I was watching Dimash's video of his recording of Samal.  There was one part where a man Galeke explained very well one critical aspect of Dimash's art.  I felt touched by it and wanted to share it here. "Galeke, what do you think?" "A very heartfelt song, I think people will like it. God willing..." Galeke continued : "Music is the foundation of everything. Even in my profession. No jokes, no pathos, no overacting." "We listen to music, get inspired, and then create something.  I just listened to the demo of this song for the first time, and it really sparks my imagination." "When you listen to other modern artists, to other music in general, if it doesn’t create imagery in your head, I think it’s not that there’s no soul in it, but that there’s no storyline, like in a film." He talked about 'Samal' : "Even without fully understanding the lyrics, you can already feel and grasp the atmosphere of this drama." ...

 It's crazy concert season again!  Dimash just announced a New World Tour and that means the fandom is bracing for ticket websites to open!  Here are 20 important things to watch out for when buying concert tickets: Before You Buy  1 - Buy from official sources whenever possible Use the artist's official website, venue website, or authorized ticketing partners. DON'T GOOGLE. Scammers/scalpers boost their sites to rank high in Google searches. 2 - Beware of scalpers and unauthorized resellers Tickets may be overpriced, duplicated, or completely fake. 3 - Check whether ticket resale is permitted Some events prohibit transfers and may invalidate resold tickets. You might not be allowed to enter concert venue. 4 - Verify the event details Confirm the date, venue, city, and performance time before purchasing. 5 - Watch for fake websites Scammers often create websites that closely resemble legitimate ticket sellers. 6 - Be cautious of social media sellers Screenshots of ti...

 Every fan community has a limited resource that is more valuable than money: fan energy. We all bring different skills, interests, and amounts of free time. Some fans focus on streaming, others on buying music, creating content, organizing projects, translating, promoting concerts, running social media accounts, managing websites, designing merchandise, or supporting digital platforms such as iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, Qobuz, and Instagram. For Dimash fans, there is never a shortage of worthwhile activities. Between supporting new songs, promoting projects, creating reels and videos, organizing pre-parties, helping with translations, preparing for concerts, and celebrating milestones such as The Singer 2017 song anniversaries or Virtuosos concert memories, there are always more ideas than available hours. The challenge is not a lack of enthusiasm. The challenge is deciding where our collective energy can have the greatest impact. Should the focus be on streaming? Music purchases? S...

 Being part of a fan community should be fun, exciting, and rewarding. Unfortunately, scammers and bad actors often target fans because they know how passionate we are about supporting our favourite artists.      Before you click, donate, buy, or share, take a moment to think: ❓ Is this ticket seller legitimate? ❓ Is this fundraising campaign transparent? ❓ Is this profile really connected to the artist? ❓ Is this link safe to open? ❓ Have I enabled 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) on my account? Common risks faced by fans include: ⚠️ Fake tickets ⚠️ Fake profiles and impersonators ⚠️ Suspicious donation requests ⚠️ Phishing scams ⚠️ Clickbait and misleading content ⚠️ Account security threats ⚠️ Concert fraud The best protection is knowledge. Always verify information through official sources, protect your personal information, and think twice before sending money or sharing account details. A strong fan community doesn't just support the artist—it also looks out for o...

 Every year, fan communities devote enormous amounts of time and energy to voting campaigns. Fans watch advertisements, collect votes, recruit others to participate, and sometimes spend weeks focused on a single online poll. But it is worth asking: what are fans really gaining in return? A voting platform should inspire confidence through transparency, fairness, reliability, and strong privacy protections.  Which is not what we are getting from certain voting platforms. Many users from several fandoms have expressed concerns about votings, citing technical issues, voting irregularities, excessive advertising, and a lack of transparency about how results are calculated. If you ever feel curious about a certain voting campaign, just google and you might find related comments all over the Internet.  If a voting app is required, just check Appstore or Google Play Store reviews about that app. A BIG concern is privacy. To participate effectively, users are often encouraged to ...

 How I have waited to see this moment — Dimash mentoring and guiding another singer in the recording of a song he himself wrote. It feels like a natural and meaningful next step in his artistic journey. After years of establishing himself as an extraordinary performer on the global stage, this transition into songwriting and mentorship represents a logical evolution — one that reflects maturity, artistic confidence, and a desire to pass on experience rather than only perform. There is something quietly powerful about watching an artist move from interpretation to creation, and then from creation to guidance. It shows a deeper layer of musicianship — one that is not only about voice and performance, but about shaping sound, emotion, and another artist’s expression. And in 'Samal', that development becomes visible in a very real and human way. Nurzhas is undeniably talented. There is a freshness and sincerity in his presence that makes the collaboration feel alive and authentic. ...

 When I first started following Dimash, the first thing that struck me was the overwhelming realization that I was witnessing a prodigy. A true prodigy. No other word feels adequate. I had lived long enough, listened to enough singers, and explored enough genres of music to know when I was hearing something genuinely extraordinary. My taste has always been eclectic, and because of that, I recognised immediately that Dimash possessed a rare and exceptional gift. What surprised me, however, was that not everyone seemed to see it. Yes, he was already causing chaos in airports and arenas across China, drawing huge crowds and intense reactions wherever he went. But outside of that, I often found myself wondering: why weren’t more people talking about him? Were they simply not hearing what I was hearing? Over time, I’ve come to understand that people experience art differently. Not everyone connects to the same voice, the same performance, or the same emotional impact. What makes me genu...

