Zhasulan Sadykov Biography

In the anniversary for the group, we talk with him about how to develop an unusual genre of Kazakhstani stage - a classic crossover. We are not ready for our music - Zhasulan, what has changed in the life of the Mezzo group in ten years? Therefore, stability is already success. But, despite her, we experimented a lot. Recorded their album. Although it was very difficult to select material for him.

We still work in an unusual genre-we take all the beauty and fullness of the sound of classic vocals, combine it with fashionable arrangements, pop chips. And add a little orchestral sound. Neither the composers nor the arrangers are ready for this. Therefore, our album turned out to be quite uneven. The songs are very different.

This was the sound we wanted to achieve. The clip, which we shot to this song in Tashkent, is quite popular on Youutube. Different genres. Including those who are close to a classic sound. But we have a little different goals with them. We will not meet songs with the Tunz-Tunz, written specifically for Toyev. I will not hide, we also perform at events. But inviting us is always very expensive.

And before quarantine, we could afford to perform three to four times a month. We always do it high quality. But TOS have never been an end in itself for us. Because first of all we are engaged in art. I think this distinguishes our group, and this is what allowed us to not turn to another path in ten years and not slide exclusively in the Toysk history. We are like -minded people, and we have common values.

We were very lucky with the producer, and he was with us. So just meet your own - luck. Therefore, we can say, we are just lucky. What did the group do during this period? They also opened the Mezzo vocal school and teach those who want to develop in this. As for me personally, even before the pandemic I was seriously carried away by streams. The YouTube channels of the group of 40 thousand subscribers were engaged in the YouTube channels of the group and four times fewer subscribers and thought somehow that it would be cool to speak live.

I tried it, and I liked it so much that now it is part of my life. For three months, I became a partner of the Twitch platform. This means that I can already work with commercial brands and have advertising income. Three times a week I am air, communicate with Stream participants, sing what they ask. Each time, a little less than a hundred people are looking at me. This is not very much, but my audience is devoted and stable.

Many support the donates. I realized that to be able to conduct a stream, to hold the audience, so that they would be interested in for more than one hour, is very difficult. But this is my right. I'm high from this. Plus it is interesting creatively. In the beginning of Stream, I never know what I have to sing today. In America and South Korea, Streammer is an official type of activity, people pay taxes.

It’s hard to get used to it for this, but I'm sure that the future is behind the streams. For an adult audience - how popular is the classic performance among the audience and how are the MEZZO groups are related to this popularity? We treat him too. We rather work for an adult formed audience than youth. Yes, now the classic performance has become more for the audience.

The influence of the cultural phenomenon of Dimash Kudaibergen cannot but admit. But for the audience of Dimash, for the most part, only he exists. But the fact that the audience has more has more is already good. Although we never focus on trends, we always make plans based on ourselves. We write music, we are looking for a new sound, we develop, evolve. I think we still have many discoveries ahead.
