A biography for Amit Trivedihasn’t been written yet.
“I love music, whoever makes it. Whoever makes great music in the entire world I am their fan because I love music so much. I am each and everybody's fan who is putting their music out there.”
“I play the keyboard, but I am fond of all wind instruments, the oboe in particular.”
“When I get out of the studio, I want to disconnect from music. I would rather spend time with my family or watch a movie. I cannot take any more music.”
“There are almost no takers for independent musicians in India.”
“I see a parallel industry for independent music blooming alongside film music.”
“I have seen both extremes; when there was no work, I was frustrated and now that I'm overworked, I feel the same. I'm looking for a balance now.”
“I sign up whatever live shows I get simply because every gig is a chance to reach out directly to the audience. When it comes to gigs, I try mixing personal picks with what the audience demands.”
“I love listening a lot and I listen to all sorts of songs, old and new. But the real inspiration has to come from within.”
“Indian classical music is charming and currently there are a wide range of musicians who bring great classical tunes to the Bollywood industry.”
“In films, you have to follow the director's vision. Filmmaking is a director's medium. So everything happens as per the script and his vision.”
“The reason I went ahead with making the music for 'Bombay Velvet' was because I loved the script.”
“I love everything about Delhi, mostly the fact that people here never fail to react to music.”
“I enjoy what I do. The only burden is the deadlines. Plus, composing background scores is a thankless job; it is not perceived as a significant thing.”
“To play on top of a bus is something we've never done before - we did play on the Red Bull Tour Bus once in Bangalore last year, but it's always a one of a kind of experience to jump on the bus and sing.”
“The only thing I cannot predict is the future”
“When I look back, I remember how being a part of Bollywood was never the plan.”
“When I am composing in a studio, I cannot gauge what the audience feels. Sometimes, good songs don't get the recognition because the films fail. But when you are performing live, the reaction is immediate.”
“My music is born from instinct. I react to situations a script may provide while creating a song.”
“Ever since I started, I think Bollywood has gone through a lot of changes. Film producers now want to experiment with their movie's music and that's why you see many of them working with independent musicians.”
“Most films don't have a budget for a background score, but it is the toughest job to do. We work like donkeys. And usually we get only around a month to do a score.”
