We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Aleen Khachatourian a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Aleen, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.
I don’t remember the exact moment but I’ve always been heavily drawn to the arts.
Storytelling and expression light me up. Growing up, music was the default in our house. I can’t remember a day in my life where my dad hasn’t played the guitar.
For me, singing is synonymous to speaking.
I always felt the most alive during my music, theater, dance, and english classes.
I’ve spent a lot of my life on stages. I was always encouraged to pursue my creative side and I’m grateful to have such a stellar support system that has built the foundation for my dreams.
My life as a writer evolved from my love of reading and curiosity of human nature.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I am a first generation Armenian-American born and raised in Los Angeles. I am a writer, singer and creative producer. I work in many mediums and predominantly I write. I’ve always been a student of the arts.
My writing often finds its voice through poetry.
I balance my artistic practice with my business.
At MOONS Creative, we offer digital branding, content strategy and production. We create, while you build your brand.
This, like every other professional project in my life found me and I cultivated the role along the way.
I oscillate between artist and producer throughout the day – it’s a dance I really enjoy.
I’m proud to be creating with a team that is passionate about the work we’re doing.
I’m honored to be creating a life + business that’s in alignment with my values of integrity, creativity, collaboration and excellence.
I’m inspired by this human experience and I think being tapped into that is what elevates even the most mundane.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
My mission is truth. To reflect back deep presence and raw experience. To offer perspective and exist as a technology that rewires the mind.
The unwavering objective of my practice is anchoring the vision of alternative paradigms as we shift into new ways of being.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
How deeply I experience this life. It’s visceral and raw. It’s like I’m wired to feel, observe and disseminate on an unprecedented level.
It’s not something that I was taught, it’s just how I was made.
