In his early teens, he took lessons in a variety of instruments including guitar , bouzouki and saz (plucked instruments), dhol and piano ; later he was a member of the band Erebouni . His interest in music also came from the fact that his mother was a singer. His band moved from village to village, playing everything from Charles Aznavour to Deep Purple and Elvis , including at weddings and universities. Due to the restrictions in the Soviet Union, Harout and most of his family left Soviet Armenia in 1975. After a year in Lebanon , he moved to Los Angeles and took up residence in Hollywood .
