Role: Performer

Tigran Martikyan

Before Tigran started studying piano in his native Armenia, he began to teach himself accordion when he was seven years old. He later took up cello, and was admitted to The Tigran Chukajian Music School, where he studied cello with Tiruhi Sargisian. After three years, he began to study piano as a secondary instrument under the guidance of Kathia Sahakian. He was soon honored with an unprecedented invitation to perform at the school's piano concert. By the time he graduated from the Chukajain School in 1988, Tigran had for many years, since the age of twelve, been playing accordion professionally all over Armenia. \

The Beautified Project

The Beautified project was formed in 2004 by Andre Simonian in London. Its music was designed to portray the dark side of human spirit, with a kind of melancholic and mellow sound that reminds us of musicians such as Dido, James Blunt and David Grey, but with kind of anger and despair in its lyrics and attitude that has more in common with the likes of Cold Play, Radiohead and even Metallica. \
