Choice of profession
The future singer was born on December 23 in Grozny. My father worked as a surgeon, my mother taught vocals. Soon the family with Selim and his brother moved to Derbent, from there - to Makhachkala. For a long time the boy went in for sports. He liked the fight.
In hand-to-hand combat, Selim demonstrated considerable achievements. Coaches predicted a bright future for the student. The athlete himself was thinking about a professional career. Friends have always readily assisted in improving combat skills. Martial arts helped to survive the crisis associated with breaking voice.
Alakhyarov was fascinated by the profession of his father. From childhood, the boy read textbooks on surgery. He knew the anatomy very well and by the end of school he knew how to make good diagnoses. But the boy did not consider medical education as an option for future activities. Moreover, from an early age, the child was engaged in singing.
He took part in all music competitions in Dagestan. Perfect son’s hearing was revealed by mother. She noted the purity of intonation. While studying, a talented student was offered to study at the school of Luciano Pavarotti in Italy. However, due to the need to change citizenship, the boy refused.
In 1999, the famous Dagestan composer Murad Kazhlaev helped him with his admission to the Sveshnikov Academy of Choral Art. However, soon the parents took the son home due to financial problems.

The young soloist repeatedly won at the competitions "Mariyana", "Talents of the XXI century", "Quail", won the prizes of international vocal competitions. In the repertoire of Selim, works of postmodernism coexist with Italian arias from the Baroque period.
The closest thing to Alakhyarov is neoclassicism. The soloist believes that in Russia such a direction has not yet been sufficiently developed.
