MUMBAI —
Singer-songwriter Armaan Malik, who is set to open for the global music icon Ed
Sheeran in Hyderabad, has said that for him collaboration means creative
chemistry.
Ed Sheeran will be performing for the first time in
Hyderabad. Adding to the excitement, Indian pop sensation Armaan Malik will be
opening for Ed as a special act, marking their second collaboration after their
memorable performance in Mumbai.
Armaan is known for chartbusters like ‘You’, ‘Control’, and
‘Butta Bomma’, and has been at the forefront of taking Indian music to a global
audience. His ability to blend Indian and international sounds has earned him
recognition worldwide.
Talking about his approach to collaborations, Armaan shared,
“I love collaborating with like-minded artists who share the same kind of
energy as me, and after our ‘2 Step’ remix in 2022, and sharing the stage with
Ed Sheeran last year, I had to bring a special set to open for his show tonight
in Hyderabad, a city that’s always given me so much love. It’s an absolute
honour and I can’t wait to step on that stage and share this unforgettable
night with everyone”.
The two artists previously collaborated on ‘2Step’, a
special Indian remix of Ed Sheeran’s hit track, which highlighted their
seamless musical synergy. Now, with Armaan setting the stage for Ed Sheeran in
Hyderabad, fans can expect an electrifying evening filled with incredible
music, marking a milestone for India’s live concert scene.
Armaan had even stepped out for a fun dinner with Ed Sheeran
during his performance in Mumbai. The singers shook a leg on Armaan’s track
‘Butta Bomma’ from the Allu Arjun-starrer ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’. At the
time, Armaan took to his Instagram and shared a video of him dancing with Ed
Sheeran inside a Mumbai pub.
Earlier, Armaan surprised fans with his performances,
joining Lauv and Eric Nam at Lollapalooza India.
