If you have a dream, set your goals and go for it without any excuses. Believe in yourself and invest in your future.
It was September 2021 when I moved to Los Angeles from Armenia with my wife and two kids. This has been a very challenging season of life, but it has also been one of the most exciting times, and my unlimited passion for music has continued to inspire and motivate me.
Even though I have one of the best recording studios in Armenia, I was still missing the people I always wanted to collaborate with until I came to the US. Now a new chapter has begun, and the best is yet to come!
