He became known throughout the world for his voice and his musical styling. Aram loved to work and he devoted his life to music. He approached positive things and was confident about himself.

When Armenia was in conflict, he performed songs for the soldiers and Armenians in general for moral support.

Aram performed many concerts in Asia, Europe, Russia, the Middle East and many cities in Armenia. He has written over 500 songs and constantly held world tours. Throughout his life he had received many awards such as the “Gusan” he was awarded on April 18, 2003 from the Cultural Music Ministry in Armenia. Until his passing, he resided in the United States. He believed his music would pass on from generation to generation.

Death

The fatal attack happened at about 19:00 local time. He did not show early symptoms as it was reported that he was in a very good and warm mood. He was surrounded with his close relatives. He is grieved by his fans and the Armenian nation has taken a big loss from his death, as he is/was considered the original Armenian pop singer of modern times, and the "voice of Hayastan". the entire Asatryan family is considered to be a big contribution to the pop music of Armenia

Note: his son Setrak (Seto) died in a tragic automobile accident approx. 1 year before Aram's death, which left Aram in a very sad depressed grieving state up until his return trip to Armenia in 2006
