Born and raised in Burlington, Vermont, Aram began playing at 13 and developed his technique playing in progressive rock and funk bands. He studied composition in college while frequently performing live and recording with various touring acts all over the U.S. After earning a reputation as a first-class pro bassist he released his debut album of emotionally resonant and technically dazzling original unaccompanied solo pieces. It quickly earned glowing reviews and worldwide attention; leading to co-billings with Buckethead, Joe Bonommassa and other world-class artists as well as numerous endorsements. Also a highly sought-after bass instructor in Vermont and worldwide, he is the resident bass faculty member at Johnson State College, the founder of the Burlington Music Dojo musical collective in Vermont, and a contributor to the Bass Players United online community. He also still does frequent session work and regularly performs live with drummer Jon Fishman of Phish. Aram uses Ritter Basses, DR Handmade Strings and Hartke Amplification. His two main instruments were hand-crafted by the world-renowned German luthier Jens Ritter; the second of which, dubbed "The Supernova", was designed by Jens and Aram together and has many unique features making it tailored for solo bass performance.
