Biography of Aziza Mukhamedova
The biography of Aziza Mukhamedova begins in the city of Tashkent, in the sixties. The fate of the little girl was predetermined from the very beginning, because her father was an honored composer, but her mother taught music at school. Therefore, she devoted her entire childhood to music, although she had a dream of becoming a doctor. At first, Aziza's life was carefree, but when she was fifteen years old, her father suddenly dies. His death radically changed the family's lifestyle. Young Mukhamedova had to constantly work, although previously she could only study music. So, from a young age, the future singer learned what hard work is, that not everything in life comes easy and simple.
But Aziza did not give up studying at the music school, she continued to actively study, take lesson after lesson, improving her skills. Already at the age of sixteen, she became the lead singer of the Sado group, and it was here that the life of the poor girl changed dramatically. She couldn’t even immediately enter the conservatory because she didn’t have time for it. There were constant tours, not only throughout the Soviet Union, but also abroad. But the singer still graduated from the conservatory in the late eighties. At one time, the singer came to Moscow, where she debuted with various albums and met famous singers of that time, for example, Igor Talkov.
At the very beginning of the nineties, a tragedy occurred. Talkov died during a brawl on stage, and Aziza’s good friend was among the crowd. For this fact, the singer was persecuted so much that she disappeared from the stage for four whole years. And only four years later she was able to cope with her grief and sing new hits. In the 2000s, Aziza continued to release albums and take part in various television programs. Now she tirelessly continues to work both on herself and on new creativity. He releases albums and performs new songs, which are successful. For an ambitious and bright woman, nothing is impossible.

When the children grew up, Rafika got a job as a teacher at a music school. In the last years of her life she lived in the USA.
All the Mukhamedov girls studied music from an early age. Aziza knew from childhood what she wanted to become. She learned to play piano and studied with vocal teachers. Of course, the singer’s first teachers were her parents.
When father Abdurakhim died (1980), Aziza was only 15 years old. The girl had to grow up quickly and think seriously about the future. In the past are carefree childhood and youth. There is uncertainty ahead. However, a family friend, Valery Baramykov, leader of the Navruz and Sado groups, came to the aid of the orphaned Mukhamedovs. He invited Aziza to sing in his VIA. Starting in 1980, schoolgirl Mukhamedova began performing in “Sado” and touring cities and towns of the USSR.

Aziza has two older sisters. From childhood, girls were taught music by their outstanding parents. However, only one of them became known throughout the world.
At the age of 15, Aziza’s father died, then the girl decided to get a job to help her mother and sisters. At this time she was studying in the 9th grade in the piano department at a music school.
Aziza in his youth
Education
Since childhood, Aziza has been involved in music and vocals, and has always dreamed of becoming a singer. She studied in Tashkent at a special secondary music school named after V. Uspensky in the piano department. True, due to the sudden death of her father, she decided to change her dream and go to study at a medical school. However, in the 9th grade she became one of the vocalists of VIA “Sado”.
She combined her last year of study at music school with touring and concert activities. Having received a certificate of secondary education, the aspiring singer submitted documents to the Tashkent Conservatory for the piano department. In the second half of the 80s, she graduated from university and began a solo career.
Childhood
Aziza was born on April 10, 1964 in Tashkent. Her family included professional musicians. Father, Abdurakhim Mukhamedov, worked as a composer and was an Honored Artist of the Uzbek SSR. Mother, Rafika Khaidarova, was a soloist in an academic choir and a teacher at a music school.
Aziza’s nationality is Uzbek, although her mother is Tatar and her father is half Uyghur. Abdurakhim came from a family of bakers, but in the end he broke the dynasty and took up music. Since childhood, the girl dreamed of becoming a doctor, but her parents sent her to a music school.
When the girl turns 15, her father dies. This grief shook her greatly, but Aziza coped with it. She became a member of the musical and instrumental ensemble "Sado". She had to work a lot, as it was difficult for Rafika to provide financially for her daughter. Therefore, the future singer had to get acquainted with hard work early.
After graduating from school, Aziza wanted to enter the conservatory. Her mother insisted on this. But due to frequent performances and rehearsals, she had no time to study.
