Since his debut with ‘Tumko Toh Aana Hi Tha’ in the 2014 Salman Khan starrer Jai Ho, Armaan Malik has been a fixture on the Bollywood music scene and has had a hit almost every year. He has lent his voice for top films like Khoobsurat (2014), Kapoor & Sons (2016), M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016), October (2018) and Badla (2019).
“The driving force for me to keep going is the hunger I have for bigger dreams and aspirations immediately after I achieve something huge. I don’t get too happy with any accomplishment and I feel that’s a good way to keep the fire burning. I believe a lot in higher power and patience. Every time I ask myself the question ‘now what?’, the universe asks me to wait and be patient, it’s all going to happen,” the 24-year-old had said in an interview with us.
Looks like things did happen. Malik has become the first Indian singer-songwriter to be featured on the prestigious Spotify Times Square Billboard in New York City for his latest English debut ‘Control’. One of the select few Indian music artists to make such a significant impact, Malik has reached this milestone at just the age of 24. ‘Control’ also charted as the #1 track on iTunes in India.
“It’s a huge honour for an Indian artist to be on a Times Square billboard. I’ve always wanted to take India to the world with my music and this is like a dream come true, especially for my first English single. This wouldn’t have been possible without my amazing team, family, and my fans and their endless love and support,” Malik said, speaking about this achievement.
