SERJ TANKIAN

As the lead singer and songwriter for System Of A DownSERJ TANKIAN has released five studio albums, winning a GRAMMY© Award in 2006 for “B.Y.O.B.” he’s performed for millions of fans and sold more than 42 million albums worldwideSerj is also a solo artist, composer, activist, painter, poet, and filmmakerTANKIAN was introduced to the melding of cultures, ideas, and ideals from a very young age. An Armenian born in Lebanon and raised in Los Angeles, the principles learned from this integration have led to his understanding of the oneness of all things and have since maneuvered and transfigured into the music and art that he lives to create.

Last fall, SERJ TANKIAN released FOUNDATIONS, his EP of new music, worldwide on Gibson Records HERE to some of the strongest critical acclaim of his career.  FOUNDATIONSTANKIAN says is, “A retrospective of songs from different eras of my life, meant to complement the memoir,” and capped an incredibly prolific year for TANKIAN, from the release of his memoir the New York Times bestseller Down with the Systemto the massive, sold-out System of a Down headlining show at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco with over 50,000 fans. But even as he is now revealing his “foundations,” TANKIAN is already looking ahead. “The next record will likely be a record of covers, collaborations and collages,” he envisions. Credit his restless, ever-curious creative spirit. “I’m always moving in different directions,” TANKIAN says. “Repetition is boring, and the death of art.”

TANKIAN will perform with System Of A Down for a sold out South American tour launching April 24 in Bogota, Columbia, and will kick off a series of North American shows in August 2025 with special guests Korn, Deftones, Avenged Sevenfold and Polyphia. For all System Of A Down tour dates, visit: https://www.systemofadown.com/#tour.
