Elie’s first ever experience of singing in public was at the age of 5 where upon his teachers request he sang the famous “Barzir Aghpur “ song in a crowded classroom at his school. The news of the extraordinary discovery of Eli’s singing talent spread quickly amongst teachers and students and he was chosen to sing at the graduation ceremony later that year and that marked the beginning of his journey in the beautiful world of singing.
At only 10 years old Elie was able to capture the admiration of his audience at his first concert where he performed 24 armenian patriotic songs ! With popular demand a second recital was organized and this time sold out status was announced 2 months before and the 1100 seats theatre was full with significant amount of audience standing up to hear the little boy sing!
Despite young Elie’s great success in establishing a loyal fan base, his parents chose to bring his singing career to a halt so he can continue his education without any distractions. In 2000 Elie Berberian made his comeback with an album sponsored by Hamazkayin’s Roupen Zartarian branch which contained famous Sayat Nova songs.
Elie finished his studies in the national conservatory of Lebanon in 2005 and moved to Montreal Canada to finish his musical education with a masters degree in music from the prestigious McGill University.
Since his arrival to Canada, Elie Berberian won the love and admiration of thousands of Armenian fans around the world. He has sang in nearly every major Armenian festival in north America and has been blessed with a busy schedule of concerts, festivals, weddings and private events ever since.
