Biography

Srbuhi "Srbuk" Sargsyan is an Armenian pop/soul singer, recording artist and songwriter. She has been studying music since early childhood. Her career as a professional singer and performer began in 2012 after she was the runner-up in the inaugural season of the hit TV show “X Factor Armenia”. Shortly after the season came to an end, Srbuk began playing small shows locally and was able to assemble a band to play with her. Focusing mainly on covers of American songbook standards, jazz, soul, R&B, and contemporary pop, Srbuk and her band quickly developed a strong following and subsequently drew an increased demand for booking, not only throughout Yerevan, but throughout Armenia as well. During that time, Srbuk began developing her own unique artistic style, drawing from her influences which encompassed a wide range of musical styles and heroes. Her influences range from legendary and classic vocalists such as Aretha Franklin, Etta James, and Ella Fitzgerald, to the soul and R&B influences of artists and performers such as Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and Michael Jackson. All of these influences and experiences have culminated into her debut single as a solo artist entitled Yete Karogh Es which she not only performed but also co-wrote with Lazzaro. Much like her artistic identity, the song presents itself as a healthy mixture of the nostalgic memories of yesteryear combined with a fresh new approach of storytelling and performance.
