Emin was born into the family of a well-known Azerbaijani businessman Aras Agalarov. My father owns the Crocus group of companies operating in Russia. In 1983 the family moved to Moscow.
In addition to the American University, the singer studied at a Swiss private school. Despite the connections, the artist independently launched a business project in his student years. He specialized in selling clothes and shoes in New York.
Emin business
Emin Agalarov returned to the Russian capital in 2001. Here he took the post of commercial director in his father's company. For several years, it was entrepreneurship that was the main one for the future singer.

According to the singer, he considers himself not only a businessman. He tries to set priorities more clearly, giving preference not only to business negotiations, but also to stage performances.
At the same time, less important matters no longer concern Emin. Thus, he manages to be successful in two areas. Hard work and perseverance are the secret of Agalarov's success.
Emin's musical career
Emin's role model was the legendary Elvis Presley. The future singer got acquainted with his work at the age of 10, after which the music remained forever in his heart.
No wonder many experts say that Agalarov's performance style is similar to the style of an American. For the first time, the performer appeared on stage at the age of 18. The performance took place at a concert in New Jersey.
Then Emin led his own amateur group. Young people often performed in local bars. Thus, the singer gained experience, and also studied the interests of the public.
There was no incredible success, but Agalarov was charged with positive energy and motivation to continue his activities. It was then that Emin understood the difference between amateur and professional performances.
Debut album Still
Nevertheless, the release of the first album took place many years later. The album was released only in 2006. At the same time, Emin wanted to sing all his life. The dream lurked in him both during his student days and during the period of active business.

In 2011, Emin signed a contract with a recording studio from Germany. Thanks to this, his album was distributed in Western Europe. In addition, the partnership allowed him to release two records to the Western market.
