In the entire history of show business, it has been extremely rare for singers from Kazakhstan to gain popularity not only in the post-Soviet space, but also beyond its borders. Until a young talent appeared with a unique voice that made people talk about themselves and their country around the world. This is 23-year-old performer Dimash Kudaibergenov, whose biography has recently become of interest to an increasing number of fans. .
The childhood years of Dimash Kudaibergenov
The biography of the future popular singer does not imply a happy, carefree childhood. According to Dimash’s mother, the child should not have free time so that he is not left to his own devices. Therefore, her son had a rather busy schedule. From the age of five he attended a children's music studio, where he studied vocals and piano. At the same young age, Dimash first performed as a singer, and showed himself as a bearer of extraordinary vocal abilities. A year later, the boy won the first prize at the national competition “Ainalayyn” for his talented piano playing.
At the age of sixteen, the young singer became the winner of the “Ringing Voices of Baikonur” song competition, and two years later he received the first prize at the “Zhas Kanat” festival.
At the same time, Dimash improved the art of academic singing at the College named after. A. Zhubanov, who graduated in 2014. Next was the Kazakh National University of Arts and studied in the specialty “Variety Art”.
Singer Dimash Kudaibergenov performed at the Song of the Year festival
Last Saturday, the annual “Song of the Year” festival was held at the Moscow Olympic sports complex, in which the famous Kazakh singer Dimash Kudaibergenov took part. Our artist, who performed the song “Love of Tired Swans” by Igor Krutoy, received the longest standing ovation from the audience and became the leader in the number of flowers presented by fans.
Literally two hours before the start of the concert, representatives of the musician’s Eurasian fan club staged an impromptu flash mob, during which they performed his songs, treated everyone to hot coffee and told Russians about the achievements of the talented artist from Kazakhstan. However, a little later those who came to the concert were able to see this with their own eyes.
According to tradition, the entire flower of the Russian stage gathered at the “Song of the Year” festival: Lev Leshchenko, Oleg Gazmanov, Kristina Orbakaite, Valeria, Alexander Buinov, Vladimir Kuzmin, Dima Bilan, Polina Gagarina, the group “A-studio”, Lolita, Leonid Agutin, Anzhelika Varum, Svetlana Loboda and many other artists.
The festival was a real benefit for Philip Kirkorov, who appeared on stage three times. The singer’s first appearance in a duet with Nikolai Baskov transported the audience from winter to summer: both musicians, who performed the hit “Ibiza,” wore shorts and bright colored shirts. For the second time, the artist who presented the hype composition “The Color of Mood is Blue” decided not to illustrate the song. He took the stage in a stylish white suit and a cowboy hat decorated with turquoise rhinestone stars. The singer's performance, quite in keeping with his temperament, was accompanied by a small fiery show: sparks literally rained down even from his shoes. For the third time, Kirkorov shone in a raven-colored outfit to the composition “The Color of Mood is Black,” performed together with Yegor Creed.
Nikolai Baskov also entered the same river twice. The first time this happened in a duet with Kirkorov, and the second time in tandem with the group “Disco Accident”. The team performed the song “Fantaser”, which was loved by the audience.
Kirkorov and Basque, according to tradition, would have collected the largest number of flowers, if not for the delegation of Dimash’s fans... Their ringing voices, pronouncing the name of the idol, were heard even before the artist entered the stage. When Igor Krutoy and Irina Allegrova appeared in the hall, whom the composer accompanied on the piano, it became clear: Dimash would be next.
After all, lately the maestro has been accompanying our artist at significant events. So, earlier they appeared together at a concert dedicated to Russian Police Day in the Kremlin. But if then the reaction of the audience was more restrained due to the specifics of the audience’s profession, then here the audience could not contain their emotions. Because literally from the first chords, Dimash amazed the audience with his impeccable vocals and sensual performance of the song “Love of Tired Swans.”
