About

An exhilarating, thoughtful, and beautifully written debut memoir by musician, songwriter, and frontman of Grammy award-winning metal band, System of a Down, Serj Tankian

  Serj Tankian is best known as the lead singer of the Grammy-winning rock band, System of a Down, but he is also a solo artist, a composer, an activist, a painter, a poet, and a filmmaker. Since launching onto the rock scene in 1994, he's performed for millions of fans and sold more than 42 million albums worldwide. He's also a proud Armenian-American and a dedicated activist; along with Tom Morello, Tankian co-founded the non-profit organization Axis of Justice, which strives to bring together musicians, music fans, and grassroots political organizations to fight for social justice. He has composed scores for many films and television series, had his paintings exhibited in galleries in the U.S. and New Zealand, and released two books of his own poetry. He has also been an executive producer on multiple documentaries, including I Am Not Alone, which tells the story of Armenia's 2018 revolution and which won awards at the Toronto International Film Festival, DOC NYC, The American Film Institute Festival, and the Palm Springs International Film Festival, among others. Tankian lives with his wife and his son, splitting their time between Los Angeles and New Zealand.
