Kairat Nurtas (sometimes spelled Qairat; Kazakh: Қайрат Нұртас; Қайрат Нұртасұлы Айдарбеков, romanized: Qairat Nūrtasūly Aidarbekov, [qɑjˈrɑt no̙rtʰɑs]; born 25 February 1989, Turkestan)[1] is a Kazakhstani singer.[2] He has topped the rating of the most popular local Kazakh musicians, based on CD sales.[3][4]

Biography[edit]

He made his debut on the stage when he was 10 years old in Baikonur. He came forward together with such performers, as Meirambek Bespaev, Nurlan Onerbayev and Toktar Serikov. Kairat released his first single and his debut album in 2006 but his breakthrough came when he gave his first solo concert in 2008 in Almaty. Although his level of recognition was low, after that concert, his popularity started a continuous rise.

He has interpreted the songs of prominent Kazakh composers such as Shamshy Kaldayakov, Aset Beiseuov, Erzhan Serikbayev.

The premiere of feature film, Ökınış, (Regret) was announced in April 2013, being a melodramatic history about his life as a singer. His mother Gulzira Aidarbekova produces and sponsors his performances.

Controversies[edit]

In 2018, a lecturer at L. N. Gumilev Eurasian National University Myrzantai Jakyp accused Kairat Nurtas, as well as a number of other Kazakhstani artists, of buying an educational master's grant. According to the teacher, he had never seen Kairat Nurtas in his lectures for two years, but there were orders from the university administration to give the singers good grades. Kairat Nurtas refused to comment on the teacher's statement[5].
