Armaan Malik, who sang "Bum Bum Bole" for the 2007 film Taare Zameen Par at just 10 years old, has since established himself as a playback singer and independent singer-songwriter. He has collaborated with various artists and recently performed with Ed Sheeran and Marshmello during their tours in India. During a recent visit to Bengaluru, Armaan expressed his belief in manifesting his dreams into reality. He reflected on his journey as a singer, transitioning from a child singer to a teenage pop singer and then into the Bollywood scene. Armaan shared his ambitions for the future, which include winning a Grammy, performing at Madison Square Garden, and collaborating with artists like Charlie Puth, Zedd, and Justin Bieber. He emphasized the importance of being prepared for the opportunities that may arise.

Armaan also discussed his views on the music industry, noting a shift towards creating viral hits over focusing on quality songs. He stressed that a good song should not follow a formula and expressed concerns about the potential misuse of technology to manipulate artists' voices. Armaan highlighted the need for laws to protect artists' rights and preserve the authenticity of music in the digital age.I find it both amusing and alarming that anyone can replicate my voice and music style using technology without permission. There is a need for regulations to protect artists' rights and ensure that music authenticity is preserved. I strongly believe that traditional elements such as real instruments and musicians should always play a vital role in music creation. Organic aspects should be kept organic. Collaborations are a fantastic way to unite different worlds, fans, and genres. When collaborating with another artist, genuine admiration and mutual enthusiasm are crucial for success. I have a list of favorite artists with whom I would love to collaborate due to my respect for their music. Working with AR Rahman was a dream come true for me, and it shows how manifestation can bring dreams to fruition.

The current era allows talented individuals, even those in remote areas with internet access, to showcase their skills and gain fame through independent music. Playback singing requires adapting vocal style to suit the actor's on-screen character, making it a creative challenge. Singing with Ed Sheeran was a dream turned reality for me.Armaan Malik expressed that performing alongside Ed Sheeran was a humble experience. Despite being a global superstar, Ed Sheeran displayed remarkable humility. It is unusual to encounter someone of his stature who remains so connected to his roots. Armaan and Ed engaged in enriching discussions about music, including Indian music. Ed expressed a desire to collaborate with more Indian artists. Their bond grew into a close friendship, with Armaan now considering Ed as a brother. Recently, Armaan Malik performed at a sold-out show in Bharatiya City, Bengaluru.
