ABOUT GUY MANOUKIAN
www.guymanoukian.com
Guy Manoukian is a passionate composer filled with musical talent… a talent that was fostered by his American and Armenian teachers who were his inspiration from the tender age of four. At the age of seven, guy won a Yamaha Pianica, and ever since Yamaha pianos have been his instrument of choice. In fact, he is the first artist from the Middle East to be endorsed by Yamaha.

Encouraged by his parents to pursue an alternative career path at the same time as his music, Guy studied law but the turning point in his career came when he started fusing Arabic and Armenian tunes with modern contemporary arrangements. He recorded “On Tour” with a diverse range of artists such as Wyclef Jean, 50 Cent and Mario Reyes from the Gypsy Kings and last summer had his first performance at the International Beiteddine Festival.

Guy has received many awards for his music, notably the Armenian Music Award that he received in Los Angeles for Best Dance Album, the Best Arabic Tune of the Year Award for Harem in Lebanon 2002 and the Best dance Album at the Arabia Music Awards in Dubai in 2003.
