Abaji was born in Lebanon to an Armenian-Greek father from Smyrna and an Armenian-Syrian mother born in Istanbul.
He arrived in France in 1976, shortly after the start of war, and developed a passion for Chinese medicine. As a therapist, he practiced Tai Chi in a psychiatric community for seven years.
Abaji composes and plays music for movies and television. Most recently, he produced music for a documentary feature film by Jean Deniau, "The Hostage Time," broadcast in France in 2009.
The musical encounters lead Abaji to the 5 continents - the Zulus of Durban, South Africa, the Indians of northern Mexico, the Gnawas of Morocco, the Qawwals of Lahore, Pakistan.
In 2009, he decided to produce his fifth album, and recorded all the songs in one take and in 5 languages: French, Arabic, Greek, Turkish and Armenian.
