He was born on March 28, 1880, in the city of Tbilisi. There he graduated from the Nersisian School and studied at the teacher's seminary in Tbilisi from Makar Yekmalyan and H. Kara-Murza. Then in 1900–1903 he studied at the Tbilisi Musical College in the composition class of N. D. Nikolaev.

He began his career as a composer in 1905. In 1906 he taught singing at the Tbilisi teacher's seminary. From 1906 he lived and worked in Baku, where in 1908 he created the first working choir here.

In 1910-1917, he published in Baku the monthly Armenian magazine "Theatre and Music". On the pages of the magazine, questions of the development of the music of the East were developed. During the World War I he constantly participated in charity evenings organized by Armenians in Baku. So in 1915 he took part in the second Armenian charity evening in favor of refugees called "Even or Odd." Armenian folk songs were performed at the evening, the song “Kele-kele” performed to the music of Anton Mayilyan was especially successful.
