Founded by Dilip Arora, All India Permit began as a cover band and has evolved into a vibrant collective making significant strides in the independent music scene. Dilip’s personal journey into music began at the tender age of 10, participating in various singing competitions that shaped his musical trajectory. With experience as a live sound engineer working for some of India’s biggest artists, such as Mohit Chauhan and Arijit Singh, Dilip took the leap to launch All India Permit, which has successfully performed over 1000 concerts since 2017, gracing stages at major music festivals like Rongali and the Delhi Music Festival, as well as prestigious institutions such as IIT and LSR.

Following the success of his debut single, “Ab Jayein Kahan,” released in 2023, Dilip is excited to share “Gustakhiyaan,” which showcases his versatility as a musician. He envisions a future filled with more releases and continuous artistic growth, expressing, “Music cannot be bound to any specific genre or category. I wish to keep experimenting and evolving while entertaining my audience with fresh and relatable sounds.”

In reflecting on the inspiration behind “Gustakhiyaan,” Dilip shared, “The feeling of unsaid emotions that we fail to express to our loved ones inspired us to write the song. I am sure each one of us goes through this in our day-to-day life. We want our listeners to live this feeling through our song.” He further elaborated on the essence of love captured in “Gustakhiyaan,” stating, “The lyrics of the song and the musical composition have those nuances that capture the true essence of ‘Gustakhiyaan.’ For instance, the lines ‘hoti hain har umr mein bachpan wali ladaiyaan’ have that cute wordplay that captures the soul of ‘Gustakhiyaan’ and the imperfections of love that live throughout our lives regardless of our age.”

As for the message behind the song, Dilip hopes listeners take away this sentiment: “It’s okay to not have a ‘perfect love.’ In fact, the very essence of true love is the ‘imperfections’ that each one of us has, and yet we choose to stay together. Our differences are what makes love beautiful.” Get ready for “Gustakhiyaan” — where love’s quirks inspire unforgettable melodies!
