Nikogos Aga was born in 1835 in Hasköy and was of Armenian origin. He first studied music with Karabet Aga, and later with Dede Efendi. Although Nikogos Aga was Christian, he was greatly interested in Turkish religious music, and in order to master the several ayîns, na't and other religious forms that he had learned, he continued at the Mevlevîhanes. He died in 1885, a very successful composer.
