Tamar’s grandfather, Zhirayr Kaprelian, was born in Kharberd, and her grandmother – in Mousel. Tamar’s true love of music came about when she discovered Billy Joel and Paul McCartney. Tamar started composing songs at the age of 14, without mastering any musical instrument. Already at the age of 17 she began to play the piano, which enabled her to record the melodies and songs she composed by means of a small recorder. In 2008 March she won an Interscope Record contest with her cover of One Republic's hit single, "Apologize".
