After voicing three songs for Salman Khan’s `Jai Ho’, Universal Music readies the release of his debut single Krazy Konnection featuring Salim Merchant. Universal Music India has announced the signing of upcoming teen music sensation, the eighteen year old Armaan Malik. The young singer has a trail of accomplishments to his name at a very early stage, having sung for a host of prominent musicians in the industry. Most recently he’s voiced three songs for Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in the film Jai Ho. Acknowledging this talent, the label has signed on Armaan for a 360 holistic deal which will cover his music albums, live shows and endorsements.

Armaan’s debut release on Universal Music India will be his single titled Krazy Konnection featuring Salim Merchant of the prolific Salim-Sulaiman duo. The single is an infectious up-tempo pop / dance track that features Salim Merchant who also appears in the video of the song. The single is scheduled for a 27th January`2014 release. His self-titled debut album is being readied for an early February release.

Speaking on his signing with Universal Music and his impending music release, the young Armaan said, “I’m very excited and honored to be signed on by a prestigious record label as Universal Music. It’s a dream come true as I await the release of my debut single “Krazy Konnection” with Salim Merchant and then my debut album! Music has always been a large part of my life and I’m very fortunate to be able to start a career doing something I love.”
