Armaan Malik, the talented singer, first gained recognition at the age of 10 when he sang "Bum Bum Bole" for the movie "Taare Zameen Par" in 2007. Over the years, he has transitioned from a playback singer to a successful independent singer-songwriter, collaborating with various artists. Recent highlights include performances with renowned artists like Ed Sheeran and Marshmello during their tours in India. During a recent visit to Bengaluru, Armaan shared his belief in manifesting dreams into reality, stating his aspirations to win a Grammy, perform at Madison Square Garden, and collaborate with artists such as Charlie Puth, Zedd, and Justin Bieber. He emphasized the importance of being prepared for all opportunities as an artist.

Reflecting on the evolving music landscape, Armaan noted a shift towards prioritizing viral hits over quality songs. He stressed the uniqueness of each good song, cautioning against reducing music creation to a formulaic process focused solely on generating hits. Armaan expressed concerns about the potential misuse of technology, citing instances where songs have been manipulated to mimic his voice. While recognizing the benefits of artificial intelligence in music production, he underscored the importance of protecting artists' rights and preserving the authenticity of music.I find it both amusing and concerning that anyone can potentially use my voice and texture to create music without regulations in place. While AI can offer benefits, it is essential to have laws protecting artists' rights and preserving the authenticity of music. I believe organic elements like real instruments and musicians should always play a significant role in the music creation process. What is authentic should remain so. Collaborations are a wonderful way to unite different worlds, fans, and styles. When collaborating with another artist, it's crucial to have a genuine connection and mutual admiration. Successful collaborations require shared enthusiasm and energy. I have had the privilege of collaborating with many artists I admire. Working with AR Rahman was a dream come true. It's incredible how manifestation can turn dreams into reality. Nowadays, talent from even remote areas can find an audience and achieve stardom through the internet. Independent music has a thriving scene in India. As a playback singer, one must adapt and adjust vocal styles to suit the on-screen persona of actors. It's like being a chameleon in terms of versatility. Singing alongside Ed Sheeran was a dream fulfilled for me."Sharing the stage with Ed Sheeran was a truly humbling experience for me. Even with his immense fame worldwide, Ed Sheeran exuded a remarkable sense of humility. It's uncommon to encounter someone of his stature who stays so rooted. Our discussions about music, including Indian music, were truly enjoyable, and he expressed his desire to work with more Indian artists. Our bond grew into a close friendship, and now I see him as a brother. (Armaan Malik recently delivered a sold-out performance at Bharatiya City in Bengaluru)."
