A biography for Amaal Mallikhasn’t been written yet.
“I will never do 20 remixes with no original in a year.”
“Honestly speaking, I am very hardcore when it comes to my music because at the end of the day the song that I am creating will remain forever.”
“I think every artist wants to create something, on their own, without any boundaries.”
“I never jump on to a song and say 'I will only sing it.' I am not too obsessed as a singer. I am happy being a composer.”
“I don't jump on to singing every song of mine because I feel that will make my music repetitive.”
“It was always my dream to do non-film music, where I'm the voice and face of my composition.”
“Since the start of my career I've been doing a lot of music for films. It was important for me to focus on only that for some time, till I have a name that people can bank on, trust and support.”
“I had sittings with Akshay Kumar during 'Airlift.' People who are passionate about music get involved in the making of the songs. I used to have a good interaction with him.”
“Since Bollywood is getting more corporate, it is getting difficult for the composer alone to take a decision unless you are a big name like Pritam or Vishal-Shekhar who can speak his heart out and say that 'This is the singer I want for this song.'”
“'Aashiq...' is my tribute to the '90s David Dhawan-Govinda era.”
“I think I have the capability to make music different from what I have already released. There are ghazals and other songs that I can create. There is no stopping me though.”
“I listen to a lot of music from outside, lot of background scores.”
“I don't have to rope in Armaan for every song just because he is my brother. There have been times when I have replaced him with another singer. We don't have a war over it at home.”
“I am someone who likes to take my time. I do one album in three years, unlike others.”
“Indie music is picking up and artistes are more confident about putting out music with no big name attached to it.”
“My father's failures inspired me the most and still drive me. He worked for 10 years, but wasn't invited to award functions, forget being nominated. So winning even one trophy is a high for our family.”
“Unluckily actors don't get much free time, they are demanded every time and everywhere.”
“Many composers are asked to come up with three great songs in ten days... But it's rare for us to pull that off. You cannot force the brain to make a great song and I'm very scared of doing bad work.”
“I just look to make great music and garner the love the people have always been kind enough to give me.”
“Sonakshi Sinha's single 'Aaj mood ishqholic hai' is the worst auto-tuned song sung by an actor.”
