Hello Hayk! First of all, thank you for taking your time out for chatting with us. For the start, what can you tell us about your career so far?

I started to sing in 2007 and I won an award for my first single in “Voske Qnar Awards Show” as the new artist of the year. Therefore, I released my first album; Like a day… and got many concert offers in Australia, England, Iran, Russia etc…

I mainly sing pop and folk music.

Can you tell us more about the story behind “Enamorame” and the team behind it? And also, how did you decide to enter the competition with a song in Spanish?

Songs in Spanish are pretty popular lately all across the world. And since the writers; Rafael Artesero and Jose Rodriguez have a history of writing successful songs for Eurovision, I think our collaboration will be loved. 

Is the song dedicated to someone special that you want to fall in love with?

It is for everyone who tell each other make me fall in love with you and they fall in love. 

How are you planning your stage performance to be?

There will be a dance group which will make the performance even more entertaining. 

Why should you be the one to win and represent Armenia in Lisbon?

Because I believe the song is very successful and the hard work of our group will pay off. 

Who or what inspires you normally?

I get inspired by life itself, by art, every little thing can be inspirational to an artist.

What do you normally do when you are not singing?

I do sports and I travel quite a lot.
