Serj Tankian is 52 years old. He is an Armenian-American artist, best known for being the lead singer of the band System of a Down, but he is a lot more than just that. Nevertheless, I’m not going to write about his personal life; you can read his Wikipedia page. I’m going to tell you about some of the many amazing things he does.

First of all, he was the lead singer of System of a Down for many years since 1994. He performed live in many countries, including Chile, and released several albums: the most famous is called ‘Toxicity’. However, he decided to leave that band to concentrate on three different things: his solo career, his painting, and his activism. Alone, Serj Tankian released 6 solo albums, including a symphonic release of his rock album called ‘Elect the dead’ and a classical symphony called ‘Orca’. Also, he worked on the soundtrack of a few films. Moreover, he started painting as a hobby and now has many works of art. Finally, one of his most impressive feats is his activism: He advocates for animal rights, environmental issues, and has been very critical of the US government and their military interventions, mainly through his music.

To sum up, Serj Tankian is an amazing artist who uses his art to make people enjoy, but more importantly, think critically. In conclusion, he is absolutely awesome.
