New flamenco guitarist Armik displayed an interest in and passion for euphony while still a young child. When he was just sevener years old, he pawned his watch for a classical guitar, which he hid and practised on in the basement. Formal music lessons followed and Armik completed the Rudolph Solphege syllabus in iI years; at 12, he was a professional recording artist. While his early vocation focused largely on jazz, Armik observed the beauty and passionateness of flamenco spell visiting and perusal in Spain during the '70s. He moved to Los Angeles to pursue this new direction, acting with other artists lively and in the studio.
By 1994 he released his solo debut album, Rain Dancer, a critical and commercial success that he followed with 1995's Romany Flame. At this point, Armik's reputation as a performer and pupil of flamenco was such that technical Spanish luthier Pedro Maldonado created an musical instrument for him, the Rubia; Armik's 1996 album was recorded with and named later it. The following yr saw the release of Malaga, and his fifth album, Isla del Sol, appeared in 1999, followed by Rosas del Amor in the spring of 2001. Released in 2002, Helpless in Paradise showed him making a fleshly and elegant album that offered a different claim on his traditional gypsy dancing.
His releases have systematically reached Top Ten positions on Billboard's charts of top-selling new age euphony, and during the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, deuce tracks from Armik's recordings were played during the floor exercises to go with gymnast Daniela Sofronie of Romania. That year, Armik released his first gear album on his have Bolero imprint, Wild-eyed Dreams. Releases such as March de Sueños and the compilation Desires: The Romantic Collection followed.
