Armaan Malik’s latest collaboration with Korean pop star Eric Nam and EDM artiste DJ KSHMR could only be considered another stepping stone in his flourishing career in the  English music industry. In an interview, he discusses how the association came about.

What factors must an artiste consider when giving his nod to a collaboration?
Collaborations are a brilliant way for artistes to expand their creative palettes, explore new territories, challenge themselves, and learn something new. In order to get it right, it is important to be on the same page with your fellow associates, and respect each other’s opinions. A track isn’t an mp3 file. It is a culmination of the efforts of those who make it — mixing and mastering experts, video directors, social media managers, and other [technicians]. The toughest part is making sure that everybody’s creative inputs are incorporated, while maintaining the honesty of the track. The exciting part is merging everyone’s music styles in a way that makes the sound cohesive.
