YEREVAN. - Belgian-Armenian R&B singer Karine Ohanian was in Armenia
on private visit. In an exclusive interview to Armenian News-NEWS.am
Ohanian, who has registered significant successes in career in the
recent year, talks about her career plans and programs. Joint video
premiere by Karine and Ron Caroll will be released in October, while
Karine's actress debut will come next year. She is going to star at a
European biographic thriller. The movie, telling about the most famous
Belgian gangster, claims to become a bestseller, while Karine will
star as the wife of the gangster. During her short visit to Armenia
the singer has received many offers of cooperation, in particular,
she is likely to cooperate with Con alma jazz band.
It is about ten years you were not in Armenia. Please tell us how
do you feel? What changes have you seen? Besides, although you made
a private visit, have you met the representatives of the local show
business?
I have very good impressions about Armenia, a lot has changed. People
have changed as well, they smile more. I visited Armenia to attend
a wedding. I have given several interviews. I was here just for ten
days and I have so much to do. But everything was very good and I
have to be back to Belgium today.
What news had you had in your career this year? I am aware that you
have signed new contracts, new producers will work with you. What
about that?
I was very positive and I felt like everything is going to be
very quick. But I visited the U.S. two months ago and signed a new
contract. I will release my new CD in October, which is created with
Ron Caroll
Do you write your songs?
Yes, I write the words and music. My producer is one of the best
producers of Belgium. In addition, I worked with various producers
in the U.S.
Will you describe your music?
I like ballads and slow songs, but the first three songs to come soon
are more of R&B and pop. I may say that my songs are more preferable
for radios and clubs.
We have several celebrity singers worldwide whose songs do contain
Armenian melodies. Is it the same with you?
I must say that there is an Armenian tune in my voice, it is
unwillingly inside me. I think about using Armenian words in my songs
for my fans to remember them easily.
What new offers have you received in the United States?
I met with Caroll, besides, lots of new people. As a matter of fact,
my next producer is quite famous but I will not open the secret yet.
Besides, your CDs and videos to be released in October, what other
projects do you have?
I am dealing with presenting various brands in Belgium. They especially
got active after knowing about my US contract. I am very glad that
they believe I may succeed. I am looking forward to my CD and see
how people accept it.
Prior to becoming a singer, you were very successful in fashion art,
in particular as a model. Have you stopped it?
No, I still work as a model, and I believe I will never stop it, as
generally actresses and singers after all become a face of a certain
brand. I will never stop dealing with fashion as I love it.
What brand do you cooperate with?
I cooperate with a brand dealing with diamond and jewelry industry,
which occupies a leading position in Belgium.
Do you still deal with organizational works, in particular organizing
contests for children?
I should have said that I stopped it about two years ago. I used to
organize the Miss Little Armenia and to find talented children rather
than defining a beautiful one.
Maybe it is a bit confidential but did you get offers for casting in
a movie in Hollywood?
I have big projects in Belgium. I cannot mention names, I am sorry.
But I will just say that I will cast in a Belgian movie about a famous
gangster. I will star as the gangster's wife, while my partner is
a famous actor, I will just say that he was a nominee for Cannes
Festival and Oscar. I guess it is a huge step for me.
When the movie premiere is scheduled for?
The book will be published on Sept 13, while the movie castings will
start in the midst of the next year. The movie will be in French and
I improve my language, as it is going to be my film debut.
