Biography

He made his debut on the stage when he was 10 years old in Baikonur. He came forward together with such performers, as Meirambek Bespaev, Nurlan Onerbayev and Toktar Serikov. Kairat released his first single and his debut album in 2006 but his breakthrough came when he gave his first solo concert in 2008 in Almaty. Although his level of recognition was low, after that concert, his popularity started a continuous rise.

He has interpreted the songs of prominent Kazakh composers such as Shamshy Kaldayakov, Aset Beiseuov, Erzhan Serikbayev.

The premiere of feature film, Ökiniş, (Regret) was announced in April 2013, being a melodramatic history about his life as a singer. His mother Gulzira Aidarbekova produces and sponsors his performances.[3]