Together with the ensemble, she was not only on the territory of the USSR, but also in other countries:
- Germany;
- China;
- Africa;
- France, etc.
Later, Aziza nevertheless entered the Tashkent Conservatory and graduated in 1988. She was sent to a singing competition in Jurmala. The girl gained good performing experience while working at Sado.
She was confident on stage and controlled her excitement. Therefore, she managed to take third place and receive the Audience Award.
Musical creativity
The start of the singer’s creative career occurred in the early 80s of the last century. Aziza was only sixteen when she became one of the three vocalists of VIA Sado. The girl was still studying at a music school in those years. And not even in graduation, but only in 9th grade. Two other Sado singers, Mira Romanidi and Kumush Razzakova, have already graduated from school.
Only Aziza had to combine studies and concert activities. True, the Sado vocalists often went on tour without the youngest singer. In Tashkent, the trio always performed in full force. In 1980, the girls sang in the same concert program together with Alla Pugacheva and Gennady Khazanov.
In 1981, “Sado” went to the II All-Union Competition for Young Performers from the Uzbek Republic. The vocalists performed a folk song and several modern compositions from socialist countries. Raymond Pauls and Ilya Reznik wrote several works especially for Sado. One of the compositions, “Don’t be embarrassed,” became a real hit and helped “Sado” get onto the USSR Central Television in “Song of the Year 1981.”
In the same 1981, young vocalists went to a competition in Yalta. There, once every two years, a musical competition was held as part of the Crimean Dawns festival. The participants of the Sado ensemble, according to the drawing of lots, were to be the first to perform at the competition. The young vocalists did not like this order of going on stage. The girls were afraid that by the end of the concert the audience and judges would forget about them. However, the performance of “Sado” made a strong impression on everyone present. The young singers performed several songs from the countries of the socialist commonwealth and received first place in the competition.
After the victory in Yalta, all doors of the USSR were open to Sado. Young vocalists performed on the same stage with Soviet pop stars. In 1982, “Sado” was released from the USSR for the first time on tour abroad. Young 18-year-old Aziza and her colleagues flew to Africa for a concert. In the first half of the 80s, VIA “Sado” performed in Tanzania, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Vietnam, and Laos. In 1982 and 1984, the trio sang at concerts in Afghanistan, although in those years there was a war in the Asian country.
In the early 80s, “Sado” was the most popular VIA in the USSR. The Soviet ensemble was even compared to the West German group Arabesques. In 1986, all the soloists of “Sado” decided to pursue a solo career. Valery Baramykov's ensemble ceased to exist.
Having become a solo singer, Aziza decided to make herself known throughout the USSR and went to Jurmala in 1988 for the All-Union Competition of Young Talents. The artist performed her two favorite songs – “Namangan Apples” and “Good Angel”, which helped her win the audience award. True, she failed to win the Jurmala competition.
In 1988, Aziza left Tashkent for Moscow and seriously began her solo career. The singer began performing on the main stages of the country, she was often invited to Central Television. Almost every resident of the USSR knew by heart the words of her most popular song of the late 80s, “Your Smile.” In 1989, the first album, “Aziza,” was released. In 1990, the artist took part in the country’s main concert, “Song of the Year,” and basked in the rays of fame and popular love.
Exactly a year later, in 1991, Aziza’s life changed dramatically. Her common-law husband, Igor Malakhov, was involved in the death of the popularly beloved singer, performer of the song “Chistye Prudy,” Igor Talkov. Neither the audience nor the television workers could forgive her for this. For 3-4 years the singer did not appear on Russian television screens.
In 1993, with the work “For Your Love”, the oriental beauty was included in the “Song of the Year”. The singer was supported by Russian pop stars (Pugacheva, Kobzon) and helped her return to show business. In 1995, the artist resumed her concert activities, and in 1997 she released a second collection of her works, “All or Nothing.” In 1999 she recorded several songs in pop-rock style together with Stas Namin.
