New York-based mellow-pop singer, songwriter and classically trained musician PYØR (Taronuhi “Taron” Khachyan) fell in love with music the second her fingers first touched a set of piano keys and held a pair of drumsticks at the ripe age of 6. Taking pure pieces of her soul and transforming them into audible masterpieces over the last 16 years, PYØR has been gearing up to take the music world by storm as not just an artist, but as a tastemaker. Known for her authentic, raw lyrics, infectious piano melodies and sharp vocals world-wide, PYØR has the ability to bend multiple genres into her own "pure" and versatile sound. She is currently in the studio working on her new record and getting ready for her upcoming concert which will take place at The Bowery Electric on November 21st, 2019.
The internationally recognized success of PYØR's debut single "Broke My Rules" landed the artist in Today's Top Hits, Fresh Finds, Good Vibes and more of Spotify's star-studded editorial playlists in 2018, along with snagging the #5 spot in Spotify UK's Viral Top 50 and the #1 spot in Vodafone's Big Top 40 back in 2016. The feel-good anthem accumulated over 7.2 million streams and solidified a loyal international fanbase. Having taken a break from touring and releasing music over the last 2 years to focus solely on songwriting, PYØR came back with her sophomore single and electro-pop lullaby which embraced the untold, raw stories behind love - "Forget to Remember" that has already accumulated over 150 thousand streams. Her latest single “Gentleman” which takes on a character of its own, narrated by PYØR’s raspy yet sharp signature vocal and its addictive piano melody and delicate rhythm, meanwhile, “Lucky” touched upon very vital issues of mental health and social anxiety with her velvety vocal delivery and piano performance.
