Levon appeared in Newsweek Magazine for break-dancing at the tender age of 10 - about this same time he was writing up original Dungeons & Dragons adventures for his friends. He became a DJ at 16, played in all sorts of bands and in Houston was nominated for "Best DJ" and "Keyboardist of the Year". Levon began working in games as a sound and music producer after several of his original compositions were licesnsed for early Xbox games. His roles expanded organically into story writing, game feature design, and business development over many years and projects. Levon resigned from Ubisoft in 2011 to start-up Headrush Games and has built a team to support his vision.
