Amit Trivedi

Amit Trivedi is an Indian film composer based in Mumbai. This singer, lyricist and musician shot to fame in the Hindi film music scene for his critically acclaimed work in Aamir (2008) and the more popular Dev D (2009).

In his younger days, a electronic musical instrument fascinated Amit and he was slowly drawn towards music, mainly influenced by western music. At the age of 19-20, he started composing music. During his college days he became part of a band called Om, which was primarily a group of music lovers, and the band would perform at local gigs, small shows and live performances. They struck gold when Times Music took notice of them, at one of the shows, and offered to launch their album. The album, however, did not fare well, due to lack of proper promotions.

Eventually, Amit went on to compose for theater...
