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; and Muslim Magomayev (born 1942), one of the former Soviet Union's best-known pop stars. When asked how many songs are in his repertoire, Chingiz readily admits that there are so many that he wouldn't know where to start counting.
