TAMAR REALIZED THAT BECAUSE OF HER CONNECTIONS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, AND THE PLATFORM SHE HAD IN THE COUNTRY, THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HER TO CREATE AN ORGANIZATION SUPER-SERVING TALENTED MUSICIANS IN ARMENIA. PRIOR TO NVAK, THERE WAS NO COLLABORATIVE, COHESIVE, VIBRANT, MODERN MUSIC COMMUNITY IN ARMENIA. YOUNG MUSICIANS WERE NOT PRODUCING OR RELEASING ORIGINAL MUSIC.
