Initially Chingiz Sadykhov played classical music but later switched to Azerbaijani music. He has spent much of his life accompanying Azerbaijan's most prominent singers, including Bulbul, the founder of Azerbaijan's professional vocal school; Rashid Behbudov, the singer who most often represented Azerbaijan throughout the world during the Soviet period; and Muslim Magomayev, one of the former Soviet Union's best-known pop stars. When asked how many songs are in his repertoire, Chingiz readily admitted that there were so many that he wouldn't know where to start counting.