 Some performances stay with you long after the music ends — and the songs Dimash brought to 'Voice Beyond Horizon' are definitely among them. I created a playlist of the powerful, emotional and vocally breathtaking songs that made the project such a memorable experience for many listeners. 🔥 'Fire' burns with intensity and purpose — a song filled with bold lyrics, dramatic energy and a fascinating blend of vocal styles that only Dimash could weave together so seamlessly. From rock textures to soaring high notes and emotional storytelling, it feels like a statement piece. 🦅 'Samgau' carries the spirit of rising higher, calling upon his people to soar with courage, pride and hope. The song feels both deeply personal and universal at the same time. 😎 'Living For The Game' brings drive, rhythm and determination, showcasing another side of Dimash’s artistry and stage presence. 💫 'When I’ve Got You' reminds us of the emotional warmth and sincerit...

 Every year, I and my fellow admin team members try to think of projects that are worthy of Dimash.  Something meaningful, something that would get a nod of approval from him... presumably.  But the projects also have to be doable because an international fan group faces many obstacles.   First, collection of money is a problem because any flow of money across international borders triggers multiple alerts.   Second, the admin team members are from all over the world and we don't have funds for physical meetings, which is necessary for most 'big' projects.  So we are usually limited to personal projects that we can run individually... or curated content creation based on individual activity organised or suggested in the main group. This year was special because of Dimash's project 'Voice Beyond Horizon'.  It was his first project as a producer and it was done so well that it generated billlions of views and I believe it also established his c...

 On the 'Voice Beyond Horizon' episode finale, Dimash and Mansur performed the song 'When I've Got You' so very very well. Watching the two, I could see how much more confident and self-assured Dimash is in performing in English... and the audience reaction was so favourable.  Especially from the women.  He was definitely radiating some serious heat on that stage.  As for Mansur, it was such a pleasure seeing how he has transformed from that hesitant shy young man to a more poised musician in tune with his instrument. I look forward to seeing him bloom and fly high.

  EP12 (April 23, 2026)  Mango TV website   Program FINALE!  A journey of 22 days and 7436 kilometres came to an end at Nazarbayev University, fittingly because it was the birthplace of this Belt and Road initiative. Warning : This is not an objective review ... I was in full-on fan mode! To kick off the show, judge Cai Guoqing presented a song  三百六十五个祝福  Sānbǎi liùshíwǔ gè zhùfú (365 Blessings) La Danzhu  and  Zhang Xinyu  (both from China) – performed ' 波阿妞妞 ' Fèng huáng yi (Phoenix)  Fresh with inspiration from the Pink Lake, both sang of the confidence and strength of women. Zhang, in her sparkling red gown, opened strong and La Danzhu, serene in white and gold, swooped in with her signature ethereal notes. Had goosebumps on my forearms!  This could be an anthem for women as they move forward. Jeryl Lee Pei Ling  (Malaysia) and  Princ  (Serbia) – performed  Love Will Never Die   The performance bega...

 Kursiv Media Kazakhstan published an article where Dimash talked about the business of song and navigating the modern industry.  It sheds some light on what a veteran thinks of the changing music industry landscape.  Yerlan Iskakov reported : Kazakh singer Dimash Qudaibergen described music as a powerful diplomatic tool during an interview at the Freedom Inside 2026 forum in Astana. «Music is an indispensable diplomatic tool. I will continue my work in this direction. Our arms are always open to anyone who wants to be friends with our people and Kazakhstan,» he said. «Music is a magical phenomenon. I don’t have enough words to describe its power,» he added. Regarding AI’s growing role in music, Dimash addressed the increasing use of artificial intelligence in music, admitting that more songs are now being created with AI, including some high-quality works. While he has not personally used such tools, he acknowledged their growing importance. «You have to move with the t...

 Seeing Dimash in the piano seat, I am immediately reminded of Igor Krutoy playing the piano for Dimash's performances.  Now it is his turn to support another.  And Nurzhas Sadirbayev is an absolute monster of a talent.  His singing is incredible... very emotive and he can navigate intricate vocal pathways. This song is a beauty.  But yes, that is a given, seeing it was composed by Dimash.

 Watching and listening to the Gashyqtyq music video, I see the look on Dimash's face and can feel how intense his emotions are. But when I read the subtitles and see the translation of 'gashyqtyq' to 'infatuation', I cannot believe it. Infatuation is such a 'poor' word because it is something fleeting and disappears too fast. Yes, it is intense but it is too shallow an emotion to merit the level of passion in Dimash's singing.  I also know that a story is always best understood in its original language and translations can only hope to offer pale shadows of the tale. So today I decided to find out what 'Gashyqtyq' actually meant and this is what I found on the Internet. "Gashyqtyq" (pronounced Hash-Shya-Terk) is a Kazakh term for a profound, deep, and often, painful state of being in love, transcending mere infatuation. It represents a spiritual closeness, intense passion, and total emotional attachment where the loved one occupies you...
