Amit Trivedi appears to be having a lot of fun, and here`s why this fact isn`t to be taken lightly. Sure, Trivedi isn`t one to disappoint with his compositions, but there`s something magical that follows those phases when his interactions with fans and media are markedly playful. Speaking about his upcoming album, Azaad Collab, Trivedi appears delighted and nervous in equal measure. With a bevy of popular faces putting their might behind the project, he admits to having his hopes pinned on this pop album that presents the "music icons of India" in new light. Fans of Trivedi will agree that his four-year-old label, AT Azaad, is a goldmine of music that is both innovative and appealing. Evidently then, this latest 14-track offering is being welcomed with open arms. In this interview, he discusses the response to the first song, Jubin Nautiyal and Hansika Pareek`s Rangeeni, and crafting an entrepreneurial journey as an artiste.
