Biography

Baigali Serkebayev was born in Alma-Ata, Kazakh SSR, on June 27, 1958. His family was that of Ermek Bekmukhamedovich Serkebayev, an opera singer.[4] His father wished for Baigali to become a pianist or a conductor.[5] Baigali started playing the piano at age 5; he is now a graduate of Kulyash Baiseitova's music academy[6] and Kurmangazy Almaty Conservatoire (Piano).[7]

After completion of his course at the conservatoire, Baigali Serkebayev joined Aray,[8] a band led by the Kazakh composer and conductor Taskyn Okapov.[9][10] The band performed with singer Roza Rymbayeva. Aray broke up in 1982, and Roza suggested that Baigali should form and lead a new band.[11] Despite the situation, the band kept the name "Aray" until 1987, when it became Alma-Ata. A year later, it released its first album, titled Put’ bez Ostanovok (The Non-Stop Journey), and changed its name to Almata-Studio.[12] In 1990, one of the band's songs, "Julia," attracted the attention of Alla Pugacheva,[13][14] who first invited the band to join her musical theater, and then to the Christmas Meetings TV show, where Almata-Studio was presented as the best band in the Soviet Union.[15][16] During the same year, Aleksey Berkovich, a director and cameraman, proposed to make a feature-length musical movie named Julia.[17] The movie was shot in Almaty, Odesa, and London.[18]

Baigali Serkebayev later became the producer of The Jigits, another Kazakhstani boy band, which consisted of graduates of the Star Factory in Almaty.[19]

In August 2015, Baigali Serkebayev and his eldest daughter, Kamila, established the Ermek Serkebayev Foundation for Culture and Arts[20] to support young performers, promote their education and development, establish grants and scholarships, and organize public concerts in Kazakhstan and abroad.
