Dimash Kudaibergen biography

Dimash Kudaibergen is a young singer from Kazakhstan, known for his unique voice with a six-octave range. Social media often dubs him the «Kazakh Vitas», but Dimash himself dislikes such comparisons – he even sang the famous Opera No. 2 two tones higher on the Chinese music show The Singer to put an end to them.

In his performances, you can hear unexpected transitions from baritone to tenor and even to female soprano, and he describes his musical genre as neoclassic. However, Dimash doesn't aim to become famous just as a vocalist. His greater mission is to unite different peoples through music and break down the centuries-old cultural barriers between East and West. Net worth: $2 million.

Childhood and family

Dimash is the eldest son of Kanat Aitbaev and Svetlana Aitbaeva. He has a sister Raushan (born 2001) and brother Mansur (born 2007). His parents met and married as students of the Aktobe Pedagogical Institute. A year later, their first-born Dimash arrived, and initially, they entrusted his upbringing to their parents.

His grandmother, Miua Nizamutdinova, taught biology and geography at school, sang beautifully, and knew many old Kazakh tales and epics. His grandfather, Kudaibergen Aitbaev accompanied her by playing the dombra and taught all his grandchildren to play this ancient instrument.

Meanwhile, Kanat – a talented singer, poet, and improviser – formed a family duo with his wife Svetlana, a professional vocalist, that quickly gained widespread popularity in Kazakhstan. The duo performed at concerts throughout the republic, toured extensively across the country, and sometimes brought little Dimash along on their trips.

At age two, he first appeared on stage at the local theater, and at five, he began attending the children's studio at Aktobe's Music College. It quickly became clear that the boy had perfect pitch and excellent vocal abilities – he easily mastered piano, guitar, and other instruments, and even found solfeggio lessons engaging. Even in early childhood, he often drew himself on stage surrounded by musical instruments, unknowingly putting his dream of becoming a famous artist down on paper.

Dimash's mother recalled, "Many people say it's all about the genes, but Dimash himself is incredibly dedicated. He started singing at age 5, learned piano, and dreamed of becoming a world-famous celebrity. And we just laughed."

As a teenager, Dimash became passionate about taekwondo, dedicating four years to the martial art. During this time, he excelled in the martial art and earned his red belt, but when forced to choose between music and sports, he chose music. He also began experiencing health issues, so rather than abandon athletics entirely, he switched to swimming. Even now he hits the pool whenever he can, believing that professional vocalists need to stay athletic and physically strong.

After completing seventh grade, Dimash enrolled in Music College's pop and jazz singing department, where renowned Kazakh singer Marat Aitimov became his teacher. He not only properly developed his student's unique voice, expanding his range from three to five and even six octaves, but also instilled in him a love for art and national cultural traditions. During his studies, Dimash repeatedly took part in republican competitions of young performers, and in 2012 he won the Grand Prix ″Zhas Kanat″, the country's most prestigious youth competition.

Interestingly, one of the jury members was renowned Kazakh composer Kenes Dyusikeyev, who spotted the young talent among all the contestants. He met the young man and said that he would be glad to see him on his course at the State University of the Arts.

Unlike many peers agonizing over career choices, Dimash confidently pursued his goal and after graduating became a composition student at KazNUA (National University of Arts). Meanwhile, he kept singing and continued vocal lessons with Marat Aitimov, who had once been his mother's voice coach.

Worth noting: the university rector, Askhat Mayemirov, turned out to be an old friend of Dimash's parents from their student days. By then, they held high positions at the Aktobe Philharmonic Society and were incredibly proud of their eldest son's exceptional musical abilities. So Svetlana and Kanat wouldn't worry about Dimash, his invaluable grandmother Miua and grandfather Kudaibergen moved to Astana during his studies.

Rapid way to success

According to Zoomboola.com, Dimash won the 2015 Slavic Bazaar contest and received the Grand Prix directly from Polad Bulbuloglu, Azerbaijan's Minister of Culture. The legendary singer appreciated the talent of the young vocalist and predicted fast international fame.

That prediction came true. Just one year later, Dimash joined the fifth season of China's singing competition The Singer and became an overnight global sensation after his first performance.

His decision to enter this competition wasn't random – where else could he reach a potential audience of 2 billion people? After discovering the contest online, his family helped Dimash apply, and he spent the next year tirelessly going through casting after casting.

Dimash was practically certain he'd win. By then, he'd toured throughout Kazakhstan, performed with the National Choir and Astana Opera Theater Symphony Orchestra, and felt completely at home on stage. He wasn't even fazed by being the youngest contestant, competing against Asia's best vocalists. Plus, he made an excellent impression on Hunan TV director Hong Tao, who personally participated in contestant selection.

