The Armenian weekly reports that Hooshere Bezdikian, a Hollywood digital executive producer and independent artist seeking to break into the music scene, releases a new album. “My goal is to create a more accessible body of music for a wider range of music enthusiasts,” she says. Her new EP, “So Far Away,” features five original electronic/pop compositions with light rock beats.
Although the new release differs from her previous album, “Provenance,” which mostly contains traditional Armenian songs, it remains true to Hooshere’s distinctive trip-hop sound, combined with subtle Middle Eastern rhythms.
Hooshere expressed confidence that trying American music will not restrict her from continuing to make new Armenian music. “This departure from my first album was to push myself further as an artist,” she says. Her desire to explore her songwriting abilities was a challenge.
Born and bred in New Yorker, Hooshere was surrounded by art from an early age. In particular, her parents’ involvement with the New York Hamazgayin theater group exposed her to a life of singing, dancing, and acting. Yet, Hooshere didn’t have an intention to make that as a career, before she performed in front of a crowd of over 800 people.
According to our data initially, Hooshere performed at several clubs in New York, including the ultra-glitzy Canal Room and the Bitter End. The Armenian singer has since performed at a variety of venues.
“Nothing compares to the feeling I get while performing and connecting with audience members. The energy of an attentive crowd is incomparable, and to this day, I consider it one of the biggest rewards of being a musician,” she divulges.
The page informs that Hooshere has been recording new material for documentary films, and has a couple of performances lined up, including one in Detroit in December. “No matter what, I will always continue making music because despite my modest accomplishments, I still feel like I have barely scratched the surface of my potential.”
