Tigran Hamasyan is one of the artists bringing innovation to the world of jazz. What makes him special is that his music pays homage to his Armenian roots while daring to venture into unexplored musical territories. This blend of old and new, tradition and innovation, has established him as a prominent figure in contemporary jazz.
Born in Gyumri, Armenia, in 1987, Hamasyan’s prodigious talent emerged early, with the piano becoming his medium of expression from the tender age of three. His journey took a pivotal turn with his family’s move to the United States in 2003, a move that saw him perfect his craft and carve out a place for himself on the international music scene.
