Hi, I'm Anna at home, "Glaz" (inspired by a character from the book To Kill a Mockingbird—a little character who dressed like a boy) to my old and gold homies, and "Kamunts" on stage ("Քամունց" is derived from my old last name, meaning "from the wind." My father shared a legend about it, and he once dreamed of changing our last name to embrace this heritage). I'm also the mommy of two girl kitties. What's weird is that I have so many names, but they don't; they're just "pss pss." So, I'm not good with names—call me whatever you want. I'm always happy to discover something new about myself.

What can I tell you about me? You can definitely gift me a plant on my birthday; I will be very happy. The older I become, the more plants should be around me. If they're mushrooms, even better! I'm from Vanadzor, the city of rock. Every single weirdo there had a studio with a full drum set, and every three people had their own band. I hope it's still like that. So, I moved from this vibe to Yerevan to study some maths because I was always planning to rob a bank and had these romantic views about programming, but I ended up in a usual IT company with anxiety problems.

Yeah, life was never easy for me, and I'm not a very privileged girl. What has always kept me alive is music. When I was a child, I struggled with a fear of silence. I couldn't sleep without music; it's my safe space. We were always fighting about this at home, so I've been fighting for music since childhood.

Then I met Holly. Together, we started our project, Jrimurmurner. It gave me a sense of purpose, making everyday life more meaningful. I had that feeling that we could touch someone's soul with our lyrics and music.

Then the music in the city became louder and louder. Sound systems resonated deep inside me, and my crazy addiction to dance brought me to the decks, where I'm not dancing but making others dance.

It is to feel a certain kind of spiritual release, because of course, we are never truly free in this world, but this brief feeling means so much to me. It's like you're letting out your demons and fighting against them.

I started to produce electronic music and DJ, and I really think this is my dream despite all the walls and difficulties. It's not about power, not about being famous, not about success; it's about something deeper inside. I think it's really magical. Music is pure magic.
