Decibelle, Tumo's new girl band, is featured in the second episode of Tumo Sessions, a format that features Tumo students, occasionally accompanied by invited artists.
"What If", Decibelle's debut track, is a wistful song about second chances. Its music and lyrics are written and performed by 17 year old Mariam Mirzoyan and 16 year old Lilit Hovakimian. Mariam and Lilit arranged the track with the assistance of composer and musician Aram Rián who is heading the Girl Band project. This initiative aims to empower female Tumo students to create and produce original music across various genres, including pop, pop-rock, RnB and contemporary jazz.
Tumo Sessions is an audiovisual format featuring work produced by students and alumni, as well as local and international guest artists and Tumo staff. Tumo Sessions will provide students with an opportunity to both learn from and work with guest musicians in audiovisual performance and production. It will enhance their experience and knowledge in music production and complement Tumo's music workshops. The Tumo Sessions debut production featured the Tumo alumni band Yentama.
