Armaan Malik rose to fame at a young age by singing "Bum Bum Bole" for the film Taare Zameen Par in 2007 when he was only 10 years old. Since then, he has established himself as a playback singer, independent singer-songwriter, and has collaborated with various artists. Recently, he has performed alongside Ed Sheeran and Marshmello on their India tours. During a visit to Bengaluru, Armaan shared his belief that he has turned his dreams into reality. Reflecting on his journey as a singer, he mentions transitioning from a child singer to a teenage pop singer and then to a Bollywood artist. Looking ahead, his future musical aspirations include winning a Grammy, performing at Madison Square Garden, and collaborating with artists like Charlie Puth, Zedd, and Justin Bieber. Armaan emphasizes the importance of being prepared for all opportunities as an artist.

Regarding the current music landscape, Armaan notes a shift towards creating viral hits rather than focusing on quality music. He advocates for the sanctity of music, highlighting that there is no formula for a good song. He expresses concern over the potential misuse of technology, emphasizing the need for laws to protect artists' rights and preserve the authenticity of music. Armaan shares instances where his voice has been manipulated in songs without his knowledge, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding artistic integrity.I find it amusing but also concerning that anyone can use my texture and voice to create a song. There should be regulations in place to protect the rights of artists and ensure that technology does not compromise the authenticity of music. I believe that it is essential for organic elements, such as real instruments and musicians, to always play a fundamental role in the music creation process. What is organic should remain as such. Collaborations are a great way to unite different worlds, fans, and styles. It is crucial to have a genuine attraction to the artist when collaborating. I have several favorite artists I would love to work with because I admire their music and wish to create together. Collaboration should bring together various worlds, fans, and styles with mutual admiration and enthusiasm being key. Without this essential energy, a collaboration is likely to fall short. I have been fortunate to collaborate with many artists I admire, and working with AR Rahman sir was a dream come true. It is amazing how dreams can come to life through manifestation. Today, thanks to talent and internet access, a talented individual in a remote village can share their music, find an audience, and become a star. It is a promising era for independent music in India. Independent music offers significant creative freedom compared to playback singing. When singing for a film, a playback singer often needs to adjust their vocal style to match the on-screen character portrayed by the actor. It's fascinating how a playback singer can adapt like a chameleon. A dream come true for me was singing with Ed Sheeran.Armaan Malik expressed that performing with Ed Sheeran was a humbling experience. Despite Ed Sheeran's worldwide fame, Armaan found him to be remarkably modest. It is uncommon to encounter someone with such high levels of success who retains their down-to-earth nature. They engaged in insightful discussions about music, with a particular focus on Indian music. Ed Sheeran expressed his interest in collaborating with more Indian artists. A strong bond was formed between Ed and Armaan, leading to a close friendship that Armaan now cherishes like a brother. Recently, Armaan Malik delivered a sold-out performance at Bharatiya City in Bengaluru.
