Interview to Aram Mp3 - Armenia representative for ESC 2014

Aram Mp3: ''...the artist should be sincere with the audience''

OGAE RoW Latin America: Hello Aram Mp3, we really appreciate these minutes of your time to answer our questions for the Latin American followers of Eurovision. First, congratulations on being the representative of Armenia in Copenhagen, many of our readers love this decision and look forward to check your entry for next may.

For all the ''latino eurofans'' tell us :

OGAE R.O.L.A. • How do you define yourself as a performer and what you can, offer in Copenhagen?

Aram: Music is my passion and I can remember myself singing since I was a little kid, I love stage and everything that is connected with shows and performances, whatever songs I sing they go from my heart and it is crucial to be sincere and open-hearted for an artist, I think. 

Each song that I sing has something to say to the listener, to add something to the audience’s life. My song for Copenhagen will deliver the message which is very important to me and I hope European fans will share the idea that no one should feel alone in this world. 

OGAE R.O.L.A. • What inspired you to take the challenge of representing an entire country at Eurovision? 

Aram: My candidacy for representing Armenia in Eurovision 2014 was approved as a result of internal selection done by Public Armenian television. This year is the 8th time Armenia is joining this multicultural song contest and I feel very much honored to be part of it.

OGAE R.O.L.A. • Many of our readers were delighted with your selection as the representative of Armenia, what can you tell us about the song?

Aram: The genre of my song is a ballade, it is about love relationships, human behavior and emotions, all those strings are connecting people all over the world. 

The main idea I want to share with the audience is that all the people in the world are not alone in their emotions and feelings, and about the development of the song, I can say that the melody for the song is composed by me and my colleague and good friend Garik Papoyan wrote the lyrics; a very professional instrumental arrangement was done by Lilit Navasardyan. 

OGAE R.O.L.A.• Over the years, Eurovision has become more important on the Latino audience, did you know that? What do you think of it?

Aram: Eurovision is becoming more and more important in terms of connecting cultures and artists. I think this is an amazing chance to meet people from different cultural backgrounds, professional experience and views, no matter where you live and what your preferences are, music connects us all during this song contest. 

I think that the message of this year’s Eurovision #joinus expresses the main idea: so many different countries, different genres of music, talented artists of different styles join the party and come together to share their art with European music lovers,all of us are joining a huge musical community and that is so cool!

OGAE R.O.L.A.• The presentation of your song has created big expectations in many Hispanic fans, knowing this, would you like to include our continent in future promotional tours?

Aram: Oh, I would love to, but unfortunately there are so many plans to do in such a short time! We have already planned our tour through European capitals. You can follow my official facebook page to stay updated on the venues and dates of my concerts, where we can meet, dance and sing together!

OGAE R.O.L.A.• What does Armenia have to be the host in 2015 of the 60th edition of the festival?

Aram: Armenia is famous in the world for being a hospitable country with open-hearted people, I am sure our nation will be glad to host such multicultural contest in sunny capital Yerevan. 

It is a huge responsibility for me to represent my country as best as I can and to continue Armenian traditions of getting high scores in Eurovision.

OGAE R.O.L.A.• What do you think should be the ingredients of a performer and song to win the contest?

Aram: The song should touch peoples’ heart, so that they want to vote for it and the artist should be sincere with the audience to ensure direct communication with people.

OGAE R.O.L.A. • Once again thank you very much for allowing us to talk to you and learn more from your participation in Eurovision, we wish you all the success and hope to see in the final in Copenhagen. Please, send our followers and supporters of the festival in Latin America a final message.

Aram: Thank you very much! I appreciate all the positive feedback I receive, that makes me feel that I am not alone in my musical preferences. Follow me on FB and Twitter to chat a little bit and exchange views.

I wish your readers and followers to have new discoveries at Eurovision 2014.
