Amaal Malik

This 26-year-old composer has peculiar traits. He is at his creative best as the world sleeps. Or when he is behind the wheels. An emotion-filled voice matters to him more than getting the scale right. He is among a handful of music directors, who is comfortable admitting to the use of auto-tuning in making music. With several uptempo dance
numbers and romantic hits to his credit, Amaal Malik has had top names — from ace singers Sonu Nigam and Arijit Singh to stars Salman Khan and Shraddha Kapoor — sing for him.
