, but discontinued the course, feeling disillusioned.<ref name=":0" />

== Career ==
=== Early years ===
His father, Suresh, helped him get into the Malayalam composer [[Ouseppachan]]'s music troupe. [[Ouseppachan]], a longtime friend of Sundar's father, took him as an assistant and became a mentor to the youngster. While on the team, Sundar worked his way up, playing [[tabla]] and [[Keyboard instrument|keyboard]], and began getting noticed for his composing skills as well. In an association that spanned more than a decade, Sundar assisted him with several works.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/composer-ouseppachan-on-his-threedecadelong-journey-in-mollywood/article8528482.ece |title=Music, his driving force |work=The Hindu |last1=Pradeep |first1=K.}}</ref> In the years that he spent in [[Chennai]], he struggled to find a foothold in the music industry. His first exposure to professional music came in the form of composing [[jingle]]s for TV commercials. In those difficult days, his uncle [[Devan (actor)|Devan]], an actor-politician in Malayalam films, helped him get a roof over his head. Sridhar Kariat, son of the legendary Malayalam filmmaker [[Ramu Kariat]], showed him the ropes of how to stand out in the fast lane of advertising. In the world of the catchy jingle music of advertising, it took him seven years to create a niche for himself. His ever-growing repertoire consists of almost 5,000 jingles, a number of them advertising the work of filmmaker and feature film [[cinematographer]] [[Rajiv Menon]].<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.yentha.com/news/view/4/Interview-Of-The-Week-Jingles-Or-Seniors-I-Am-Still-A-Programmer |title=Interview of the Week: Jingles Or Seniors, I Am Still A Programmer – Trivandrum News {{!}} Yentha.com|last=yentha.com|website=www.yentha.com|access-date=24 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/did-you-know-/Gopi-and-Devan-are-relatives/articleshow/44323111.cms |title=Gopi and Devan are relatives! – Times of India |date=4 October 2014 |work=The Times of India}}</ref> He has also done keyboard programming for the [[Bollywood]] music director duo [[Vishal Shekhar]], including for popular songs like "Ek Main Aur Ek Tu Hai" (''[[Bluffmaster!]]''), "Aankhon mein teri" (''[[Om Shanti Om]]''), and music for ''[[Taxi No. 9211]]''.<ref name="Flying high">{{cite news |title=Flying high |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/flying-high/article4860349.ece |newspaper=The Hindu |date=28 June 2013 |last1=Sathyendran |first1=Nita}}</ref>

=== 2005–2012 ===
Sundar got his first break as a [[film score]] composer with [[Notebook (2006 film)|''Notebook'']], after the director [[Rosshan Andrews]] happened to notice his programming for the film ''[[Udayananu Tharam]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/gopi-sundar-turns-music-director-kannada-news-33465.html |title=Gopi Sundar turns music director }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=I create songs that are loved by all: Gopi Sunder |url=http://english.manoramaonline.com/entertainment/interview/gopi-sunder-on-his-musical-journey-and-creating-songs-in-malayalam-films.html |work=OnManorama |date=8 June 2015}}</ref> The eventual success of the film catapulted him into the mainstream, with [[Sibi Malayil]] offering him the first contract for [[soundtrack]] composition for the Malayalam film [[Flash (2007 film)|''Flash'']], starring [[Mohanlal]]. The turning point in his career was the film [[Big B (film)|''Big B'']], which was the debut feature of not only the director [[Amal Neerad]] but also a host of technicians including [[Sameer Thahir]], [[Vivek Harshan]], and [[Unni R.]] Although the film, which starred [[Mammooty]], opened to mixed reviews, it was lauded for its technical finesse and for providing a film experience that was altogether new to the [[Malayalam cinema]].<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.filmibeat.com/malayalam/news/2017/10-years-of-mammootty-s-big-b-here-are-the-film-s-big-contributions-to-the-industry-258627.html |title=10 Years Of Mammootty's Big B: Here Are The Film's Big Contributions to the Industry! |date=13 April 2017 |work=filmibeat.com |access-date=24 June 2017}}</ref> Sundar's background score, which blended aptly with the tone of the film, escalating his popularity amongst the [[Malayali]] film audiences.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/3717/malayalam/big-b/1138/review.htm |title=Big B Review – Malayalam Movie Big B nowrunning review |work=NOWRUNNING |access-date=24 June 2017}}</ref> [[Big B (film)|''Big B'']] marked the beginning of Sundar's long-term association with [[Amal Neerad]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Big B was the result of Mammootty's belief in us : Amal Neerad |url=http://onlookersmedia.in/latestnews/big-b-result-mammoottys-belief-us-amal-neerad/ |website=onlookersmedia.in |date=7 February 2017}}</ref>

In 2008, Sundar made his [[Tamil film industry]] debut by composing the background score for the film ''[[Poi Solla Porom]]''. He then went on to compose songs for a number of films and the film ''[[Sagar Alias Jackie Reloaded]]'' (2009), which starred [[Mohanlal]], had him compose both the soundtrack and the film score. Despite the film being panned by critics and audiences alike, the songs were an instant hit.<ref name=":1" /> The first major award came his way for the film ''[[Anwar (2010 film)|Anwar]]'' in 2010, for which he received the [[Filmfare Award for Best Music Director – Malayalam|Filmfare Award for Best Music Director]].<ref>{{cite news |title='Filmfare Awards South'- A Spectacular Event |url=http://www.greatandhra.com/movies/movie-news/filmfare-awards-south-a-spectacular-event-30289.html |work=Great Andhra |date=3 July 2011}}</ref>

[[Casanovva]] (2012), a Malayalam romantic-thriller film, saw him reunite with [[Rosshan Andrrews]]. He shared music credits with [[Alphons Joseph]] and Gowri Lakshmi for the soundtrack. Although the audio rights were acquired by [[Satyam Audios]] at a record price of ₹12 million (US$190,000), the film had a disappointing run at the box office.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/10-disappointing-films-of-2012-imagegallery-Malayalam-nbdlvqeidie.html?post_ad=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130104055543/http://www.sify.com/movies/10-disappointing-films-of-2012-imagegallery-malayalam-nbdlvqeidie.html?post_ad=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=4 January 2013 |title=10 disappointing films of 2012 |work=Sify |access-date=25 June 2017}}</ref> His next major work that year was for [[Anwar Rasheed]]'s film ''[[Ustad Hotel]]''.

Sundar forayed into [[Telugu cinema|Telugu film industry]] with the film ''[[Malli Malli Idi Rani Roju]]'', which fetched him many fans in Telangana and [[Andhra Pradesh]].
