Amit Trivedi is one of the leading musicians in the music industry of Bollywood today and his name is enough to remind one and all, of every melodious song he has sung till date. His career started with the push of his dear friend, none other than the writer and director Anurag Kashyap. Within only five years of his introduction, he has redefined the music industry to be what it is today and we are totally in awe of the Udta Punjab singer!
From Iktara (from Wake Up Sid) to Pardesi (from Dev D) and from Meethi Boliyan (from Kai Po Che) to London Thumakda (from Queens), every single song he gave his voice to, clearly echoes in our hearts. He has made music so effortless and yet pristine in its own way, for audience to sway to and even find meaning in the melody.
The most interesting thing about him might just be his fluency in every genre and you can say that here’s where the speciality of Amit Trivedi lies! We simply cannot predict what to expect from his songs; Bhangra, Jazz, Rajasthani folk, electronic or the flavours of African folk music, you name it and he has done or can do it. All of Trivedi’s tracks have a fresh fusion kind of a element to them and it is this very refreshing notion that has garnered him millions of fans.
For instance, Aafaton Ke Parindey is based on a dub-step influenced rhythmic beat, at155 beats per minute, and if that’s not wow right there then what else could be! These kind of new expeditions clearly give us goose bumps and we definitely crave for more. Apart from his fusion skills, his contemporary skills also never fail to amaze and surprise us.
