THE CURIOUS CASE OF MUSIC

CURIOSITY HAS BEEN the guiding light for singer-songwriter Amira Gill. It's what pushed her to explore different languages, traditions, andgenres.

“Anything big or small and the direction that light has taken in my music has been by following my curiosity,” she says reflecting on her musical journey. That spirit of seeking has carried her from her teenage years in Delhi's indie circuit to the global stage, and most recently, into Bollywood’s heart with her groovy new track Badli Si Hawa Hai in The Ba***ds of Bollywood, composed by Anirudh Ravichander and co-sung by Arijit Singh.

Amira adds that when she first heard the song, she knew it would make waves. “I had that sort of sixth sense about this piece of music,” she says, laughing. “I couldn’t get it out of my own head when I recorded it. And when I sang it for my friends, they couldn't wait to listen again.”
