So, finally, the most long-awaited event for tens of thousands of admirers of Selim Alakhyarov's talent happened - our wonderful singer Selim Alakhyarov, thanks to the warm support of the viewers, won the grandiose song television project "Voice" and now officially bears the title of "The Best Voice of the Country"! But first things first...
A few minutes ago, the final of the most popular and large-scale competition "Voice" on Channel One ended. This broadcast attracted unprecedented attention of the Lezgin, Dagestan and Caucasian audiences - at the final stage of the competition, the talented Lezgin singer Selim Alakhyarov shone.
Last Friday, December 22, thanks to the support of fellow countrymen and admirers of his talent, our performer managed to win a place in the final of the competition. You can't think of a better gift for his 30th birthday, which Selim celebrated the next day.
“It's my birthday in ten minutes. I'm turning 30, it's my birthday. And this is a huge gift from all the people who voted for me. Dear friends, thank you so much for believing in me. I will justify your trust!”, - Selim said in an interview with Channel One immediately after the semi-final.
It should be noted that there were some dramatic moments here as well. Our singer's mentor Alexander Gradsky according to the results of the performances of his wards, he gave his vote to Selim's competitor and teammate - Laura Gorbunova(60% versus 40% in favor of the latter). However, it was people's love (74.2% of the votes of the audience) that allowed Alakhyarov to confidently get into the final. As a result, the Dagestan singer became the best in his team and got the right to fight for the main award of the competition.
In an interview with Channel One, Selim said that the idea of choosing a song (recall, he performed the complex song “Lyrical” by the legendary Vladimir Vysotsky) for the semi-finals belongs to mentor Gradsky. “I am not afraid of experiments, I am an opera singer. I was ready to try, and, apparently, it worked!, - Alakhyarov emphasized.
It should be noted that the Lezghin singer has repeatedly admitted that he is always charged to achieve success, to get the maximum in any endeavors. “I am a winner in life and I plan to win. I want to dedicate the victory to the unity and friendship of our peoples.”, - Selim said in a Friday interview.
It must be said that Selim's support is really powerful. All over the country, his fan groups have been created, through social networks, mailing lists are being sent with calls to vote for Alakhyarov. Well-known media personalities of Dagestan, stage colleagues, famous artists and athletes, public figures and politicians expressed their support for him. The path of Selim within the framework of the show "Voices", from blind auditions to the very final, is monitored and covered by the republican and Caucasian media.
It is important to emphasize that the support of our performer is not limited to Dagestan or the Caucasus, although the votes of fellow countrymen are, if not key, then undoubtedly of great importance, the whole country fell in love with him, all of Russia votes for him.
Selim Alakhyarov long and stubbornly walked towards this success, worked hard on himself. He had to work hard (not always in a creative plane) to make his way to the big stage. So, in the early stages of the career of a talented guy who showed great promise, she supported, among other things, the FLNKA, they helped him in Dagestan. To Selim's credit, he managed to more than justify the trust placed in him.
Selim told the correspondent of the Lezgi Autonomy about the last hours of preparation on the eve of the final:
“I’m going to the final with a fighting mood, however, I’m a little sick. Fighting mood, we will fight for the first place, only for the victory. As I said at the beginning, when I just joined the project, it is not participation that is important, but victory. We will fight for the first place.
The condition, of course, has been better, but the mood, morale, psychologically I feel better than ever. In principle, everything is fine. I'll show you what I can do. I am confident in my abilities.
According 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. The third song will be absolutely uncharacteristic for me, this is a kind of experiment, and we decided to try.
In conclusion, I want to ask everyone to support me in this battle for the first place. I ask everyone to carefully listen to the conditions that the presenter Dmitry Nagiyev will explain. And maybe we can bring the cup home.”.

Salim was born in Chechnya, and then moved to Derbent with his family. There he began to study vocals. After leaving school, the young man entered the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music. During his studies, Selim Alakhyarov took part in many Russian and international competitions.
When Alexander Gradsky first heard the singer's voice at the casting, he noted the purity and "intelligibility" of his vocals, and at one of the performances he even burst into tears from the "heartfelt performance".
Selim Alakhyarov, a member of the "Voice", few people know his biography. This is a singer born in 1987, who has been successful in his creative activity for a long time. He graduated from a music school. By nationality, he is a Lezgin. Selim also works in the field of advertising, previously participated in the modeling business. At the 6th season of the Voice talent show, Selim deservedly won first place, beating other contestants.
Selim was born in 1987 in the capital of the Chechen Republic - the city of Grozny. Selim is a Lezgin by nationality. From childhood Alakhyarov was a true patriot. So, when he was offered to take Azerbaijani citizenship in order to study in Italy, he refused for patriotic reasons. Until now, the artist is a member of many Dagestan public associations and performs at their concerts.
