Tatev

Tatev is an electric songster, a film composer and performer whose music and voice feel right at home in rock, jazz, soul, Armenian folk, classical and pop.
Tatev’s name means “Give Wings” in her native Armenian, which inspires her body of work that upholds the liberating prophecy of her name.

A multidisciplinary arts entrepreneur, film composer, translator and activist, Tatev was born in post-soviet Armenia on July 7th in 1987. She immigrated to America in 2003, where she received a full scholarship to NJPAC’s Jazz For Teens program, followed by her classical piano and voice at CCM and Jazz Studies Degrees at William Paterson University.

Her professional experience includes work at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, leading Song Writing and Recording workshops at TUMO in Yerevan and over twelve years of live performances throughout the U.S. and abroad.
She has collaborated with Grammy-nominated Arto Tunçboyacian , Tigran Hamasyan, Benito Gonzalez and many others.
Tatev is a OneBeat Colombia Music Ambassador and a YoungArts composer’s grant recipient whose vocal arrangement and performance for the “Sounds of Sevan” project in collaboration with Music of Armenia became the winner at the London International Motion Pictures Awards in 2019.

Tatev’s musical influences, belief in the universality of sound, inspirations from fables, languages, enlightened peoples and connections to Mother Nature weave a rich and genre-fluid career path.
