Russia (bbabo.net), - The record holder is a 20-year-old Kazakh self-taught DJ Imanbek Zeikenov, who is now listened to all over the world. This time, such a high achievement - a billion plays - was awarded a remix of the Roses track, originally composed by the New York rapper Saint Jhn and now called Roses - Imanbek Remix thanks to Imanbek.

In the original, this song was, frankly, not the most outstanding - viscous, monotonous, original, but quickly boring - the author composed it back in 2015, but could not get into the tops of the charts. But now, thanks to the acceleration of speeds, additional tracks, "Pinocchio" vocals and new ideas in harmony and melody, "Roses", as they say, sounded.

Imanbek posted the winning track Roses - Imanbek Remix online back in 2019. Unexpectedly for him, the remix of the song at the end of 2020 was heard by Grammy award academics. And in March, Imanbek sensationally won in the "Best Remix" nomination, and by October 2021, the number of plays on the Spotify streaming service exceeded one billion. And today it is already about one and a half ...

Now Imanbek's "Roses" are in the playlist of the Billions Club service, that is, a club of songs listened to more than a billion times. In the same place where until now there has not been a single Russian-speaking artist, neither from Russia nor from the CIS countries. Now there is - Imanbek.

So it turns out that for one song Roses - Imanbek Remix, the self-taught DJ receives the second prestigious award.

Although he worked on a new version of the track, without dreaming of such significant fame, at home, in Nur-Sultan, without having such a studio and fancy equipment as the author.

Compare, by the way, the quality of Imanbek's ideas. This is how the song originally sounded. A little monotonous and not so advantageous and recklessly. As they say "heaven and earth". And only after the appearance of the remix, music lovers began to actively watch it too.

At the same time, Imanbek is not a professional musician, he did not learn to play any instrument, and before the glory that descended upon him, he worked as a railway worker. And only amateurly tried to master DJ turntables. And in his free time, he translated and re-recorded the songs he liked, posted them on the Internet, without spending money on promotion and advertising, and eventually became a star. Thanks to ideas and a fresh look at music!

Only the coronavirus pandemic did not allow Imanbek to go on a world tour in the fall of 2021. But, still catch up.

Meanwhile

Shortly after winning the Grammy nomination, Imanbek managed to visit Russia: he talked with our musicians, went to the Evening Urgant program. Previously, among his collaborators were LP, Sean Paul, Lil Xan, KDDK, hiding under the pseudonym GlebaTV Gleb Mavrin, Desiigner and Kirill Dzham. We are already waiting for the joint track of Imanbek with Eldzhey.
