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.
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.
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.

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."





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.
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.


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.

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.

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.
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.

Dimash also launched his new concert program ARNAU, featuring songs from American, Chinese, and Korean artists.
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.
