Armaan Malik on Coldplay, Maroon 5's shows getting sold out: Because of it, Indian acts are becoming bigger
Hindustan TimesArmaan Malik has received a nomination at the MTV Europe Music Awards for his song Always with British singer Calum Scott in the Best India Act category, marking his third nomination overall at the EMAs. Being just a playback singer was very restrictive but as an independent artist, someone who's waving the flag of I-pop in India and across the globe, I think I've been able to have the freedom to shape my music, and shape my own sound and artistry.” Speaking about his collaboration with Calum on Always, Armaan insists that “it felt natural right from the start”. With artistes like Diljit Dosanjh getting international recognition and sold out shows across the world, Armaan believes it’s a “beautiful time for Indian artists”. The level of love and excitement that fans and listeners have for the Indian artistes now and the desire to see their music live, it's incredible.” The singer also talks about India becoming a sought-after destination for international artistes like Coldplay, Maroon 5 and more, who have upcoming shows in the country.
