Arman Aloyan was born in Hollywood, CA to Armenian immigrants. He began to fall in love with classical music at the age of four, listening to the works of Mozart, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, and others, for hours on end. His mom, Vardui, had tried to learn the piano in their home country but her parents couldn't afford lessons. Arman made it a goal to fulfill the promise of one day mastering the piano. Around the age of six, he started taking notice of film scores in particular, especially the works of John Williams, Nino Rota and Hans Zimmer. He became obsessed with their soundtracks and was now convinced he wanted to write for film. Aloyan's focus was building a new sound: one that is influenced by electronic music. At the age of twelve, he composed the score to his first short film, "Subhuman," which went on to garner awards at numerous international film festivals and secure distribution in over 40 countries across the world. Over the next four years (while still in high school), Aloyan scored an additional eleven short films and did the sound design for the feature film, "Fly on the Wall." Recently, he scored the film "Noise," which arose a challenge for Arman since most of the film was silent and required a score that fit to a deaf person's perception of sound. The film went on to be nominated at the Austin Film Festival.