In 2003, Aziza’s third album, “After So Many Years,” was released, dedicated to the memory of her father. In 2006, together with her son Talkova, she sang the song “This World”. In 2007, in the TV show “You are a superstar!” (on NTV) won all competitions. In 2015, she became the winner of season 2 of “Exactly the Same” on “First”. In 2015 she performed at the Sochi gala concert “New Wave”. In 2021, she once again took part in the TV show “Exactly the Same”. In 2021, she starred in the second season of the television project “Mask” on NTV.
“Begging for eggs from her nieces”: 57-year-old Aziza was shamed for late motherhood
The 90s star intends to create a harmonious family with her young man. After numerous novels, Aziza has finally decided to settle down and is now preparing for the wedding.

The romance between the famous Russian singer Aziza and 40-year-old Italian Alexandro Lorte became known a few months ago. As it turned out, the couple met thanks to online vocal courses run by the famous artist. Soon the foreigner literally lost his head over a woman with whom he has a fairly large age difference. Aziza herself is now clearly in high spirits and is already in full swing preparing for a luxurious wedding with the owner of a small fish restaurant. The star bride plans to spend 15 million rubles on the celebration, but the game is worth the candle, because this will be the celebrity’s first official marriage!
But the most important thing is that Aziza intends not only to acquire a young, handsome husband, but also to finally become a mother. According to the singer herself, she is not at all averse to taking the baby from the Orphanage. But she still considers natural childbirth to be the best way out of this situation. The star argues that one of her nieces could act as an egg donor...
Aziza will get married for 15 million and give birth to a child from a donor egg
57-year-old Aziza Mukhamedova is once again getting married. Her chosen one was a young and wealthy foreigner, for whom she was even ready to give birth to a baby.
The artist’s desire to become a mother at such a mature age, and even with the help of someone else’s genetic material, to put it mildly, amazed blogger Lena Miro. In her publication in LiveJournal, the uncompromising young lady blasted Aziza to smithereens for such an initiative. But the criticism of daughter-in-law Valeria, who went on vacation with her husband without their four-month-old daughter Celine, did not seem particularly constructive to Miro.
“Last week two generic news occurred on the Internet. Firstly, they are persecuting Valeria’s young daughter-in-law because the girl went off to rest with her husband without taking the child with her. Secondly, 56-year-old Aziza begs her nieces for an egg in order to give birth. <...>Giving birth at 20, leaving the baby with full strength grandparents and relaxing abroad with your husband is normal, natural and correct.
I’ve said it a hundred times and I’ll repeat it: you need to give birth at 20. In part, because grandparents still have enough strength to nurse a baby. Young people give birth, grandparents help in caring for the child and even take on this care themselves, giving new parents a break. Everything is according to the laws of nature. At 50+ it’s too late to become parents…” the blogger explained her position (spelling and punctuation are the author’s. – editor’s note).

Aziza's concert activities started in the 80s of the last century. The oriental beauty sang as part of a youth women's group, or rather, the Sado trio. Young vocalists gave up to 20 concerts a month. Aziza's solo career began in 1986. At the peak of fame, the singer’s every day was planned out. The artist performed on stage almost every day.
From 1991 to 1993, due to the death of Talkov, the number of concerts fell sharply. In the mid-90s, Aziza resumed her concert activities. Even now (May 2021) on her Instagram, the singer regularly publishes a schedule of concerts for the near future. Aziza participated in “Song of the Year” several times, sang at “New Wave”, “Oriental Bazaar”, and numerous anniversary evenings of stars (Evzerova, Silantieva). In honor of her 57th birthday (April 10, 2021), the artist gave the “Birthday Revelations” concert.
Scandal with the death of Igor Talkov
In October 1991, Aziza went to St. Petersburg for a concert at the Yubileiny Sports Palace. Russian pop stars, including Oleg Gazmanov and Igor Talkov, were planning to perform at the event. The artists agreed in advance in what order they would go on stage. Aziza was supposed to sing second to last. Gazmanov concluded the concert. Talkov was supposed to perform in front of the singer.
