Armaan Malik sang the song "Bum Bum Bole" for the movie "Taare Zameen Par" in 2007 when he was only 10 years old. Since then, he has become a prominent 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 visit to Bengaluru, Armaan shared his belief in manifesting his dreams into reality. He expressed his journey as a singer, from being a child singer to exploring pop and Bollywood music. He has set his sights on future musical goals such as winning a Grammy, performing at Madison Square Garden, and collaborating with artists like Charlie Puth, Zedd, and Justin Bieber. According to him, a good song should not be confined to a formula. He noted a trend towards creating viral hits over quality music, emphasizing the importance of preserving the authenticity of music and protecting artists' rights from technology advancements like AI. Armaan expressed concern over instances where his voice has been manipulated in songs without his consent. He emphasized the need for regulations to maintain the integrity of music creation.I find it both amusing and concerning that anyone can utilize my texture and voice to produce a song. There is a need for regulations to be established. While AI can offer benefits, laws must be in place to safeguard artists' rights and prevent technology from eroding the genuineness of music. I believe that traditional elements, such as authentic instruments and musicians, should always be integral to the music-making process. What is organic should remain authentic. "Collaborations are an excellent means of merging different worlds, fans, and styles." Collaborating with another artist is thrilling, with the crucial factor being a genuine attraction to that artist. I have several favorite artists whom I would like to partner with because I appreciate their music and desire to create together. Collaborations serve to unite diverse worlds, fan bases, and musical styles. The essential aspects are mutual admiration and enthusiasm. Without that energy, a collaboration is unlikely to succeed. I have always had a lengthy list of admired artists, and thankfully, I have collaborated with many of them. Working with AR Rahman was a dream come true. It's incredible how manifestation can bring dreams to fruition. Today, a talented individual in a remote village can gain stardom if they produce exceptional content that resonates with an audience and garner attention. This is a promising era for independent music in India. Armaan Malik says, "A playback singer is akin to a chameleon." Independent music provides significant creative freedom compared to playback singing. As a playback singer, you often need to adjust your vocal style to complement the on-screen persona of the actor. If the actor is older than you, you may need to modify your tone slightly to ensure compatibility with their charisma and character on screen. It's fascinating how one can adapt like a chameleon. A dream came true for me when I sang with Ed.Armaan Malik expressed humility after performing with Ed Sheeran. Despite Ed Sheeran's worldwide fame, he was remarkably approachable. It is unusual to encounter someone of his stature who remains so genuine. They had enriching discussions about music, particularly Indian music, and Ed expressed a desire to work with more Indian artists. Their bond deepened into a strong friendship, and Armaan now views Ed as a brother. Armaan Malik recently delivered a sold-out performance at Bharatiya City in Bengaluru.
