www.myspace.com/armenatthebazaar armenatthebazaar@gmail.com While his voice was initially shaped in the traditional, hymnal setting of the Toronto Children’s Chorus, Armen Bazarian is anything but a choirboy. Invigorated by the timeless power of the human voice, Armen began exploring pop songcraft in his early teens, writing and recording countless acoustic demos. Through high school and university, he fronted rock, emo and orchestral-pop projects, and while the thrill of a band setting strengthened his confidence as a performer, he found that group dynamics ultimately obstructed his stalwart, singular vision. And thus, Armen at the Bazaar was born. Slowly, but forcefully Armen has vanquished the need for a band’s accompaniment; in the studio, by spending countless and sleepless nights honing lush orchestrations and tight arrangements; on stage, through a multi-channel loop pedal allowing him to be his own backing band rife with layered harmonies of choral chanting, soaring guitars and tribal percussion. While Armen at the Bazaar stands alone, both on the stage and in the studio, his music is anything but empty—his voice full of life and his sound full of colour.
