YEREVAN, ARMENIA - Essaï Altounian is the first member of the
band representing Armenia in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest to
be announced. The well-known French-Armenian singer will represent
the continent Europe in the project. Armenian Public TV Company has
announced earlier that Genealogy will be uniting the new generation of
Armenians spread through 5 continents (Europe, Asia, America, Africa,
and Australia) around the world in the year of 1915. The group consists
of 6 artists with Armenian origin - 6 destinies with 1 story
INFORMATION ABOUT ESSAÏ
Essaï Altounian is of Armenian origin but has lived and debuted in
France, where his grandparents had escaped in 1915. About that, he
recently wrote and produced a song called Je n'oublie pas / ChemMorana.
At the age of 12 Essaï composed his first song and at the age of 19
signed a contract with Sony France as lead singer of the urban and
pop idol group "Ideal-3", with whom he scored a top ten hit with
Pardonne-moi.
When Essai was 21 he left the band and signed a solo contract with
Mercury Universal. He cooperated with Jenifer and composed songs for
her album, which eventually received the Diamond Plaque award. He
played the role of Count Paris in Gerard Presgurvic's musical comedy
Romeo and Juliet, the album of which sold 2 million copies. The
musical comedy Le Roi Soleil for Warner Music France, for which he
wrote S'aimer est interdit, went double Platinum with over 3 million
tickets sold during the three years of its run.
Taking a big leap across the Atlantic to the United States, Essaï
reached out to Kerry Gordy from Motown music. The first single produced
with him, Family, has been an up-tempo, urban song that pays homage
to the sanctity of those who are closest to you. His new album will
be released in the beginning of 2016.