By the way, the author of its words, Mikhail Gutseriev, is also a native of our country: he was born in Akmolinsk.
At the concert, the song “White River” was performed with music and lyrics by our compatriots Baygali Serkebaev and Erkesh Shakeev from the group “A-Studio”, also formed in Almaty. And the host of the evening (paired with singer Sergei Lazarev) Lera Kudryavtseva was also born in Kazakhstan.
At the end of his performance, Dimash thanked Igor Krutoy for the song and invited all the spectators to visit his homeland.
And then... a huge column of Kudaibergenov’s fans with flowers reached the stage, something that other concert participants had never dreamed of. There were so many luxurious bouquets that Dimash needed the help of Krutoy and the guards to accept the gifts.
By the way, it was for our singer that fans came to the “Song of the Year” concert not only from Kazakhstan, but also from China, Poland and other countries. By a lucky chance, I got a ticket from a fan of Kudaibergenov from the Czech Republic, who suddenly decided that it was worth sitting closer. As a result, this extra ticket was given to me by representatives of Dimash’s Eurasian Fan Club, for which I express my deep gratitude to them.
In addition to the singing of our compatriot, I was deeply touched by the performance of Larisa Dolina, who dedicated her composition to the singer Joseph Kobzon and the poet Andrei Dementyev, who passed away this year. And Grigory Leps did not leave indifferent, singing two songs at once: “Two Columbuses” and “Amen”...
According to tradition, “We will not say goodbye to the song” was sung in the finale, which was sung by Dimash, a nugget from Kazakhstan, who conquered virtually the whole world with his talent, along with the masters of Russian pop music.
The television version of the concert can be seen on the Rossiya TV channel on January 1 and 2.
New stage
The key in the creative biography of Dimash Kudaibergenov was his victory at the Slavic Bazaar song competition in 2020. Participation in this festival brought him recognition and love from viewers throughout the post-Soviet space.
In the competition program the young man performed three compositions:
- Kazakh folk song “Daididau”;
- lyrical composition by K. Meladze “Again a snowstorm”;
- by the French artist Gregory Lemarchal's song SOS d'un terrien en détresse.
Based on the results of three rounds, Dimash scored the maximum number of points (175 out of 180) and won the grand prix and a cash prize of 20 thousand dollars. He was nicknamed “Kazakh Vitas” for his voice with a huge range and ability to hit the highest notes.
During the same period, the performer defended the singing honor of Kazakhstan within the framework of the international television festival ABU TV song, which took place in Istanbul.
In 2020, singer Dimash Kudaibergenov was awarded a state scholarship from the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev.
Music
A landmark in Dimash’s creative career was the song festival “Slavic Bazaar” in 2020, traditionally organized in the Belarusian city of Vitebsk. The musician’s performance at this competition turned out to be so successful that from a gifted Kazakh boy he instantly turned into a performer who is known and loved throughout the post-Soviet space.
Dimash Kudaibergenov - “Daudidau”
In the 1st round of the competition, Kudaibergenov decided to perform the composition “Daudidau” and scored 89 points, breaking away from the closest “pursuer” - Belarusian Valeria Gribusova - by 4 points. The young singer decorated the 2nd round with a performance of the popular song “A Snowstorm Again,” written by Konstantin Meladze. He scored 86 points, the same as Valeria.
And for the 3rd round, Dimash chose a piece called “Sos dun terien un detresse”, which was originally performed by the Frenchman Gregory Lemarchal.
As a result, having scored 175 points (out of a possible 180 points), Kudaibergenov won the most prestigious award of the Slavic Bazaar - the Grand Prix. In addition, he received a cash prize of $20 thousand. For his unusual voice and ability to hit even the most difficult notes, Dimash has already received the nickname “Kazakh Vitas”. And the number of subscribers to his Instagram account has exceeded the million mark.

In the same 2020, the performer had the honor of representing his native Kazakhstan at the international television festival “ABU TV song”, held in Istanbul.
