As he discussed his development as a vocalist, Armaan said to IANS, “I’ve had a very clear vision of building my unique personality since the beginning of my profession.”
“Everyone around you expects you to pursue the same road and certainly has everything planned out for you along the way when you come from a family that is entrenched in musical greatness. But I was aware that I wanted to succeed on my own merits and not rely on my family name to advance my career,” he added.
Armaan is the nephew of Anu Malik and the son of musician Daboo Malik. He is the sibling of the musician Amaal Mallik.
“I even filed an audition at the age of nine for the well-known Indian singing competition “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs” using only my first name, Armaan. I finished in the top 10 in the competition. I simply did this because I secretly wanted to know that I could choose my own path and not face discrimination because of my famous musical family “Added he.
The hitmaker for “Bol do na zara” added, “The road after the reality program was exciting. I began singing for numerous commercial jingles and voice-overs for well-known brands in various Indian languages. I met some incredibly amazing composers and music producers during this process, and they eventually gave me my Bollywood playback breaks in movies like “Bhootnath” and “Taare Zameen Par” (as a kid singer).”
