Artist's childhood

The future opera singer was born in Algeria. Almost immediately after the birth of Yusif, the family moved to the city of Baku.

After graduation, he enters the Azerbaijan Technical University at the Faculty of Metallurgy. But just a year later, the young man was transferred to the Baku Academy of Music, having discovered good vocal abilities. However, Yusif did not finish this educational institution either. The reason for this was the move to Milan in 1998.

Carier start