In 2020, the young singer received a state scholarship from the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev.
Dimash performs compositions in Russian, Spanish, English, French and other languages. Thus, the Russian-speaking public liked how the singer performed the song “Belovezhskaya Pushcha” at the opening of the “Slavic Bazaar-2016”. Kudaibergenov was accompanied by the famous Kazakh singer and actress Nagima Eskalieva.

The singer also managed to work with fellow countrymen musicians – Maira and Alisher Karimov.
At the beginning of 2020, Kudaibergenov participated in the popular program “I am a singer” in China. He amazed the audience with a performance of the same “Sos dun terien un detresse” by Lemarchal. The audience fell in love with the charismatic performer from the first minutes. All of Dimash’s performances in China receive millions of views on YouTube. No less masterfully he sang Vitas’ song called “Opera No. 2,” which is also known by the first words “My house is completed.”

Having sung the famous hit of a popular singer in China, Dimash, in addition to the love of the audience, got into trouble. According to media reports, Sergei Pudovkin, producer of Vitas, filed a lawsuit for illegal use of the song.
According to the producer, Dimash and his representatives did not make a request to perform the hit on such a big stage, therefore there is an unauthorized use of someone else's intellectual property. Pudovkin intends to ban Dimash from performing all Vitas songs.
The audience was especially impressed by his performance of the song “Adagio” from the repertoire of opera diva Lara Fabian, which he sang while accompanying himself on the piano. Masterly and soulful performance of the musical composition allowed Dimash to become the favorite of the show and receive second prize. Success at the competition in China opened up great prospects for Dimash Kudaibergenov in the Asian region and throughout the world.
Dimash won the love of all China
In December, the singer signed a contract with designer Goko Zaldi, who previously worked with Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga. Tall, slender Dimash has naturally curly hair, and, as his mother said in an interview, she was happy when foreign stylists decided not to straighten her son’s curls.
International popularity
In the spring of 2020, the young talent risked testing his strength in the Chinese version of the South Korean show Singer 2020, where only professional performers compete. He easily conquered the first round and charmed the audience with the beauty and wide range of his voice.
At the competition, the singer performed two songs: SOS d'un terrien en detresse and “Opera No. 2”, performed by the popular singer Vitas in China. The reaction to Dimash Kudaibergenov’s speeches was millions of views on Youtube. And in the competition itself, the young talent took first place.
It is not surprising that Dimash soon receives the title of the most popular singer in Asia.
In April of this year, he participated in the Chinese reality show I am a Singer 2017. Despite the second place taken by Dimash Kudaibergenov in China, the audience considered him the winner, despite the fact that the first prize went to the representative of the Middle Kingdom.
After participating in this project, the singer, as an honored guest, was invited to the French state television channel France 2 to perform in the most famous cabaret show program Lesannéesbonheur. The reaction to Dimash Kudaibergenov's performances was amazing: the French audience gave a standing ovation. We can probably talk about the beginning of the conquest of the European public.
Fans' love
Despite the silence from the public about the details of the young talent’s personal life, this does not interfere with Dimash’s popularity among women; rather, on the contrary. For example, in China, Dimash Kudaibergenov, after arriving at the airport, saw a whole crowd of fans with flowers and gifts. As it turned out, they did not know what flight the singer would be arriving on, and therefore met each plane. The scandalous moment arose due to the fact that Dimash performed “Opera No. 2”; Vitas’ producer sued him, citing the lack of permission to perform this composition. Sergei Pudovkin, perhaps fearing a decline in the popularity of his ward, intends to obtain a ban on performing any songs from Vitas’ repertoire.
In response to these attacks, Dimash himself asks not to compare him with a Russian performer due to the difference in musical style, language, voice and level of performance, although he admits that such a comparison for him is a sign of popularity.

High-quality performance of songs in four languages (Russian, English, Kazakh and Chinese) is one of the success factors of young talent in conquering international show business.
