  LOS ANGELES, CA, May 05 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Love is a beautiful emotion. And for
Vocalist-Songwriter-Musician-Producer Sonya Kahn, love is everything. Her
love of family, her love of friends and especially her love for music. A
classically trained concert pianist, Kahn not only sings, writes all her
own material, plays guitar, arranges, produces, dances and costume
designs. Her newest release "UNE VIE D'AMOUR" (A Life of Love) by
Armenian-French singer, songwriter, actor and public activist, Charles
Aznavour is the very first single Kahn has recorded in her solo career
which she didn't write, because her love for this song runs so deeply.
"When I perform this song personally I feel very touched by the story of
this kind of love and feel empowered because I can express my own feeling
through this song, my own thoughts are kind of intertwined with those
lyrics and beautiful melodies when performing it," adds Kahn. Kahn is
sharing this new life performance acoustic recording at
www.YouTube.com/SonyaKahn with her fans around the world. Kahn is
currently in the studio recording Une Vie d'Amour in both Russian and
French languages and will soon have them available for download, but is
giving a sneak preview to her fans with this new unplugged video.
Additionally she is sharing the English translation of UNE VIE D'AMOUR's
song lyrics in her newest blog at www.MySpace.com/sonyakahn where she has
over 875,000 profile views. This recording of "UNE VIE D'AMOUR" is just a
part of her mesmerizing chameleon-like musical talents her friends and
fans have been exposed to.

    Aznavour's "UNE VIE D'AMOUR" is most known from the 1981 film
"Teheran-43." And although Kahn wasn't even born when this film was
released, Aznavour's work was introduced early on in this gifted
musician's life, who has been playing piano since the age of three. "My
mother introduced me to Charles Aznavour -- his music, movies and I
remember the first time I heard this song it moved me so much that I
wanted to cry. I didn't understand the lyrics because originally it was
performed in French by Mireille Mathieu and Charles Aznavour. I heard the
Russian version and I was able to understand the meaning of the song a
little more..." shares Russian-born, Kahn who holds a Doctorate of
Musical Arts Degree in concert piano performing and musical theory.

    Kahn's own passion and "LIFE OF LOVE" for music is an extension of who she
is, not just musically, a form of expression. A music education advocate,
her YouTube.com/SonyaKahn channel boasts a vast array of musical stylings
from her classical background to her contemporary show-stopping ballads to
mainstream pop/rock tunes. Much like multi-hyphenate, Aznavour, her
activism is strong, as she penned "WHISPERING SOULS," a song about
stopping genocide, and put an anti-war spin on "WITHOUT YOU," a single
from her 13-track self-produced album, "NEW BEGINNING."

    "I truly feel that my soul was born to create music, my passion for music
defines my life's purpose. Organically I need to be involved in creating
something. I need to express myself and any kind of art form will work as
a second choice after the music: poetry, dancing, fashion, painting, etc.
I've always been about sharing my classical side with my fans and bringing
music education forward in terms of other works that are out there, which
inspire me. 'UNE VIE D'AMOUR' is an extension of this part of me as an
artist. It's all about diversity -- even different classical styles of
music bring unique values and teach numerous different things... and
contemporary music is no different. It's like being introduced to a piece
of information that you may not initially be interested in but when you
learn it and understand it -- it opens your mind to a different world. I
am experimenting with different sounds/styles like hip-hop, techno, house,
calypso and reggae," explains Kahn.

    Kahn's drive is unstoppable. Her personal "UNE VIE D'AMOUR - LIFE OF LOVE"
is all about sharing, expressing, creating and educating. But she doesn't
stop there. She utilizes an extension of her creative passion in all she
does. Her compassionate nature has realized that all her fans also have a
need to express, a need to share. So Kahn created Sonya Kahn's Speak Out
Symphony http://groups.MySpace.com/SKSOS, a MySpace group where she
discusses the meaning behind her music along with many current events,
personal topics and issues she thinks about.

    Kahn just recently released "LONELY ROAD" a few weeks ago, her first
break-out ballad single from her album, "NEW BEGINNING." The CD is
available at iTunes.com, CDBaby.com and Digstation.com. For more unplugged
live performance recordings, go to YouTube.com/SonyaKahn. Stay tuned at
Twitter.com/SonyaKahn for what she's currently up to... Chances are you
will find that her "UNE VIE D'AMOUR" for music continues.