However, the order of performances changed at the very last moment. Talkov's concert director, Shlyafman, “pushed” his artist closer to the finale. Aziza’s common-law husband, Igor Malakhov, did not like this rearrangement. He asked Shlyafman to adhere to the pre-established sequence. However, Talkov's concert director refused to follow the rules. It was not possible to reach an agreement peacefully. Shlyafman and Malakhov got into a fight. Talkov and his guards got into the fight.
Malakhov had a pistol with him, which he used to defend himself from the attackers. During the fight, several shots were fired. The pistol passed from Malakhov’s hands to Shlyafman. One of the bullets hit Talkov in the chest. Aziza was also injured during the fight. The singer was beaten, after the incident she lost her common child with Malakhov.
The police arrived. It was not possible to figure out who exactly killed the singer. Malakhov and Shlyafman denied their guilt. At first, Aziza’s common-law husband was found guilty, because it was his pistol that killed Talkov. Soon Shlyafman became the killer; he also touched the weapon. True, neither Shlyafman nor Malakhov were punished for the murder. A few years later, a version emerged that the killer was someone else, and that the attack on Talkov was ordered.
In 1991, all of Russia blamed Aziza for the murder of the Chistye Prudy performer. The singer has not performed on stage for several years. She resumed her concert activities only in 1995. In 2005, Aziza changed her religion and became a Christian, although all her ancestors were Muslims. In the 2000s, the singer became friends with Talkov’s son, Igor Jr. In 2006 she performed the work “This World” with him. In 2013, Aziza became the godmother of Talkov’s grandson, Svyatoslav.
Death of Igor Talkov
1991 was a difficult year for the whole country, social and political changes pulled the rug out from under people’s feet, but for Aziza, in addition to the general ones, there was also a personal drama. In 1991, the singer suffered a severe shock and closed herself off for some time.
The moral balance was disrupted by a tragic incident - the mysterious murder of musician and poet Igor Talkov on the eve of a national concert. The murder took place a few minutes before the singer’s no-longer-happened appearance on stage, at the moment of a scuffle between Talkov’s guards and Aziza’s friend, who accompanied her at the concert. The musician was shot with a military weapon. The case remained unsolved, and to this day it is considered the strangest and loudest in the history of the Russian stage.
The conflict that led to the fight was started by the singer’s companion Igor Malakhov. The man demanded that the performances of Aziza and Talkov be swapped so that the performer would perform almost at the end - the artist was experiencing severe toxicosis, and she needed time to recover before going on stage. The director of the program went along with it. As a result, the artists were swapped. However, Talkov called Malakhov to his dressing room to discuss changes to the program when he learned about them.

Igor Talkov Jr. and Aziza
A conflict broke out, which turned into a brawl in the corridor. Igor Malakhov took out a pistol, Talkov did the same, but it was a gas pistol. The pistol was knocked out of Malakhov’s hands, so when the shot occurred that caused Talkov’s death, it turned out to be unclear who fired the shot. Investigators proved that the instigator of the fight could not have done this.
Aziza herself did not participate in the fight, or even in the initial conflict, but it is unlikely that she did not know about the action of her escort. The public was indignant. The singer was so persecuted by the murder of Talkov that it took her 4 years to restore her usual perception of reality and a comfortable state, after which she returned to the stage with new songs.
The main blow for her was not so much the accusations, but the fact that none of those who publicly confessed their love and loyalty to the popular performer stood up for her in difficult times. The press made Aziza guilty of Igor’s death, and yesterday’s fans happily savored the details and gossip about Talkov’s murder.
Family and personal life
The singer, famous since the times of the USSR, did not dare to get married for a long time. Aziza never suffered from lack of attention from the stronger sex. On the contrary, men idolized her and often called her to the registry office. However, the star's wedding was constantly postponed due to various circumstances.
In July 1991, returning from Odessa to Moscow, Aziza met a handsome young man named Igor Malakhov on the train. After talking, the singer found out that her travel companion was vacationing on the same cruise ship as her. During their vacation on the ship, the young people never met. Fate brought them together only on a train.
Returning to Moscow, the artist agreed to go on a date with Malakhov. Soon the whole capital was discussing their romance. In September, the vocalist realized that she was pregnant. They decided to postpone the wedding until later. The lovers lived in a rented apartment. Malakhov helped the singer with organizing concerts.
