“Khazer” Armenian Music Awards 2025

On April 30, 2025, the inaugural “Khazer” Armenian Music Awards took place at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concert Complex, opening a new chapter in the history of Armenian music. The evening was a celebration of creativity and talent, filled with vibrant performances and unforgettable moments. The event brought together over 400 key figures from the Armenian and Diaspora music communities — including artists, composers, performers, producers, directors, musicians, stylists, visual artists, media professionals, and prominent cultural icons. One of the evening’s highlights was the appearance of Kitt Wakeley — a renowned American composer, producer, two-time Grammy Award winner, and head of the Texas chapter of the Recording Academy. Internationally recognized for his work in symphonic rock and synth-electronic music, his presence added a special global dimension to the event. The “Khazer” Awards were organized by Background Production, which managed every aspect of the event — from developing the creative concept and overseeing production to coordinating the red carpet, stage design, and full execution of the ceremony.
