Due to the terms of participation in the project, unfortunately, I cannot disclose information about which compositions I will perform in the final. Three songs are planned - one with a mentor and two solo songs. One song is very famous, which absolutely everyone knows and loves, the other is also very beautiful, which I like.

In conclusion, I would like to ask everyone to support me in this battle for first place. I ask everyone to listen carefully to the conditions that the presenter Dmitry Nagiyev will explain. And maybe we can bring the cup home".

Biography of Selim Alakhyarov
Selim Alakhyarov was born into a Lezgin family in the city of Grozny, Chechen Republic. His mother is a vocal coach, so Selim was first “discovered” as an up-and-coming voice within his own family. His mother worked with him a lot, as a result of which Selim began to travel to various competitions and festivals. His singing career was temporarily interrupted when the young man began to experience a loss of voice, which lasted three years and prevented him from going to study in Italy at Pavarotti’s school.
Selim graduated from high school in Makhachkala, after which he entered the Gottfried Hasanov Music School, and then became a student at the Gnessin Moscow State Music College (academic singing).
Selim Alakhyarov and the show Voice on Channel One 6
In 2017, Selim successfully passed the blind auditions for the sixth season of the famous TV show “The Voice” and ended up in the team of Alexander Gradsky. The song that the young singer chose to perform at the audition is “Ferris Wheel” by Muslim Magomayev. According to Selim himself, this composition is optimal for his voice timbre. The competition jury readily approved this choice of song, since it had never been performed on the show before.
Selim Alakhyarov: “I admit that I was very worried, standing on stage, there was even jitters. After all, I represented my republic of Dagestan, and this is a big responsibility. It’s no secret that the Caucasian mentality is like this - we are not used to losing!”
Selim's performance at the blind audition caused a response from Gradsky, who was the only one of the judges to turn to the voice of the Dagestan performer towards the end of the song. If you believe Selim’s words, he initially wanted to get into Alexander Borisovich’s team.
Selim Alakhyarov: “As an artist, I would not like to work in opera house, I want to sing on stage, just stick to academic performance. The standard in this genre for me are Italian performers - Andrea Bocelli and Alexander Safino.”
Selim Alakhyarov, a participant in “The Voice,” is known to few people for his biography. This is a singer born in 1987, who long time achieved success in creative activity. He graduated from music school. He is Lezgin by nationality. Selim also works in the field of advertising, previously participated in modeling business. On the 6th season of the talent show “The Voice”, Selim deservedly won first place, beating other contestants.
Selim was born in 1987 in the capital Chechen Republic- the city of Grozny. Selim Lezgin by nationality. Since childhood, Alakhyarov was a true patriot. Thus, when he was offered to accept Azerbaijani citizenship for the sake of studying in Italy, he refused for patriotic reasons. Until now, the artist is a member of many Dagestan public associations and performs at their concerts.
Selim's family is intelligent, educated people. It is known that his father is a surgeon. But his mother had a great influence on the boy’s development. She is a vocal teacher, thanks to which she was able to notice the child’s talent early and guide him in the right direction. It was she who noticed that the boy was able to play complex notes of academic compositions.
Selim was only 8 years old when the Italian ambassador to Azerbaijan invited him to go to the country of his dreams. However, there was one condition - to accept Azerbaijani citizenship. Alakhyarov refused, having already shown patriotism at such an early age.
However, this refusal was not the point musical career future singer. In 1999, when the child was 12 years old, he was again given help from above. Murad Kazhlaev, a teacher of Dagestan origin, known in Selim’s homeland, helped (Kazhlaev is also known for his works as a composer).
He enrolled the boy in the high-ranking and famous Academy of Choral Arts, located in the capital of the Russian Federation. However, again the boy’s education was not successful: he had good abilities, but the family could not afford the expensive education. Without completing his studies, Alakhyarov returned to Grozny.
Then the teenager went to Makhachkala. Here he was trained at music school Hasanov, after which the training of Selim Alakhyarov, a future participant in “The Voice,” and his biography took a sharp turn.
Higher education and moving to Moscow
After graduating from college, Alakhyarov decided to try his hand again and went to Moscow. His goal was to enter the Gnessin School. His family also went with him.
Due to the difficult financial situation, Selim lived not in Moscow, but in the Moscow region - in the city of Krasnogorsk. Therefore, to the material difficulties were added the difficulties of movement: travel to educational institution took at least 2 hours. However, the obstacles did not bother the singer, who stubbornly followed the path of musical training.
