Akmal'

AKMAL’ (Akmal Khodzhaniyazov, born November 23, 2003, in Ashgabat) is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who has taken part in the fifth season of “The Voice Kids,” the show “The Masked Singer,” and “The Voice. No Longer Kids.” During auditions, his velvety tone turned all the judges’ chairs, while his Pink Gorilla character on “The Masked Singer” remained a viewer favorite for a long time.

By the age of twenty-one, the artist had gained more than a million followers on social media and has remained a strong presence in the charts: “Из-за тебя” entered the top 50 on VK and Yandex Music, while the videos for “По полюшку” and “Вдоль дорог” have surpassed 40 million views on YouTube combined.

His debut album “Песни о твоих глазах” (2022) went platinum, followed by the EP “Сидело в мыслях” (2023) and the mini-album “Давай, пока!” (2024). In 2023, he released the single “В моей крови,” which quickly entered radio rotation, and in 2025, the digital releases “Протяни ладонь,” “Воспоминание,” and “Ты мне покажи” showed his transition from lyrical pop R&B to a richer, more contemporary sound.

His first solo concert in Bishkek promises a full range of emotions: a block of major hits (“Из-за тебя,” “По полюшку,” “Девочка, не прощай,” “Мир нам завидовал”), an acoustic set featuring “Вдоль дорог” / “В моей крови” with a string quartet, and the premiere of two new tracks from the upcoming album “Чернила.”

A live band of seven musicians, kinetic LED screens, and audience interaction — from a cappella improvisations to displaying stories on large panels — will turn the performance into a full-scale pop show where classical vocals meet modern, trend-driven production.
