Arsen Mirzoyan
Ukrainian singer
Arsen Romanovich Mirzoyan (Ukrainian: Арсен Романович Мірзоян; born 20 May 1978), is a Ukrainian singer and songwriter. He was declared "Merited Artist of Ukraine" in 2020 and awarded the "Order of Merit, 3rd class" in 2022.
Biography
Arsen Mirzoyan was born of Armenian descent in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine in 1978 and graduated from school in 1995. During his years in school, he also took part in concerts and wrote poems, some of which were later used in his songs. However, he had no formal musical education, and he went on to qualify as a non-ferrous metallurgy engineer from the Engineering Institute of Zaporizhzhia National University. He then worked in Zaporizhzhia, first for aircraft engine manufacturer Motor Sich and then in the machine shop of steel maker Zaporizhstal, where he worked for twelve years as site foreman.
Musical career
In 1998, his friends invited him to join their rock band, and this evolved into the band "Totem", whose composition was somewhat fluid. Out of this, Mirzoyan established a band called "Baburka", which performed at festivals such as "Pearls of the Season" and "Chervona Ruta", where he met Alexander Polozhinsky, leader of the band "Tartak". Polozhinsky hosted a TV programme on the TNT-Russia channel called Fresh Blood which featured new young talents, and he invited "Baburka" to take part.
In 2000, Mirzoyan became deaf in his left ear, and in 2004 he became completely deaf.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Arsen Mirzoyan”, the useful work is to connect “ukrainian singer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 28, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q12131555. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1978, 2020, 2022 and 1995.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
