Amrit Dasu���s debut single 'Dil Kya Kare' (Did I love you?) gives the classic Kishore Kumar number a pop spin with a hint of R&B. The young artiste grabbed eyeballs with his debut single that featured Mallika Sherawat. Speaking about it, Amrit says, ���It is a song about a person feeling used in a relationship. The verses of the songs are asking the question while the hook of the song are the answers.���

Reworking a well-known song is often a tough job and one always runs the risk of turning a classic into a disaster. Balance is necessary, the young artiste tells us. ���Before we pick an old song, we have to make sure it makes sense with our style of NY/ATL Hip Hop sound because it can become a mess if done the wrong way. But luckily in hip hop, Indian samples are very common.���

It is unsaid that the guy loves old Hindi film songs. ���I am a huge fan. I often see my parents singing along when they see songs playing on TV. It just shows how good music truly lives forever. I really enjoy listening to Arijit Singh at the moment. I want to work with him someday. But my inspiration comes from my everyday life, my relationships and the ups and downs that come with this industry.���

Amrit is music producer Rishi Rich���s blue-eyed boy, but for the young singer, he is a friend first and mentor later. ���He has helped me understand music a lot better. We have been working on an album together,��� he says. Unlike most who feel Bollywood music is their ultimate destination, Amrit���s focus is on creating music that appeals to him.

���I don���t want to limit myself. I want to put out albums to tell my life story. I would also love to make music for movies if they want my sound but I am choosy when it comes to songs in movies. I have to understand what the directors want before saying yes. But my main focus is my independent music,��� he concludes.
