The music industry will see Armaan Malik compete in a decade from now. With the release of his self-titled album in 2014, he made his singing debut. He also had the opportunity to perform playback singing with Jai Ho that same year. Salman Khan liked one of the artist’s tracks from his debut album and suggested it for his movie Jai Ho, the singer revealed. He approached the actor to ask for his opinion on the record along with his brother, composer Amaal Malik.
Armaan Malik is grateful to Salman Khan for giving him a chance to enter into the Bollywood music industry.
In Jai Ho, Armaan sang the song Tumko To Aana Hi Tha. He has previously performed the song Bum Bum Bole in Taare Zameen Par as a young performer in 2007. He has since performed songs in a variety of languages, including Telugu, English, Bengali, Kannada, Marathi, Tamil, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu, and Malayalam. In 2022, Armaan also worked on the song 2Step with English musician Ed Sheeran. But Salman’s selection of his song for Jai Ho was where it all began.
Armaan described how a casual contact with the actor resulted in a significant break in an interview with Humans of Bombay on his YouTube channel. “Salman bhai came to promote my album in 2014,” he recalled. It was Armaan, an album with the same name. Amaal and I only wanted to perform my CD for him when we went to meet him. “I’m going to come and launch it,” he declared.
We wanted her to hear it and possibly pass it along, he continued. Twitter and Instagram were both quite new at the time. We wanted her to lend any assistance she could. He declared that I will right away. Come to the album release party. He later took a song off of the album and used it in his movie Jai Ho. I made my Bollywood playback singing debut with this.
He previously explained to Hindustan Times why he wants to explore various musical genres besides just Bollywood songs. But there was a time when I wanted to use my music to express myself, he had said. I made the decision to leave immediately for Los Angeles, put everything else on hold, and simply concentrate on writing the music I wanted to write. Sometimes, a person’s conviction must originate from within. To know that you are making the best choices for you, you must have enough confidence in yourself. I took that action.
