Armaan Malik, famously known for singing the song "Bum Bum Bole" for the 2007 movie Taare Zameen Par at the age of 10, has since established himself as a versatile artist. From being a playback singer to an independent singer-songwriter, he has collaborated with various musicians and recently performed alongside Ed Sheeran and Marshmello during their tours in India. During a visit to Bengaluru, Armaan shared his belief in manifesting dreams into reality, highlighting his journey through different phases of his music career. He expressed his aspirations to achieve milestones such as winning a Grammy, performing at Madison Square Garden, and collaborating with artists like Charlie Puth, Zedd, and Justin Bieber. Armaan emphasized the importance of quality music over creating viral hits, expressing concerns about the potential misuse of technology, including artificial intelligence, in creating music. He stressed the need for laws to safeguard artists' rights and maintain the authenticity of music in the digital age.I find it both amusing and concerning that anyone could potentially use my voice and texture to produce a song without proper regulations in place. While AI can have its advantages, it is crucial to have laws safeguarding the rights of artists and preventing technology from diluting the authenticity of music. I strongly believe that natural elements, such as real instruments and musicians, should always play a fundamental role in the music creation process. What is organic should remain so.

"Collaborations are an excellent way to unite diverse worlds, fans, and styles. The excitement of collaborating with another artist is genuine attraction towards their work. I have a few favorite artists that I admire and would love to collaborate with due to my appreciation for their music. Collaborations aim to blend various worlds, fans, and styles, requiring mutual admiration and excitement. Without this essential energy, a collaboration is unlikely to succeed. I have been fortunate to collaborate with many artists I admire, with working with AR Rahman being a dream come true. It's amazing how dreams can manifest into reality. Today, with talent and internet access, even a kid in a remote village can gain an audience and become a star, making it an exciting time for independent music in India."

"Playback singers are akin to chameleons, adapting their vocal style to match the on-screen persona of the actors they sing for. When singing for an older actor, adjustments are necessary to ensure that their charisma and persona align with the singer's voice. The freedom provided by independent music allows for greater creativity compared to playback singing, where one must blend their voice with the actor's on-screen persona. Singing with Ed was a dream come true," expressed A.Armaan Malik expressed his humility and admiration for performing with global star Ed Sheeran. Despite Ed Sheeran's immense fame, Armaan found him to be very humble and down-to-earth. They bonded over music discussions, especially about Indian music, and Ed expressed a desire to collaborate with more Indian artists. Their friendship grew strong, and Armaan now considers Ed to be like a brother to him. Armaan Malik's recent sold-out performance at Bharatiya City in Bengaluru was a huge success.
