Life

Imanbek Seikenow grew up in Aqsu . He has been playing the guitar since he was eight. After finishing school, he studied transportation and worked at the train station. As a hobby he recorded several amateur remixes via FL Studio until he discovered Saint Jhns Song Roses . He changed the track a bit by pitching Saint Jhn's vocals and adding another bassline and snare drum . Then he posted it on a Russian music platform. The actually illegal remix went viral, especially via the TikTok platform , where young people danced to the song. The Russian label Effective Records signed him. Imanbek was able to come to an agreement with Saint Jhn and then publish the single legally. The song reached number 1 on the UK charts and number 5 on the Billboard 200 . Imanbek became internationally known.

In 2020 the single I'm Just Feelin '(Du Du Du) followed with the Danish producer Martin Jensen . On July 10th, 2020 he released a new version of the modern talking song Brother Louie together with Vize and Dieter Bohlen feat. Leony .
