He then managed the reading room at the village council in his native state farm and led artistic amateur activities. In 1955, he was awarded a first-degree certificate as an akyn-improviser by the jury of the Republican amateur performance review and was soon invited to be an actor at the Republican Puppet Theater. In 1965, he became a soloist at the Toktogul Satylganov Kyrgyz State Philharmonic.
