Anoush On the Making Of ‘ONE’
What was the creative process like for this particular 'ONE?'
The creative process was all-consuming. Music came to me in every situation and I was writing faster than I could record & produce, so it was nice to capture some of it and turn it into an album.
What was the initial spark or idea that led to the creation of 'ONE?'
Something awakened in me during the Covid lockdowns and that’s when the music really took off. Once I started writing, I was hit with a tidal wave of inspiration. The floodgates were open and the ideas kept coming.
Which song do you like the best and why?
My favorite song is “I SEE YOU,” because it’s the most fun to play on the piano.
Can you share a bit about your musical background and the journey that led you to where you are today?
I grew up in an Armenian/ American household and was always exposed to many different cultures and genres of music. My classical training started when I was a toddler, but I am still learning and playing. I love how music offers a bridge between language barriers and connects people. That's a beautiful thing.
How has your music evolved since you started as a singer-songwriter? What have been some key milestones in your artistic journey?
When I first started writing, the music that came through was more folksy and meant to be played on an acoustic guitar, but I don’t play the guitar, so I had to figure out how to create the sound I wanted on piano. It took a lot of experimentation to come up with the sound I’m playing with now, but it worked out for the best because this is the music my lyrics needed.
My biggest milestone was gaining over 100k new listeners on Spotify after releasing music for the first time in April, starting with "Cherry on Top."
