Manzura

In 1978, little Manzura was born into the family of the artist Muborak. Manzura, who shared her small room with her sister, who would later become her supporter on the great path of life, began surprising her kindergarten peers with her unique voice at the age of 5. Her creative father, having noticed the talent in his daughter and after consulting with his friend Karim Hoji, enrolled her in the Uspensky Music School. The knowledge and experience gained there shaped Manzura as a master of vocals.

Despite being young, Manzura sang the "Karubina" aria accompanied by the "Neymer" orchestra. Having amazed everyone with her wide range, Manzura realized, upon feeling a new strength within herself, that she must strive only forward.

In 1996, Manzura formed the group «Sebonu» with her sister Nigina and friend Nargiza. Under the leadership of the talented singer Ravshan Zokirov, the trio recorded 2 songs and took 2nd place in the «Ofarin-96» competition. The unexpected turn of events brought joy to all three artists. As a result, soloist Manzura graduated from the Uspensky Music School that same year and continued her studies at the Tashkent State Conservatory. By that time, Nargiza, who was in the group, decided to dedicate herself to art criticism. The lucky trio quietly transformed into the «Osiyo» duo.

In 1997, the group received significant help from the «Bisko-biznes» firm. Under the leadership of Muhiddin Qamariddinov, they released their first album titled «Yolg'izim.» In the same year, they also shot a music video for the song, quickly gaining fans and becoming known. Two hits, «Yolg'izim» and «Men seni sevaman,» became very popular.

2000. Another change in the group's composition. The duo becomes a solo project. Nigina left the group with the intention of testing herself in the field of design. Then Manzura began her solo career under the leadership of producer Rustam Sa'diev. Cooperation with a new producer had a positive impact on the singer's creative work and brought success. In 2000, Manzura was invited to shoot in director Madina Mo'minova's musical film «Tohir va Zuhra» alongside other movie stars.

Having started her solo career successfully, Manzura saw the fruits of her labor in 2002. More specifically, in that exact year, she was awarded the «Nihol» State Prize, established by our President. Every artist who gains the public's attention and becomes a prize winner feels the responsibility placed upon them and resolves to create even more.

In that same year, Manzura managed to act in the film «Muhabbat sinovlari-1» and sing all the soundtracks for the picture. Every soundtrack that played in director Rustam Sa'diyev's film became popular in a short time. In 2004, at the public's request, «Muhabbat sinovlari-2» was released on the big screen. Manzura also sang the soundtracks for this film.

Another memorable event of 2004: Manzura held her long-awaited first solo concert titled «Bevafo» at the summer venue of the «Turkiston» Palace. At the end of the year, her first album of the same name also went on sale. In 2005, the film «Nahotki sen» was presented to viewers. By then, having become the queen of soundtracks, Manzura sang and popularized all the songs in the new film.

Later, the next collection titled «Nahotki sen» also found its fans in a short time. In 2006, Manzura won the «Tarona» award in the «Best Image of the Year» category. In 2007, she began to change her direction entirely. Any experiment brings a new breath into an artist's creative work.

The changes Manzura introduced to her creative work and repertoire were well-received by demanding fans. In an optimistic mood and with new perspectives, the singer finished recording the album «Tushlarimga kir.» This collection includes her hit songs, including the «Afsusdaman» soundtrack made for the film «Panoh.»

In 2007, a big film was waiting for Manzura again. Now she was invited as the lead character for the technological film «Sevginator.» Manzura, who for 3 years took acting lessons from Minavvara Abdullayeva, an Honored Artist of Uzbekistan, interpreted two roles: a robot and a student girl (Maftuna), skillfully and convincingly. The singer, who managed to meet the director's demands, albeit with some difficulty, proved that besides picking up a microphone and singing songs, she was also a good actress. The picture, which was met with great interest by viewers, won the grand prize at the «Ijodiy parvoz» film festival. In 2009, Manzura released her album titled «Majnun va Layli.»

In the same year, the enterprising artist won the «Best Female Singer of the Year» category at the «M&TVA» national awards. In addition, her composition titled «Majnun va Layli» was recognized as the song of the year at the «Tarona» awards. Also, in 2010, director Rustam Sa'diyev's film «Men bu men» was submitted for the viewers' judgment. Manzura sang the soundtrack for this picture together with Rayxon, an Honored Artist of Uzbekistan. This was the first duet of these two artists. In 2010, the film «Sevginator-2» was released on the big screen. Manzura also portrayed the lead character in it.
