In times like these when creativity has taken a toll in the Bollywood Music Industry, composers like Amit Trivedi are hard to find. He is a pure representation of passion, dedication, innovation and creativity despite being lured by producers and labels into creating remixes.
His love for making music is greater than money, fame or quick success, so he does not believe in remixes or copying music that has already been done and dusted with.
He is like a whiff of fresh air in the otherwise mundane music scenario.
His rise to prominence came with Dev.D, but even his first film “Aamir” got him showered with a lot of love and respect. Dev. D became a hit particularly because of the songs. It was the first time in the history of Bollywood that the songs of a film helped it become a blockbuster hit.

How Amit Gets His Musical Inspirations In The Middle Of The Night?
Source: https://bit.ly/3fdIxSy
Amit Trivedi confesses that musical inspirations come to him even in the midnight around 3am, 4am and there are times when he’s just left clueless and is not able to create anything. There is no specific place or time for an idea or inspiration to come to mind.
A composer needs to get a good idea about the script of the film, the situation and all to create the best music.
Amit is not just a renowned Bollywood Music composer, but he has started working on his independent label called “ATAzaad” as well.
Did you know that before coming into the Bollywood world and getting noticed by Anurag Kashyap, he worked for a long time creating advertisement jingles?
His biggest inspiration is A.R Rahman, whom he considers to be the God of Music. As a child, he was very naughty and didn’t do well in school, so he literally got expelled from his history class for a year. Now, he feels that all his naughtiness has shifted towards his music.
