Early Life and Musical Beginnings

Amit Trivedi was born in Bandra, a part of Mumbai. When he was growing up, his main connection to music was through devotional songs and Gujarati folk music. His family is originally from Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

In his college days, Amit became fascinated by electronic musical instruments. He formed a band called Om the Fusion Band with his friends. They played at local events and small shows. A music company called Times Music noticed them and offered to release their album. However, the album did not become very popular because it wasn't promoted much.

After this, Amit Trivedi started composing music for many different things. He wrote music for Hindi, English, and Gujarati plays. He also created background music for TV shows and worked on some Marathi films. He performed live and composed for dandiya shows. For a short time, he also wrote music for advertisements for big brands like McDonald's and Airtel.

Journey into Film Music

Amit Trivedi got his start in film music thanks to a friend, singer Shilpa Rao. She suggested his name to director Anurag Kashyap, who was looking for a new composer. Anurag Kashyap was impressed and offered Amit the chance to create the music for his film Dev.D. This movie was supposed to be Amit's first film project, but it faced delays.

Because of Anurag Kashyap's recommendation, Amit Trivedi was then asked to compose for Raj Kumar Gupta's film Aamir. Amit and Gupta worked closely to make sure the music fit perfectly with the movie's story. This work received a lot of praise from critics.

By the end of 2008, Dev.D was finally released. The soundtrack, which came out in December, had 18 songs from many different music styles. Amit Trivedi called it the "father of different genres." He sang five songs on the soundtrack himself. He also wrote the lyrics for one song called "Aankh Micholi." He became famous for the unique music of Dev.D, with popular songs like "Emosanal Attyachar" and "Nayan Tarse."

Amit Trivedi received important awards for his work on Dev.D. He won the Filmfare RD Burman Award for New Music Talent and the Filmfare Award for Best Background Score. He also received the National Film Award for Best Music Direction, which is a very high honor for Indian composers.

In 2009, Amit Trivedi also composed the background music for Wake Up Sid. One of his songs, "Iktara", was also part of that movie's soundtrack. He also created the team anthem "Game for More" for the Royal Challengers Bangalore cricket team.

Amit Trivedi continued to compose for many successful films. These include Aisha (2010), Ishaqzaade (2012), and Lootera (2013). His work on these films earned him more nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director.
