Armenian composer, arranger, guitarist, and singer active in Beirut, Lebanon throughout the 1970s.

In 1962, he formed the short-lived band Les Vampires, before putting together Les Lunettes Noires (The Black Sunglasses) in the mid-1960s, who had a monthly gig at the Haig Club, an Armenian social club. The four-piece band performed the first Armenian-language song Ayo Ayo (Yes Yes) on Lebanese National TV in 1965 as part of the popular battle of the bands talent show Pêle Pêle. They won first place.
Kekedjian released four solo albums, many singles, and three albums of children’s songs. His 1970 debut album Chante Ses Success reflects popular contemporary styles: 1960s pop, rock and roll, ye-ye, and beat, but with Armenian-language lyrics. He went on to compose and arrange for a number of other Armenian-Lebanese artists, including legendary singer Adiss Harmamdyan, as well as singers Steve Minassian, Dikran Grigorian, and Garo Terzian.
