Serj Tankian On Down With The System: A Memoir (of Sorts). Activist, Musician, Songwriter, Painter And Poet

Serj talks with Maggie about his new book Down With The System: A Memoir (of Sorts)  In DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM, Serj presents readers with a memoir that is far more than just a rock 'n' roll fable. It's an immigrant's tale, it’s an activist's awakening, and it's a spiritual journey from darkness toward light. And all of this comes down to the fact that Serj himself has had the chance to live an extraordinary life—thanks to a combination of luck, circumstance, struggle, talent, and spiritual awakening.

Braiding together Serj’s thought-provoking insight with heartfelt and poetic prose, DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM retraces Serj’s remarkable and unlikely journey, and explores what it’s taught him—about music, about art, about activism and about himself. It’s an unforgettable ride that will leave you breathless—and an absolute delight for new fans and old ones alike.

An exhilarating, thoughtful, and beautifully written debut memoir by musician, songwriter, and lead singer-lyricist of Grammy award-winning metal band, System Of A Down, Serj Tankian.

Check out Maggie's first interview with Serj Tankian from October of 2020.
