Inga Arshakyan, known mononymously as Inga, performed in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 with her elder sister Anush, performing the song Jan Jan, which inspires the Armenian dance of Nor Par. Many think the two are twins, but Anush was born just a year before her. In 1997, Inga graduated from S. Aslamazyan music school with her sister and A. Babajanyan music college as a violinist. She was also working at the G. Achemyan violin ensemble next to her studies. She toured around Armenia with the ensemble.
