He married and had three children, Remy, Rebecca and Renee two girls and a boy before the couple divirced. Derderian's brother Vigen is a well-known Iranian-Armenian singer. He wrote about the realities of life, tackling subjects of poverty, crime asocial injustice, as well as subject of love.

His book Kfrnameh (in Persian کفرنامه) was concerned blasphemous against Islam leading to banning of all his books, although earlier his poetry had been part of literature and poetry curriculums in Iranian universities. Still his admirers would make photocopies and distribute them clandestinely.
