Top Ten With Tamar Kaprelian
I’m inspired by: Love, passion people & classic songwriting
I realized I wanted to play music when: I would hear my father play piano and guitar around the house when I was little. He introduced my ears to Billy Joel and Don Henley when I was two years old!
Four songs you might find on my iPod:
Just The Way You Are – Billy Joel
Hotel California – The Eagles
Like a G6 – Far East Movement
In My Life – The Beatles
One word I would use to describe myself: Passionate
The best part of being a musician is: Being able to write, create and perform the art that you love.
Right now, I’m most excited about: Promoting my album at the beginning of 2011! (oh, and being on tour with Far East Movement at the moment!)
Something most people don’t know about me is: That I was almost cast as the lead in Disney’s remake of The Parent Trap (the role Lindsey Lohan got)
One of my happiest moments was: The completion of my album ‘Sinner or a Saint’
My music is: Honest
In ten years, I see myself: Three records in, a household name, established writer for not only myself but for other artists as well. I see myself as a business woman, the starter of my own production company. I want to create an empire and be known for giving and doing good for other people.
Tamar Kaprelian’s debut album, Sinner or a Saint, is available on Amazon for $11.38.
