Life and career

Early life

Shiroyan was born on 20 April 1993 in Yerevan, Armenia. When she was three years old, the family left Armenia and settled in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine. In Ukraine, she continued to study the Armenian language. Shiroyan began studying piano at age five, and began singing at age 13. From 2008 to 2010, she studied at the Dnipropetrovsk Medical Lyceum.[1][2] She later began attending Dnipropetrovsk National University, and graduated with a degree in psychology in 2015.

2014–present: The Voice of Ukraine and Depi Evratesil

In 2014, Shiroyan decided to take part in season four of The Voice of Ukraine, auditioning with the Polish song "Dziwny jest ten świat" by Czesław Niemen.[3][4] She joined the team of Ani Lorak, but was eliminated in the third round of the show.[5]

In 2016, Shiroyan decided to take part in Depi Evratesil 2017, Armenia's national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. After her audition, she chose to join the team of Iveta Mukuchyan.[6] She was eliminated from the competition in the fourth round. Her elimination caused outcry amongst viewers, who created an online petition to bring her back to the competition.[7] After the competition, Shiroyan performed her first Armenian concert in Yerevan.[8][9] She also went on to work with the music industry service provider The Famous Company later that year.[10] On 27 December 2017, it was confirmed that Shiroyan would return to Depi Evratesil in Depi Evratesil 2018.[11] Her song "You & I" was revealed on 17 January 2018.[12] She qualified from the second semi-final on 21 February, but placed fifth in the final on 25 February.[13][14]

gollark: It's pretty something, given that the terms of service, if I remember right, do ban client modifications, but don't ban alternative clients (only the developer docs do that).
gollark: I see. I suppose if you want that and don't mind having your running processes harvested.
gollark: Like what?
gollark: But why use the desktop version when you could just not do that?
