Major Sherzod Ganiyev, a senior specialist-operator of the security department of the Samarkand tourist center of the Department of Safe Tourism of the IIB of the Samarkand region, asked a young man with a guitar in his hand: 

"I have been learning to play the guitar for six months," said the teenager.

- Then your hand is quite arranged?

- Yes, do you want me to play it?

- Of course.

 Both of them walked along the tourist complex "Biky Shahar". They met along the way. Akbar sat on one of the seats, played the guitar and sang a song. Major Ganiyev also accompanied him. 

- Yes, don't be afraid. If you are seriously interested, practice it, said Sherzod. 

The hero of our film said that he would become a singer when he was a child. This dream even entered his dreams. But years later, he chose law rather than art. In 2014, after graduating from Samarkand State University, he started working as an inspector of the Department of Educational Affairs of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. Over the years, he served in various positions. Today, it performs the responsible task of ensuring the safety of tourists. 

A sensitive world is hidden in his heart. The songs he sings are his inner world, life trials he has experienced, recognition of his dreams, expression, soul needs. 

- Sherzod Ganiyev is a selfless employee. In addition, it has a juicy sound. His songs touch the listener's heartstrings. No festive event is complete without his songs. Especially if you listen to songs praising the Motherland, your heart will flutter, - says the deputy head of the Regional Intelligence Service - the head of the National Security Service, Lt. Col. Eldor Algarov.

 Sherzod Ganiyev is an active participant in various art competitions. In 2016, "You are the only one, holy Motherland!" won the proud 3rd place in the republican competition. In 2024, in the "X Factor" voice project, he passed the castings held in Samarkand region, showed his talent at the level of our country and received recognition. His favorite guitar is his constant companion in his spare time. Major Sherzod Ganiyev is raising 4 sons. "I definitely want one of them to be an artist," he says.
