Zareh
Matevosyan, whom the Armenians have by far distinguished
as a beloved singer and songwriter, was born in
the city of Hrazdan, Armenia, on August 10, 1973.
At an early age, as Zareh was approaching grade
school he discovered his gift of music. Listening
to his sister play the accordion he was able to
transform the same tune more harmoniously on the
accordion without the need of basic music.
Zareh moved to the city of Abovyan at the age of
10 where he began studying the standards of music.
He always had great passion for learning to play
the guitar. During his course of study in music
he fulfilled his passion. Playing the guitar, Zareh
was able to express his creative inner world. From
this point on the guitar became his inseparable
love.
In
1991, Zareh and his family moved to the United States.
He continued his music career in America. Being
far from his homeland, Zareh kept recalling innocent
childhood memories. Longing for the past enlightened
his creative talent in music and poetry. Along the
years his musical talent and creativity flourished
which later, in 1996, lead to the release of his
first album titled “Tears of Love.”
This marked the beginning of his professional singing
career.
Zareh has created over 30 songs, some of which have
been sung by famous artists in Armenia and have
proven to be a great success in the Armenian music
industry. His latest album “Ten Songs Written
in the Midst of Nights,” released in 2005,
was a dramatic success and fondly accepted by his
audience. This album includes the hit song “Hello
guys” a duet sung with Ashot Ghazarian which
had a tremendous impact on Zareh’s career.
Zareh is now in the process of recording a new album
in which his songs will be presented by famous Armenian
artists. Many songs from the upcoming album are
already being presented on Armenian television networks
in Armenia and over seas.
Along with writing and composing music Zareh is
also active in other fields of pastime. Although
this was a short biography, it sums up Zareh’s
success in his career and his endless passion for
music and poetry.
Above
all, his main priority is his family. Zareh is married
and has a daughter. He is a devoted husband and
a father. |
