Born in 1985, he studied the duduk in Armenia with different teachers. With Araïk Bartikian (himself a student of Djivan Gasparyan), he mastered duduk technique and its multiple nuances of timbre, along with all the subtleties of traditional repertoire (perfecting intonation, rhythmic ambiguities and multiplicities, ornamentation, modal development). Then he met Gaguik Mouradian, the kamancha master, with whom he studied Armenian repertoire in general. Since 2009, he has been playing under his direction in the traditional ensemble Goussan. Numerous concerts at his side have allowed him to approach the spirit of this music. At the same time, he has collaborated on different projects directed by Jordi Savall like Istanbul, Mare Nostrum, la Tragédie Cathare, Esprit d’Arménie etc. His research on duduk timbre began to draw him more and more towards instrument making. He learnt how to make his own reeds with master Ashot Martirosyan, studied wood-turning and tuning in the Meyerrecorders studio workshop with master Ernst Meyer and his two sons, renowned Baroque recorder manufacturers. He now makes his own instruments and continues research on mastering the whole chain of sound production, from instrument-making to interpretation. He also leads a solo career, performing notably at the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris, India, Morroco, Portugal,France… His solo album was released in 2020 by Ocora(Radio France)
