An Armenian-American singer-songwriter whose music blends folk influences with contemporary production.
For a quick sense of her range, try 'California' for the early breakout energy and 'Raw' for something more recent and direct. Both show how her Armenian heritage and piano background shape everything she does.
Kaprelian's breakout single 'California' became an anthem for Armenian diaspora communities, especially after her 2015 performance at a Genocide commemoration in Los Angeles. Her work with producers like Gary Noble and Justin Gray on albums such as 'Dark Matter' and 'Sinner Saint' shows a consistent evolution from piano-driven pop to more textured arrangements. Songs like 'Summer, Highland Falls' and 'Raw' demonstrate her ability to move between delicate balladry and more direct emotional territory.
She started with Armenian folk songs and classical piano training before releasing her debut album in 2006. The albums 'Dark Matter' in 2010 and 'Sinner Saint' in 2016 marked shifts toward more produced, collaborative work. Her music has appeared in films and television, and she's collaborated with artists ranging from Dave Eggar to Rick Astley.
