I was born and raised in Yerevan, Armenia – where my life’s journey began. I grew up always surrounded by artists of all sorts and I was raised in the building that is the Union of Composers and Musicologists of Armenia. Opera vocals and musical instruments such as the organ could always be heard from my balcony, while watching the sunset with the spectacular view of Mount Ararat. The love of music and art in all its forms was instilled in me since my youth. So I became a songwriter-singer, and recorded my first song titled “Sober,” which was produced and recorded both in Armenia and Canada. Growing up in Armenia, I took ballet lessons at the Opera and Ballet Theatre of Armenia and piano lessons at the Sayat Nova music school. Shortly thereafter, my family and I moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA for one year and then returned to Armenia. In 1999, my family and I moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada and we became Canadian. Canada has now been my home for over two decades. Here in Canada, after graduating from high school, I pursued a career and a higher education in modern languages, linguistics, political science, translation, and teaching. Travelling is one of my greatest passions…
