Album Notes

For those of you who just wandered in here out of the cold damp corridors, you will find a warm welcome. With so much to say...with images and music, we are looking for people that may just find themselves feeling at home within this sound of ours... we know you\'re out there :) So if you happen to come across our page and find yourself a little drawn in...ever so slightly curious to know who is behind all these...passionate and provocative creations... then pull up a chair...

We believe in love...the power of it, the destruction and the pain of it... I think we understand it in all its many guises...perhaps enough to capture it. Our songs tell a story, individually and as a whole, when you listen you will start to hear the thread of our experiences woven through each one. It’s a story of the deepest emotions, sorrow, joy and inevitability, fight and surrender.

KMP was born in Lebanon of Armenian parents, and for 7 years lived there with his family until the war drove them to find safety on the other side of the world. He lives in LA now, surrounded appropriately by palm trees and sunshine, a well deserved refuge of a boy that spent 8 days in a basement in Lebanon waiting for the bombs to stop falling outside. He didn’t speak English until he was 7, and although he now has an American accent he still speaks Armenian fluently, and there is no language more full of passion. You can hear it resonating in his music, the exotic middle eastern flavors and rhythms that make every music production unique and instantly recognizably KMP.

For as long as I can remember I was a wordsmith, my teachers at school telling me they had instructions to allow me to daydream in class because they believed I had a rare talent as a poet, but it wasn’t till much later I discovered I could sing and my half Irish and very passionate side was allowed to express itself. Since then I have been told I sound like Karen Carpenter on many occasions, Dido and Sade among others. I have lived in England all my life, perhaps one reason why my lyrics bend to the darker side of emotions on the whole, England can be a somewhat depressing place in winter, and the rain can be relentless. A far cry from the beautiful LA sunshine!

We began our journey at the beginning of 2004 having met quite by chance, we found ourselves drawn together by a bizarre twist of fate. The powerful chemistry between us is evident in all our creations, my voice and words melded perfectly with the exotic KMP soundscapes, bizarre when you consider the distance between us, and the difference in our cultural backgrounds. After 2 years we have created over 20 songs. Just released our debut album \" A Beautiful Chemistry\". Feel free to take some time to listen to the sample tracks.

Until the next time…take care and thanks for listening!
