Dimash Qudaibergen is an artist who challenges conventional ideas of gender and voice through his extraordinary vocal range and technique. His music transcends cultural, genre, and traditional categorizations. This academic paper first examines the typical vocal ranges associated with biological sexes, questions their normative classification, and highlights historical as well as contemporary exceptions. At its core, the paper analyzes Qudaibergen’s singing voice and technique based on the version of “S.O.S d’un terrien en détresse” available on Spotify.
Combining musicological and cultural studies perspectives, this research offers a well-founded yet novel approach to a phenomenon of both musical and social significance. The aim is to demonstrate that Dimash Qudaibergen represents a striking example of the dissolution of gendered vocal norms—a phenomenon of relevance both musically and societally.