Winning required getting through twelve stages plus the final, with each performance needing to showcase different musical genres and scenarios. Everything had to be performed live – no backing tracks allowed. The first episode aired on January 21 and drew 600 million viewers within two days. With each round, Dimash's popularity exploded across Asia, even though he didn't win and a Hong Kong singer took first place.

During one performance, Dimash sang Opera No. 2, a Vitas song. Vitas is practically worshipped in China. Dimash managed to sing his Russian colleague's song two full tones higher. When those familiar high notes rang out, the audience erupted in delight.

In China, the young Kazakh artist became a genuine superhero – fan clubs opened nationwide, fans watched him on the streets day and night, and he needed security just to leave his house. The ultimate sign of his nationwide popularity? An invitation to visit legendary Jackie Chan, his childhood hero and his family's idol.

Dimash had no time to prepare a proper gift for the star, but residents of the small Chinese town of Urumqi – mostly ethnic Kazakhs – came to his rescue. His parents asked them to bring a velvet chain embroidered with traditional patterns and a dombra, which Dimash presented to the legendary actor. Jackie Chan was thrilled with the unique gift, and when he learned that Dimash had been practicing martial arts for years, he gave him a kimono and belt in return.

However, the contest brought the young man not only worldwide fame but also a lawsuit from Sergey Pudovkin, producer of singer Vitas. He accused the Kazakh artist of illegally using Opera No. 2 in his performance and legally barred him from performing any songs from Vitas's repertoire.

The scandal didn't affect Dimash's popularity at all. His worldwide fan club numbers about ten million people, with fans in 140 countries around the globe—even in places he's never visited. For instance, the artist was amazed to discover fans in distant Iceland when he traveled there to shoot a video for his song "Know."

Dimash Kudaibergen personal life

Tall and well-built, Dimash was already popular with women, but now female interest in him has reached truly global proportions. Still, the singer isn't rushing to share his personal life publicly, preferring to skillfully dodge such topics in interviews.

After thoroughly studying the artist's social media pages, Chinese journalists concluded that Dimash was dating Nursaule Aubakirova, a directing student at KazNUA. She was three years younger than Dimash. However, their relationship was only confirmed by a single photo—and not even a recent one.

In 2019, fans buzzed with rumors about Dimash and Narsaul's upcoming marriage. But Dimash quickly shut down these rumors. As it turns out, he and Narsaule haven't been together for quite some time. Dimash's fans, who closely analyze his likes and stories, believe that since 2019 he's been dating his stylist Anel Nurasheva.

The singer deeply values his family and takes every opportunity to bring all his relatives together under one roof. In a recent interview on Kazakh television, Dimash shared his vision of his future wife with viewers. She should be a beautiful, calm, wise, and well-mannered woman who will live with his family, raise children, and patiently wait for her husband to return from tours.

For me, the most important qualities are good manners, intelligence, a gentle nature, and tenderness. Of course, appearance is also very important. If I say the opposite now, it will not be true.

In early 2019, Dimash headed to the United States to compete on the musical talent show The World's Best. While the judges, including Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore, praised the Kazakh singer's performance, he didn't win and decided to step away from competition shows for good.

Summer 2019 saw the release of his debut studio album "ID," which went platinum in China in a record-breaking 37 seconds and earned triple platinum certification within an hour.

Dimash also launched his new concert program ARNAU, featuring songs from American, Chinese, and Korean artists.
The Astana Opera Theater orchestra continues touring with Dimash, while his father serves as producer after leaving his high-ranking position at the Aktobe Department of Culture to support his son's career. The singer spends most of his time in China, where he signed a contract with the Black Gold Talent label. The Kazakh artist also collaborates with the American company BMG, which works with such stars as Madonna, Rihanna and Beyonce.
In 2019, the singer received a master's degree and was preparing to work on his doctoral thesis. He believes solid musical education is essential for any professional artist and doesn't plan to limit himself to just singing in the future. He plans to compose complex musical forms like sonatas, sonatinas, and arias, then transition into teaching and founding his own music academy after his concert career winds down.

Throughout 2020, Dimash kept surprising fans with fresh material. This included the video "Across Endless Dimensions," which racked up around 2 million YouTube views, plus the music video "Qairan Elim," which thrilled fans just as much.

The singer has delivered both live audience performances and online shows, earning several international awards along the way. Among them are the JSTYLE 2019 Awards and The 10th DoNews RenRen Awards Ceremony in China and the People's Favorite 2019 Award at home, in Kazakhstan.

At the beginning of 2020, Dimash received the Kazakhstan prize "People's Favorite" in the nomination "Cultural Worker of the Year". His large-scale Agpai Tour 2020 concert series was cut short by the coronavirus pandemic. Shows were rescheduled, and in early 2021 Dimash hosted an online concert that drew viewers from a hundred countries worldwide.