He managed to pass the competition at the Gnessin School. The demand for a place at the university was great - 5 people per place. However, Selim was able to break through and even soon earned recognition from teachers.
His talents were so highly appreciated that the student, the only one from the entire stream, was accepted for additional training choral singing.
His mentor was Dmitry Vdovin, part-time head of the International School of Vocal Mastery. Among Alakhyarov’s mentors there were other eminent people. Largely thanks to them, Selim was able to perform well in public and gain the favor of the public.
Throughout my studies, the family had difficulty coping with financial difficulties. According to Selim’s mother, he often wanted to give up. However, the singer inspired his family with his own singing and diligence in his studies. Thanks to this, they held on. The mother decided that she would never give up until her son achieved his goal. Now all the material difficulties are behind us, because Alakhyarov really managed to achieve great heights.
The man brought additional income to the family by participating in the modeling business (more details below).
Singing style preferences
Selim studied academic as well as choral singing all his life. However, he sincerely loves the pop movement, or more precisely, the “neoclassicism” movement. The singer uses the works of foreign performers. He believes that neoclassicism is not developed enough in Russia.
When performing pop songs, Selim always maintains an academic style of singing, considering this the optimal way of singing (at least for himself). For a blind audition on the show “The Voice,” a participant in the show chose just a pop song that perfectly suited his voice timbre, and performed it according to the rules of the Academy.
Unusual preferences in singing style played a role special role in the career of Selim Alakhyarov, a participant in the “Voice” project, and changed his biography.
Participation in the show "The Voice"
The main event in Selim’s life was participation in the talent show “The Voice”. This program helped him become famous throughout Russia, and also gave him the opportunity to glorify his own homeland (the artist emphasizes how important this is to him). Although Alakhyarov had previously attracted the attention of music experts, only after participating in television show he received special public recognition.
At the blind audition, the man performed the song “Ferris Wheel.” He was previously aimed at collaborating with. In the end, it was this mentor who chose him.
He emphasized that he likes Selim’s singing, but he also hears inaccurate notes. The rest of the mentors did not choose the artist, but, as another mentor, Pelageya, explained, she did not respond only because she knew: Alakhyarov would not go to anyone except Gradsky. It is Gradsky who specializes in pop singing and takes into his team people who also love him.
Under the guidance of his mentor, Selim went through all stages of the competition, changing singing partners. He performed songs not only in Russian, but also in English language. At the same time, the participant’s singing in the second round especially touched both the audience and the mentors.
Impressions of participating in the “Voice” program
Selim, according to his own statements, was very worried before the competition, dreaming of taking part in the program. Behind him are many performances on big stage before the jury representatives different countries, however, none of the programs caused such awe in him. Due to his anxiety, he almost failed the blind audition for the show. Gradsky noticed a discrepancy between the notes in Alakhyarov’s song, to which Selim replied that he was very worried and there could be problems because of this.
In any case, the mentor helped the show participant overcome his fears, and there were no more problems during further performances. It’s not for nothing that the singer took first place in this competition.
Subsequently, Selim repeatedly thanked the program representatives for giving him the opportunity to participate in such an important project. The singer’s relatives and friends (they, according to tradition of the program, were present at the filming) also spoke very positively about the show and the artist’s participation in it.
Other successes in the field of music
The real rise in the field of music began in 2016, in September. Then he won the “Golden Voice of Russia”, receiving the Grand Prix. This victory was significant for him: the singer was noticed and invited to participate in the television show “Duet with a Star.” There, the artist not only performed, but also underwent an additional internship. A member of the Golden Voice jury, Lyubov Kazarnovskaya, invited me to the program.
The singer's personal life
Despite the fact that Selim Alakhyarov, a participant in “The Voice,” openly talks about his biography and maintains accounts on social networks, about him personal life nothing is known. The man willingly posts photos from social and work events, and shares photos with his family (brother, mother) with subscribers. However, the artist’s chosen one was not seen in the photographs, and there are no rumors about any relationship between Selim and members of the opposite sex.
The lack of personal life can be explained by Alakhyarov’s heavy workload, because he not only performs and participates in competitive projects, but also works in the field of PR, is involved in social activities, tries to glorify his homeland. Another theory put forward by fans is that Selim prefers not to talk about his likes and affections, since he clearly distinguishes between his personal and public life.
Further news about the career of Selim Alakhyarov from the show “The Voice” and his personal biography can be obtained from social networks. The artist maintains a page on Instagram, which he regularly updates, delighting his fans.
