Birthday Boy Armaan Malik on keeping social media free of toxicity: I want to leave a positive footprint

One of the youngest and most influential pop kings in India, Armaan Malik, turns a year older today. The singer has always been vocal about changing the way Indian music is perceived globally and has been one of the first to shatter the glass ceiling around I-Pop. His latest release Echo, which was his first collaboration with a K-Pop artist Eric Nam and DJ Kshmr was much loved. That first step by Armaan Malik definitely opened new gateways for cross-border collaborations. As Armaan Malik turns a year wiser today, in an interview, he reflects upon the need to ensure his social media interactions and posts are filled with kindness and compassion.

Armaan Malik, who turns, 26 today, shared that he wants his social media to be a safe place for his fans and people to interact and share feelings without the fear of being judged. “Not everyone has access to therapists or psychiatrists who can help them. And then sometimes a few kind words by someone can change the whole mood, making one feel much less heavier. It leads to a chain of people being able to voice what they are feeling. I want to create that chain online. I want to leave a very positive footprint on my social media,” Armaan shared, in an interview with HT.

As a token of appreciation to his fans, he today released his merchandise, also becoming one of the first musicians in the country to do this. He is truly making sure to take the first step for many changes within the music space in the country.
