Sirusho (born on January 7, 1987), is an Armenian singer. She began her music career singing live in Canada, in theArmenian diaspora music scene. At the age of nine she received an Armenian Music Award for her song "Lusabats". Her first studio album, Sirusho, was released in 2000, and it’s followed-up Sheram in 2005. In the same year, she was awarded The Future of Armenian Music, Best Album and Best Female Performer awards in the first Armenian National Music Awards. In 2008, the BBC described her success as making her a "national treasure" in Armenia and its news service has gone on to report that she is popular in both Armenia and the Armenian diaspora.
Sirusho reached international recognition after becoming the Armenian representative for the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest held in Belgrade. She co-wrote and performed the song "Qélé, Qélé", with the Armenian hook and music composed and produced by H.A. Der-Hovagimian. It became well known in Greek-speaking areas, especially the 'Yerevan Remix' in Greek clubs, and was frequently played on London Greek Radio in the United Kingdom, and in an episode of the Greek and Cyprus X Factor television series. Sirusho also sings in the Greek language and, in April 2009, released her first Greek single "Erotas" in Armenia, Greece and Cyprus. Her folk-influenced single "PreGomesh" was released in December 2012. In 2015 Sirusho performed a new song "Kga Mi Or", “Where Were You" that is dedicated to 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
Where Were You
I stand alone
I feel the air caressing through the lonely trees
And there's no peace 
I stand alone
Within the blackness when the world is fast asleep and the violence had ceased.


Where were you when my life was stolen
Where were you when my home was burning in fire
Tragedy so underestimated
How could we 
Let ourselves live in a world of denial


The broken dreams that we left as we fled from our soil
Why is there so many now dead are we no longer loyal
How can we feel safe now, where do we begin now
When the world around us doesn’t seem to care.

My shoulders carry the past
My eyes are filled with sorrow 
And the silent dream in my head might never see tomorrow 
To this day I pray I never lose my hope I 
Still believe in humans and my one true God
