Armenian audience knows almost nothing about you, where do you come from?

My roots go back to Western Armenia, from where as a result of the Armenian Genocide in 1915 they spread and arrived in Akhaltskha, Batumi, and Sochi, where I was born.

When did you start your career?

I dealt with music at a very young age with my brother Hakop, who is a celebrity musician by the way. Since 1996, I have participated in lots of contests and I have lots of rewards.

Have you ever been to Armenia?

Unfortunately I have only been once during my childhood, but I hope to visit one day my historic homeland in the near future.

Do you speak Armenian?

It is difficult to speak but I understand well. Anyway I do have Armenian songs in my repertoire, which are likely to be ‘call of blood.’

In addition I prefer clever and wise, as well as beautiful and feminine girls, regardless their nationality.
