She sang for several years with the Naghash Ensemble, specializing in reinterpreting Armenian poems from the Middle Ages. Arpi caused a huge reaction in Brazil by posting her versions of world-famous bossa nova classics on social media. She achieved great success with her versions of the Brazilian bossa nova classic  Garota de Ipanema, The Way You Look Tonight and the samba Mas que Nada .

Arpi’s vocals are close to the contralto vocal type, probably somewhere in between mezzo-soprano and contralto, making her a rare talent. As an opera singer she has great control over her vocals, and one can see it throughout her video performances, mainly on YouTube. Her physical resemblance to actress Julia Roberts has led to the assumption that she was the actress' daughter. References
