Why this name?
Armen is my real name
Do you play live?
Yes!!! one of my favorite things to do ever!!!! is to perform live
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it helps in a lot of ways. For artist like me who are still trying to gain fan base its more about getting your music heard and your name being recognized and the internet and sites like myspace or soundclick helps you with that.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes
Band History:
My path in life and music has exposed me to many diverse cultures and experiences. The eclectic original style created for this project is a direct result of my journey. My music is a methodical conversions of Hip Hop, R&B, Dancehall with a twist of Armenian, Arabic, Indian, Turkish and Greek. The mix of styles makes this project radio friendly on a global scale. I have been singing since the age of 3 and writing songs from the age of 11. I was born in Armenia & grew up listening to Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Donny Hathaway, Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Wu-Tang, NWA & Too Short. I come from a musical family, my father was the lead vocalist and guitarist for a very well known group in the late 70's and throughout the 80's in Armenia and throughout Russia. At the age of 4, I did my first live performance singing "I Just Called To Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder. The love and support from the large crowd struck deeply and set me on my path to music.
