“I think the work process' - composers do not get enough time to make a good song. That's the one thing which needs to be changed.”
“My songs are my babies and I am protective about them, especially 'Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon' since I dedicated it to my grandfather.”
“The source is always me, but when the inspiration is an amazing idea or entity, it gives the process of music making a very beautiful route to proceed on.”
“The remake of 'Gulaabi Aankhein' went into a bad spin and I'll only hold myself responsible for it. I shouldn't have done it.”
“If 200 songs are coming every year, there should be a ratio that at least 150-180 songs should be original.”
“I have slowly paced myself in movies, and I am pretty happy with what I have done there.”
“I've had friendships and relationships in the past where things weren't working out for either of us, but I still found it really hard to let go.”
“I would love to collaborate with Hariharan Sir.”
“Every time I do a dance track it's like I'll get a heart attack, because it depends heavily on the video, the hook line, the stars and the promotion. Any of these factors fail, the song fails.”
“My childhood friend, Shiva Maheshwari, who is also an executive producer of 'Jung,' introduced me to Young Zwann. I loved his vibe and instantly fell in love with his lyrics.”
“I will always look to approach every project like it's my first.”
“For people, we were never Dabboo Malik's kids, we were always Anu Malik's nephews.”
“It's not happened overnight for me or my brother as well. Maybe, it's even a bit tougher for people who have a name.”
“Armaan has a simple approach and understands what a composer wants. I tell him, 'Give the song your own vibe but I will still come and fight with you and change it.'”
“I do not have a problem with remixes but original songs are not being included in an album, this is sad.”
“Unfortunately, we have very few female composers in our country, but Sneha Khanwalkar, Alokananda Dasgupta, and Jasleen Royal are forces to reckon with.”
“Things in the industry get too competitive. In that pressure, you tend to lose yourself. So, it's important to have someone to turn to and vent out.”
“I have been hearing from people that everyone is loving my music, which is a great feeling. To be honest, it's overwhelming... The female following on Twitter is insane.”
“I hear singers on a daily basis and there are some who really end up touching your heart.”
“Kailash Surendranath believed in me and my talent when I was just 19, and he gave me my first big commercial and thereafter worked with me on 25 jingles which really made people notice my work in the ad world.”
