A piece of I Don't Wanna Be Gavin Degraw for soundcheck

Born and raised in Ethiopia with Armenian origins.
My interest in music started very early on when I used to attend rehearsals of my uncle and aunt's band, the Sevan Band. Been dancing since I was 2 years old. Enjoyed singing in the school choir and also took classical piano lessons as a hobby. In high school started choreographing for dance shows, Latin, hip hop, and more contemporary styles both for group and solo routines. 
Attended University of British Columbia in Vancouver Canada had the chance to join the UBC Dance Club where I was trained professionally as an International Style Latin American ballroom dancer. Started salsa dancing socially in Canada also. 2005 moved back to Ethiopia and started teaching salsa classes, continued show dancing, as well as teaching Latin American Ballroom dancing around town, co-creator of the Salsegnochu Dance Group and danced with and choreographed for the group for 3 years.

August of 2010 started working in music full time. Started performing with the band Z Beyaynetus with Bitik Emlaelu's encouragement. I have just finished my album with Kenny Allen,  performer and producer from DC currently in Ethiopia. 
I currently am a performance artist/vocalist with Z Beyaynetus Band, the 251 band and Eshee Havana (salsa band) and Zemen Band.
I have worked with Zeritu Kebede with Zemen Band and the Nubian Arc (both very well known and established musical groups in Ethiopia) and currently work with Tsedenya Gebremarkos.