In 1991, a fatal concert took place in St. Petersburg, in which Talkov died. On that ill-fated day, Malakhov tried to dissuade his beloved from performing from the very morning. The singer suffered greatly from toxicosis and felt unwell. However, she didn’t want to miss the opportunity to earn some money and went to the concert.
Before the performance, a fight occurred in which Malakhov, Talkov, Shlyafman, and security guards took part. Aziza got it too. As a result, Talkov was shot from Malakhov’s pistol. The artist's common-law husband ran away without waiting for the police to arrive. Aziza had to explain herself to the police, and the next day after the incident, the singer suffered a miscarriage.
True, soon Malakhov himself came to the police to confess. In the winter of 1991, the singer’s common-law husband was acquitted of the charge of Talkov’s murder. True, Malakhov was given a short suspended sentence for possession of firearms. Aziza supported her common-law husband. However, in the mid-90s, Malakhov’s brother was killed. My husband started drinking out of grief. Aziza tolerated drunkenness for some time, and then gave it up. In 2016, Malakhov died at the age of 53.
In the 2000s, Aziza had a love affair with entrepreneur Alexander Brodolin, composer Oleg Beskrovny, and businessman David Grigoryan. In May 2021, on her Instagram, the star announced her engagement to a man named Alexandro.
Personal life
Aziza’s personal life was not as successful as her career. The singer’s first novel, which the public learned about, brought the girl a lot of suffering.
Aziza has never been married in her 55 years. Although I never experienced a lack of male attention.
Aziza and Igor Malakhov
Aziza's common-law husband, Igor Malakhov, with whom the singer lived in an unofficial marriage for 2 years, became a murder suspect. For Aziza, this news was a shocking event. She could no longer continue her love relationship with the young man.
Aziza with Igor Malakhov
But suspicions of the murder of Igor Talkov were not the only reason for the lovers’ breakup. Later, Aziza admitted that the man often drank alcohol and caused scandals. The best decision was to separate.
Aziza and Alexander Brodolin
Entrepreneur Alexander Brodolin also did not become Aziza’s official husband. The singer remembers this relationship with warmth.
Aziza and Alexander
Alexander and Aziza met back in 2011. The relationship developed rapidly, but had a big drawback - separation. The lovers lived and worked in different cities: he in St. Petersburg, she in Moscow.
In 2021, news of the couple's imminent marriage began to spread. Aziza denied the news that Alexander would become her husband and announced a separation.
It is worth noting that Alexander Brodilin is still caring for the singer. But Aziza does not see her husband in him, despite the fact that she treats him well.
Aziza and Oleg Beskrovny
Oleg Beskrovny has been with Aziza since the beginning of her career. Their relationship was more friendly than love. Oleg supported Aziza in difficult situations.

In 2021, the man proposed to the singer, and Aziza agreed. But this time the woman was not destined to get married.
Almost everything was ready for the celebration, but Aziza broke off relations with Oleg a few days before the wedding.
The reason for the breakup was Oleg’s refusal to quit smoking. The thing is that Aziza cannot stand the smell of tobacco smoke.
Aziza and Alexander Abdulin
The singer’s personal life has always attracted public attention, but her affair with the married Alexander Abdulin provoked a scandal.
Aziza made a revelation about her secret relationship with Alexander 30 years later.
The woman admitted that there was nothing serious. She was always flattered by the attention of men, and Abdulin’s advances were nothing more than entertainment.
Aziza's children
At 55 years old, Aziza has never been officially married, and the singer also failed to become a mother. The star's parents never saw their grandchildren.
Aziza always loved children and dreamed of them, but there were always some reasons to postpone this issue. Either the time was not right, or the man next to him was not the right one.
Aziza admits that she was pregnant from Igor Malakhov, but lost the child due to severe stress.
In her second lover Alexandra, the singer saw the father of her future children. But he did not want to take on such responsibility. Aziza even offered to adopt the child, but the man did not agree. Actually, this was the reason for their separation.