The Selim family are intelligent, educated people. It is known that his father is a surgeon. But his mother had a great influence on the formation of the boy. She is a vocal teacher, thanks to which she was able to notice the talent of the child early and direct him in the right direction. It was she who noticed that the boy was able to take 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 the citizenship of Azerbaijan. Alakhyarov refused, having already shown patriotism at such an early age.
However, this refusal was not the point in the musical career of the 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, well-known in Selim's homeland, helped (Kazhlaev is also known for his works as a composer).
He assigned the boy to the high-ranking and well-known Academy of Choral Art, located in the capital of the Russian Federation. However, again, the boy was not given training: he had good data, but the family could not afford expensive training. Without completing his studies, Alakhyarov returned to Grozny.
Then the teenager went to Makhachkala. Here he was trained at the Gasanov Music School, after which the training of Selim Alakhyarov, the future member of 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 did not live in Moscow, but in the Moscow region - in the city of Krasnogorsk. Therefore, the difficulties of movement were added to the material difficulties: the trip to the educational institution took at least 2 hours. However, the barriers did not bother the singer, who stubbornly followed the path of musical education.
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 the recognition of teachers.
His talents were so highly appreciated that the only student from the whole stream was taken for additional training in choral singing.
Dmitry Vdovin, part-time head of the International School of Vocal Mastery, became his mentor. Among Alakhyarov's mentors were other eminent people. Largely thanks to them, Selim was able to perform well in public and win the favor of the public.
Throughout the study, the family struggled to cope with financial difficulties. According to Selim's mother, she often wanted to give up. However, the singer inspired his family with his own singing and diligence in studies. Because of 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, because Alakhyarov really managed to reach 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 and choral singing all his life. However, he sincerely loves the pop direction, or rather, the direction of "neoclassicism". As idols and role models, the singer uses the work of foreign performers. He believes that neoclassicism is not sufficiently developed in Russia.
When performing pop songs, Selim always maintains an academic style of singing, considering it the best way to sing (at least for himself). For a blind audition on the show "Voice", the participant of the show chose just a pop song that ideally suited him to the timbre of his voice, and performed it according to the rules of the Academy.
Unusual preferences in the style of singing played a special role in the career of Selim Alakhyarov, a participant in the Voice project, and changed his biography.
Participation in the show "Voice"
The main event in the life of Selim was participation in the talent show "Voice". This program helped him become famous throughout Russia, and also made it possible to glorify his own homeland (the artist emphasizes how important this is to him). Although Alakhyarov attracted the attention of music experts before, it was only after participating in a television show that he received special recognition from the public.
At a blind audition, a man performed the song "Ferris Wheel". He was previously aimed at collaborating with. In the end, it was this mentor who chose him.
He stressed that he likes Selim's singing, but he also hears inaccurate notes. The rest of the artist's mentors were not chosen, 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 accepts people who also love him into his team.
Under the guidance of his mentor, Selim went through all stages of the competition, changing partners for singing. He performed songs not only in Russian, but also in English. At the same time, the participant's singing in the second round especially touched both the audience and the mentors.
Impressions about 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 the big stage in front of the jury of different countries, but none of the programs caused him such awe. Due to his excitement, he almost failed in his blind audition for the show. Gradsky noticed a discrepancy in notes in Alakhyarov's song, to which Selim replied that he was very worried and problems could be because of this.
In any case, the mentor helped the show participant overcome his fears, and there were no more problems with further performances. No wonder the singer took first place in this competition.
In the future, Selim repeatedly thanked the representatives of the program for giving him the opportunity to participate in such an important project. Relatives and friends of the singer (they, according to the tradition of the program, were present at the shooting) 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 became 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. Lyubov Kazarnovskaya, member of the Golden Voice jury, invited to the program.
Singer's personal life
Despite the fact that Selim Alakhyarov, a member of Golos, speaks openly about his biography and maintains accounts on social networks, nothing is known about his personal life. A man willingly uploads photos from social and work events, shares photos with his family (brother, mother) with subscribers. However, the chosen one of the artist was not seen in the photographs, and there are no rumors about any relationship between Selim and 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 engaged in social activities, and tries to glorify his homeland. Another theory put forward by fans is that Selim prefers not to talk about his sympathies and affections, since he clearly distinguishes between personal and public life.
Further news about the career of Selim Alakhyarov from the Voice show, about his personal biography can be obtained from social networks. The artist maintains a page on Instagram, which he regularly updates, delighting his fans.
