Natig Shirinov, who comes from the generation of Ashig Shamshir, Ashig Shirin and Ashig Idris famous in the art history of Azerbaijan, was born in Baku on November 10, 1975. At the age of 9 in 1984, Natig began studying the drum mastery with Azer Aliyev at Music School named after Tofig Ismaylov. In 1986 he also continued his education at music school No 6 in order to learn more and to improve his playing technique.
At the age of 24 Natig received the invitation from Alim Gasimov, master of mugam, the Honored Artist of Azerbaijan Republic and stepped into the professional career. This group went on tours during 1999-2007 to different countries. Natig’s contributions to the art have not been limited by performance on stage. In 2001 he founded “Natig Rhythm Group” consisting of five persons. Besides drum, he included old Azeri instruments such as zurna, balaban, tutek to the group. Except being the head of this group, he extended his activity as the pedagogue and composer. His objective in founding the group was to prove that drum belongs to Azerbaijan, to make some improvements, create new rhythms and make different countries recognize and appreciate drum. In 2002 in order to extend the rhythms in drum, Natig started to have lessons at Tabla School at Council of India in Moscow and later on he started to synthesize the Azerbaijani rhythms with the world rhythms. He was invited by producer of International Drum Festival, outstanding percussionist Tofig Jabarov to participate at the Drum Festival in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009. He was invited by Sevda Alakbarzade, the Honored Artist and singer of Azerbaijan, for albums’ recording “Gul achdi” in 2007 and “Sevdali Dunya” in 2009 which were released by “Network Medien” Company.
