Tajik Jimmy

Baimurat Allaberiyev (born 20 February 1971) also known as Tajik Jimmy, is a vocalist and musician from Tajikistan of Uzbek ethnic origin. He was discovered while working in a warehouse as the result of a colleague videoing him performing a cover of "Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja" from the Bollywood movie "Disco Dancer" with a cell phone and posting it on the internet. Since that time, he has moved to St. Petersburg and performed there and elsewhere in Russia in theaters and night clubs.

He has appeared in the successful Russian comedy films Yolki, Yolki 3, Yolki 5 and New Husband.
