In 1997 while performing at a Homenetmen of South Florida dance, he met his wife Shakie Khatchikian. They later went on to have two beautiful daughters Tatianna and Nyrie Iskenderian. Later that year he started his second band—Ararat Band—with Shihan Krikorian. After performing at the Homenetmen of Boston Chapter dance, his singing career flourished around the globe. He would go on to perform in Brazil, France, on board the Armenian Relief Society (ARS) European Cruise, the Armenian Heritage Cruise and at several Navasartian Homenetmen games.
