Drellander began her musical journey at the age of 6 as a choir lead and piano performer at school concerts. She was also writing simple stories and poetry as a child and continued writing throughout all her school years.

At the age of 16, Tatevik became known in the Montreal local community for performing a classical repertoire in 8 languages. At 19 she developed a passion for song-writing and presented to a small audience her first musical composition "Time".

The singer/songwriter/producer now has more than 170 written songs behind her in a variety of styles.  Her main genres are pop and jazz but she has also written rock'n'roll, country, latin dance and European house music.

Tatevik has received great reviews for her work including praise from tenor and McGill voice coach Franco Tenelli who says: "One of Tatevik's greatest gifts is a beautiful voice that can be used in almost any style of music including classical and pop. In addition she is also a composer and excellent songwriter. This versatility is a unique gift itself and ensures us we have a real talent."

At 24 she moved to Toronto and took on the artist name "Drellander". In 2004 Drellander collaborated with writer/film director Robert Wilson on a short film A Dying Fall that aired on CBC in July 2006 and won first place at WorldFest Houston. Tatevik's multiple credits for this film include art direction, craft services, make-up and wardrobe, contract management as well as playing a small part in the movie. Tatevik and Robert worked on a few production projects since then.

In 2011 she recorded her song Oasis with indie music producer/sound engineer and Indie Week judge Dave Thomson and released it on iTunes and Amazon via CD Baby. She also produced a music video for the song (directed and edited by Robert Wilson) that is now available on YouTube. 

Tatevik launched Drellander Productions in 2012 to produce songs and music videos for herself and other artists. She secured a non-exclusive worldwide publishing deal for her songs with the Canadian publisher Jan Cooper Publishing after Jan Cooper represented her at Midem 2012 in Cannes. In the same year she had a performance at the prestigious Mod Club in Toronto organized by Landmark Media. Her song Oasis was promoted with a 2 week radio blast in Canada and US by Avala DSF (currently under Five2Eight umbrella). In April 2012 the song played on TrikTrak Radio, a Montreal and LA based station promoting music by artists of Armenian origin. In February 2013 Drellander was approached and signed with A & R Select to promote her music on radio, in magazines, TV shows, films and commercials in the US. The week of Aug 12, 2013 "Oasis" had spins on CBC Radio, one of Canada's largest radio stations with national coverage. It played on the CBC Radio programs "Mainstreet" (P.E.I.) and "The Bridge" (Windsor, Ontario). In March 2015 Tatevik entered "Oasis" into CBC's Searchlight  Competition and was close to winning the 1st round in Toronto. In April 2018 And August 2019 Oasis played on Sean Michael Paddison's Limitless Show with One World Music Radio, a popular UK based station, number 1 station in Europe by genre.

Oasis is Drellander's first radio quality recorded and released single. As A & R Select said in their press release: " Oasis is a metaphor for finding true love. Its message is inspiring, hopeful and creates a deep connection due to its relatable subject matter. This single has an arrangement of that of a movie soundtrack. It incorporates the depth of her skills, the passion of her writing, the beauty of her voice and has a mesmerizing effect on anyone who has the privilege to experience her music."

Her former little student Jessie who started piano at 4 years and 8 months was the best piano player at school.
