Anyone interested in getting to know a well known singer in other parts of the world - and getting more popular here in the States?

Simply known as "Dimash"

His full name is Dimash Qudaibergen

Dimash is a 6'3" (only putting that in there because I thought he was on the shorter side - and was amazed he was that tall), 29 year singer/composer from Kazakhstan with a 6-octave and 2 semitones voice. (A2 to D8 with a highest whistle tone of G7)

He's is university trained in classical and contemporary music, has performed songs in 13 languages and plays 7 different instruments.

From online: "Although offered a position at the Astana Opera, he decided to carve out his career in contemporary music, mixing classical elements and traditional Kazakh music with pop music. He graduated from college with a degree in Classical Music as well as a Master's Degree in Composition by defending his Master's thesis with a perfect score and received a recommendation for admission to doctoral studies in music."

Here's a few to get you started!

The Story of One Sky (composed and sung by Dimash) Video: (12 minutes long, but well worth it) (The story is his conception also. Most expensive music video ever done at $7 million. The saved boy at beginning is the soldier later in video - which is acted by Dimash) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Psjws97FoA

Live version of The Story of One Sky (amazing!). (has English captions if you turn them on. It's in English, but captions still help) From 3rd hour of his Almaty, Kazakhstan concert. Starts at 25:35 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP1r9wlkmHU&t=2264s

I agree. Came across Dimash on YouTube a while back and keep thinking he’s got to be one of the best vocalists ever. He’s a great entertainer as well. Very gifted but also very, very hardworking. He sings the Diva Dance song, for those who mentioned it.
