He has spent much of his life accompanying Azerbaijan's most prominent singers, including Bulbul, the founder of Azerbaijan's professional vocal school; Rashid Behbudov, the singer who most often represented Azerbaijan throughout the world during the Soviet period; Mirza Babayev, one of the former Soviet Union's best-known pop stars; and Muslim Magomayev, one of the former Soviet Union's best-known pop stars. When asked how many songs are in his repertoire, Chingiz readily admitted that there were so many that he wouldn't know where to start counting.
