According to them, at due time grandfather Abiltai was a famous kyuishi and apparently that’s why Shamil wanted to follow his footsteps and he started playing dombra from the age of four, thereby this helped his future to set out on the arduous journey of the art. He became a laureate of the All-Union Competition of Folk Instruments Players in Voronezh in 1974 and the Award of Lenin Komsomol of Kazakhstan in 1980 and in 1994 he was called the ‘Ozan’ (Announcer) of the Whole Turkic World at the Kurultai that took place in Izmir, Turkish city.

In 1966-1972 he continued his education in the Kurmangazy Conservatory in Almaty which was called as the Higher Education Institution of Kazakh Art. In 1972 he successfully graduated from this conservatory and started his first working path in the Kazakh State Philharmonic Society named after Jambul as lecturer-kyuishi where he worked for 13 years and provided direct support in the wide spreading the knowledge about Kazakh kyui traditions in all regions of our Republic, in many union republics and such countries as Italy, France, India, Burkina Faso, and Mali.
