“Live performances are exhilarating, especially when performing for a y...” — Amit Trivedi Quote

Live performances are exhilarating, especially when performing for a young crowd.

I go deep into the script and speak the language of the film, musically.

The amount of exposure you get in India as a musician in Bollywood is so much better than what one gets independently.

I play the keyboard, but I am fond of all wind instruments, the oboe in particular.

But a lot of people think I am very expensive and I charge a lot of money, which is not the case. I am open to all kinds of experimentation and work. So, people should just approach without hesitating or thinking about money!

I like playing on the road and quieting the crowd. I love it.

You're playing for yourself. And if you're not playing for yourself, you're an entertainer, doing it for the crowd.

It's hard to mix with a crowd when you're walking down the hallway and everybody else is a foot shorter. I remember hanging out with my friends, like at the mall, and thinking people were staring at me and talking about me. It made me turn inside myself. I became more shy and quiet.

When I'm makin' lectures to these universities, I tell 'em I like that little building because when I run short a audience, if I can get three people in there I've got a good crowd.
