Dinmuhammed Qanatuly Qudaibergen[a] (born 24 May 1994), known professionally as Dimash Qudaibergen[b] and mononymously as Dimash (/dɪˈmɑːʃ/ dih-MAHSH), is a Kazakh singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. He is university-trained in classical as well as contemporary music, and is known for his exceptionally wide vocal range.[1][2][3][4] He has performed songs in 12 languages.[5]

Although offered a position at the Astana Opera, he decided to carve out his career in contemporary music, mixing classical elements and traditional Kazakh music with pop music.[6]

He gained significant popularity in Kazakhstan and other post-Soviet countries in 2015 upon becoming the Grand Prix winner of Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk, Belarus.[7] He rose to fame in China with his participation as a "wildcard competitor" in Hunan TV's Singer 2017 (Chinese: 歌手2017),[8][9] finishing second overall.
