Since her childhood, Mariam was growing in the atmosphere of love for music. Her grandmother played the piano brilliantly and sang romances. At the age of five, Mariam started learning at the Tchaikovsky Central Musical School (Yerevan, Armenia), then she continued her education in Moscow at the Gnesins School piano classes.

Then Mariam continued her education at the Moscow Conservatory school, but did not graduate from it as her fate made its own changes. Once Mariam was invited by her friends to the cultic Blue Bird club, the only jazz club in Moscow at the time. It was for the first time that Mariam heard music which was new to her and fell in love with that style’s freedom, improvisation, admirable harmony and rhythm. The decision was taken instantaneously and definitely: at the same day, Mariam withdrew her documents from the school.

A year later, Mariam entered the entertainment and jazz department of the Gnesins school. She chose the vocal department, which was unexpected even for herself. In 1996, Mariam graduated from the school.

One day Mariam received a unique proposition from producers to take part in a new project, We Will Rock You musical. Mariam was proposed as one of the leading roles, Killer Queen. The musical was written by the legendary Queen musicians, Brian May and Roger Taylor, in memory of Freddy Mercury, the band’s unforgettable singer. The musicians personally approved Mariam as Killer Queen in the first team. After the concert, Brian May said: "You have a unique voice with a distinct stage charisma. I’m glad that this role has been entrusted to you".

It is especially to be noted that Armen Merabov played the trombone in the early years of his career, and his transition from trombone to the piano was a complete surprise for everybody. Originally gifted with a unique musical feeling, Armen disclosed himself as a pianist with an unusual and unique thinking. It was as if three streams merged together: the listener, the wind player, and the piano player. Famous jazz-critic once said as he visited Armen's concert: “The whole concert through, I listened and tried to foresee what he would play next, but I didn’t manage. He is a very interesting player”. His growth was so fast that none of his folks never felt the transition...

Armen Merabov - the musical producer and the author of most compositions. Beside the fact that Mariam is the duet's irreplaceable voice, she also expressed herself as a lyrics writer.

They play different styles of music: from jazz & blues to funk & soul. Sometimes they mix these styles & they are happy with creation of somewhat new.

The oldest representative of the bi-bop style, saxophone player Richie Cole, after one of jam-session said about Armen and Mariam: “You have the main thing – the spirit of jazz!”

Mariam’s and Armen’s creative and conjugal unity adds a special feeling to the works and their sounding that won’t leave anybody untouched...
