In 2008 and 2011 she was honored with the Polish music industry's most prestigious prize – the Fryderyk Chopin Award. The vocalist is known for her warm, slightly matted voice, her distinctive style and class, her intimate approach to singing accompanied by her characteristic lightness of phrasing.
The Polityka weekly had the following to say about the 2010 Blue Note album:
Aga sings her own texts as well as the verses of Denise Lvertov, the music flows across many genres, from bossa nova to afrojazz, while the guitar sections performed by the Czech virtuoso David Dorůžka enthrall even the most discerning listeners. It's apparent that Aga Zaryan has her time of aspirations behind her, now (not only thanks to the interest on the part of Blue Note) she can consider herself a true star.
Aga is an international artist, appearing in clubs and festivals in Poland, the USA, Japan, Germany, Norway, Israel, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Norway, France, Montenegro, Turkey, Portugal, Russia, Iceland, Republic of China.
