I am a professional musician/guitarist with 9+ years of experience currently finishing my master's in Music Production at ICMP, London. I have worked in a jazz orchestra as well as played many gigs with different musicians and bands in different genres. Although I mostly prefer playing rock music, I am also interested in joining bands playing in different genres of music, where the creativity is a key.

In terms of the biggest venue I have ever played in was a jazz festival at "Karen Demirchyan Complex", the biggest concert hall in Armenia. But the most enjoyable was the recent Radiohead tribute concert we did at Babylon Theatre in Yerevan.
There are so many artists and genres of music that I have been influenced by. However, I can say that artists such as Radiohead, The Beatles, David Bowie, Bjork and Talking Heads are amongst the artists that mostly affected me as a musician.
Back in Armenia, where I am from, I met my first bandmates at a very small local jam session. We used to play a lot of well known rock songs and later some jazz tunes as well. Then I got to work in a jazz orchestra and played at many concerts and festivals in Armenia. I also used to play at pubs during my studies at the conservatory in Yerevan.
Although I generally find every event interesting in a different way, I really enjoy playing concerts, as people directly come to listen to the music with a greater attention, where the energy feels totally different.
I will perform as much as required when I'm joining a band.
Yes.
Depending on the event I can be flexible with the repertoire.
Enjoyable, unique and professional.
No, I am looking forward to joining a band as a guitarist.
As I am from Armenia, I mainly performed there. To name a few; "Karen Demirchyan Complex", "The Armenian Union of Architects", "Vallex Garden Hotel", pubs like "Ulikhanyan", "Bardak" and many others.
