Life and career
His career began when Grigoryan studied at the Metro Theatre Children's Studio (1995–1997). From 1998 to 2002, he studied at the Yerevan State Institute of Theatre and Cinema, while acting at different theatres.
In 2011, with film director Lilit Movsisyan, Grigoryan made an experimental zero-budget feature-length fiction film ''Ashtray'',
which was discussed, praised and criticized after it was finished. Also in 2011 a very spontaneous shooting turned into a real success: Lilit Movsisyan and Grigoryan made an experimental short (starring Grigoryan) which was used in Ridley Scott's ''
Life in a Day'' Scott project in the opening part of the film.
From 2013 Grigoryan took acting courses overseas, at Anthony Meindl's Actor Workshop, and The William Esper Studio studying the Meisner technique.
Grigoryan is also well known for his music videos, performing as a singer, director and producer. Many of his released singles were hits. At the end of 2017, Grigoryan as "Kamil" announced that she will compete in
