Gafur is a singer, performer of piercing pieces of music, and a lyricist. Gafur is a representative of RAAVA (the label quickly broke into the music market in 2019). The artist's tracks occupy top positions on various streaming platforms.
The artist's lyrical works deserve special attention. He knows how to convey the mood of such tracks. Fans say he is, we quote, "sings in the shower."
Childhood and youth Gafur Isakhanov
The artist's date of birth is April 14, 1998. The artist is Uzbek by nationality. His childhood passed in Tashkent. The guy was brought up in a family that was far from the world of show business in general. The head of the family is a successful businessman. Mom gave herself to the family - she is a housewife.
Music for little Gafur became the main hobby. At the age of three, he first heard the legendary tracks Michael Jackson. Then he still had little understanding of music, but he fell in love with the driving motives of the songs of the king of the American pop scene.
By the way, over the years, love for the work of Michael Jackson only grew stronger. At school, Gafur was definitely popular due to the successful copying of the dance steps of an American artist.
During his school years, he had little interest in subjects. Even then, he correctly prioritized. The first place in his life orientation was occupied by music.
Around the same period of time, he worked in the theater. In addition, Gafur earned money by singing at corporate parties. But, the singing career did not develop immediately. He had to fight hard for his dream. We quote: “Sometimes they offered me money so that I just wouldn’t sing.” By the way, self-irony - he definitely can not be taken away.
The first failures did not break the purposeful guy. He spent a whole year studying the wisdom of vocals. The young man listened to the artists and tried to understand the process of creating tracks. He admitted that for some time he worked on melodic sound embellishments (melismas) like Justin Bieber.
Reference: Melismas are various melodic decorations of sound that do not change the tempo and rhythmic pattern of the melody.
Films with the participation of Gafur Isakhanov
Gafur's acting career developed much more successfully. As a teenager, the guy not only actively participated in the filming of commercials. He got the lead role in the film Soy Qo'shig'i. In 2019, his game could be watched in the film “Rising from the Ashes” (Uzbekfilm, 2019).
Special attention deserves the fact that Gafur himself performed complex tricks. The actor did not use the services of stuntmen. After filming, he said that he was injured, but, most importantly, he became more experienced in some things.
Despite the rapid development of his creative career, Gafur does not have a specialized education. Parents wanted their son to get a serious profession, so for three years he studied in college as a dentist.
But, even in college, Gafur did not waste time in vain. In his first year, he composed an author's piece of music. He presented the composition to the parents.
Parents who had previously doubted the creative inclinations of their offspring changed their minds. The father liked the work of Gafur, and he decided to support his son. The head of the family made a generous gift: he gave his son a recording studio with the necessary musical equipment.
The creative path of the singer Gafur
The artist's singing career began with the fact that he recorded covers and uploaded them to various Internet sites. The artist closely followed the work of Elman Zeynalov, who during this period of time just became a participant in the rating musical reality show "Star Factory".
In addition, Gafur heard the musical work of the singer Andro "Fire Lady". The song "touched" the artist's ears, and he decided to buy the song. Andro refused to sell the work, but offered Gafur a collaboration. Andro agreed to write a composition for the artist.
Communication began between the musicians. The guys exchanged "demos" of tracks, corresponded on Instagram, and in the end, they became close friends.
Later, Gafur visited the capital of Russia to take part in one music competition. Andro graciously agreed to receive his comrade at his home. There, he met Joni and Elman. Subsequently, the guys "put together" the backbone of the RAAVA label. The artists did not make big plans for Gafur. He returned back to Uzbekistan and continued to develop what he started.
Egor Creed and Gafur
In the creative biography of Gafur there was a place for a small scandal. It concerns the similarity of Yegor Creed's song "The Time Has Not Come" to the Gafur track. Elman was the first to pay attention to this. He wrote to Gafur and asked the artist to drop all demos. The singer quickly realized that Gafur could create top songs.
Elman listened to Gafur's work and made him an advantageous offer. The performer said that if he composes a track that "pulls" for a hit, the guys will accept him into their team. Gafur accepted the offer, and soon the premiere of the “delicious” novelty took place. We are talking about the track "Cunning snake". The guys from RAAVA appreciated the efforts of the singer. They asked him to pack his bags and go to Moscow.
“RAAVA is not just a label for me. We are connected with the team not only by working relations, but also by strong male friendship. I can say more - we are a big family. There are no leaders on the team. We work on equal terms. We help and care about each other.”
In 2019, the premiere of the track "Cunning snake" took place. Some time later, he presented the video clip "Moon". The novelty was warmly received by music lovers. In a short period of time, the clip was watched by a little less than a million users. The singer said that his personal story is hidden in the composition. The work is based on a real event.
On the wave of popularity, the premiere of the compositions “You are not mine” and “Atom” took place. Note that the premiere of the video took place on the last track. After that, an artist from Uzbekistan attracts more attention to himself, continuing to replenish his musical piggy bank with interesting works.
It is also noteworthy that his compositions are saturated with oriental motifs at their best. The singer himself said that he loves and respects Uzbek works, and also listens to soulful songs in his native language.

Gafur is not used to sharing the details of his personal life. In one of his interviews, he said that not so long ago he had a relationship with a girl. About his former artist said the following: “She is a cunning snake. This girl inspired me to record my debut piece of music.”
To win the heart of a singer, a girl needs to be: smart, kind, beautiful, natural and musical. He doesn't like "silicone dolls". Gafur prefers brunettes.
Today, the artist is fully engaged in music, so he is not ready to burden himself with a serious relationship. His career is rapidly gaining momentum, so this is quite the right decision. He is attached to his family. The artist admits that he madly misses his parents and his mother's pilaf.
He adores his fans. The artist admits that he is really flattered by the attention of the "fans". He even makes "screenshots" of comments. The most interesting comments are answered personally by the performer. According to the artist, his audience should not be shy about expressing their thoughts regarding his work.
