Career

In his younger days, an electronic musical instrument fascinated Trivedi, and he was slowly drawn towards music, mainly influenced by classical music. At 19–20, he began composing music.

In college days, I joined the band Om, which performed at local gigs, small shows, and live performances. They struck gold when Times Music took notice of one of their shows and offered to launch their album.

The album, however, did not fare well due to a lack of promotion. Eventually, Trivedi went on to compose for theatre (Hindi, English, and Gujarati plays), background music for television shows, programming for some Marathi films, live performances, dandiya shows, orchestras, etc.

He also had a brief stint composing advertisement jingles for brands such as McDonald\’s and Airtel. After sound engineer and Audio Garage Recording Studio owner Arvind Vishwakarma introduced Trivedi to Sony BMG, he began composing music for non-film albums.

As a part of his two-year contract, Trivedi composed some tracks for Abhijeet Sawant\’s Junoon and one song for Prashant Tamang\’s debut album. He arranged for many musicians, including Amartya Rahut, for the Marathi movie Uttarayan in 2004.

Film music eventually came his way when friend and playback singer Shilpa Rao suggested his name to film director Anurag Kashyap. The latter was in search of a new composer with a distinct vision for his next film.

After meeting Trivedi, Kashyap offered him the chance to compose the soundtrack to Dev.D. Although it was scheduled to be his debut, Dev. D ran into production delays and was shelved for some time. Dev. D\’s music has received critical acclaim.

Upon Kashyap\’s recommendation, Trivedi was roped in to score Raj Kumar Gupta\’s directorial debut, Aamir. Trivedi and Gupta worked on making the soundtrack fuse with the film narrative, resulting in an effort that garnered critical recognition.

By the end of 2008, Dev.D. was finally released. The soundtrack, released in December, consisted of 18 tracks of different genres. Trivedi dubbed the soundtrack the \”baap (father) of different genres.\”

He sang five songs on the soundtrack and wrote the lyrics for one (\”Aankh Micholi\”). He shot to fame with the unusual music of Dev. D, giving us many chart-busters like \”Emosanal Attyachar,\” \”Saali Khushi,\” \”O Pardesi,\” and many more.

He was conferred with both the R. D. Burman Award and the Best Background Score at the Filmfare Awards 2010 before receiving the National Film Award for Best Music Direction, the highest recognition for Indian composers. Trivedi wrote the score for the 2009 Hindi film Wake Up Sid, and one of his compositions, \”Iktaara,\” was also included in the soundtrack.

In 2009 itself, Trivedi was roped in by Anshu Sharma to compose the team anthem \”Game for More\” for Royal Challengers Bangalore, a team owned by liquor baron Vijay Mallya. Between scoring films, Trivedi also wrote the title track for the reality show Big Switch, which aired on UTV Bindaas.
