born, shant gabriel yeghizar avadis meeroian, in baghdad, iraq. on november 24th 1965.
grew up in the camp gallani, mainly armenians, since the the country was mostley muslim, we were
placed in a section of the city that were all orthodox armenian. my family immigrated from
armenia, durring the genocide (by the turks against armenians and the greek) of 1915. my family
began its journey to the west (america) in 1975 after my mothers passing. greece 1976 was the most
wonderfull of memories i hold, only 11 at the time, and seeing greece was an inspiration for many
thing to come in my life. from the history to the people and the land just magnificent. in april 20th 1977
we arrived in new york. the journey has come to its end my father had completed his promise
to take his 2 sons out of the middle east and bring them to a new life in the USA.
america has been my home and will be for a long time to come. music was allways a part of me
from when i was 5 or 6 thats when we aquaired a radio. there was music from iran, turky, armenian and arabic as well.
then there was "voice of america" oh my goodness i loved music. demis roussos was famous all around our regon. finding
his music in america, was hard but with a liitle effort i found many of his releases and got a hold of MAGIC
lp sounded diffrent excitingly diffrent. loved whatching PBS. death of a princes was intriging cosmos folowed
chariots of fire came out all the pieces of the puzzle came together vangelis was discovered.
i knew what i wanted to do, play music. my problem i cant read or write music but i liked to play
all kind of instrument. continues bellow. thank you. meero.
