According to Rozik, as a young teen, he was bullied and mocked for his size as a result of which he could only get 3 years of formal education. Teachers didn't provide him with stationery and books as they thought it was a waste of time to teach him anything. He would be beaten up on the way home from his school by his classmates and most of the time he was under extreme stress thinking about what would become of his life as he was the sole bread earner of his family.
His family had minimal means of survival and couldn't afford any medical treatment for his disorder. Unable to read or write, Abdu started to hum his tunes and write his lyrics to block out the negativity and started to home-school himself.
He was singing in the street bazaars of Tajikistan to provide for his family until the age of 17 when he was spotted and sponsored by Yasmine Safia who hails from the royal family of UAE, who then invested to harness and hone his skills and allowed him to travel all over the world.
He then made a move to Dubai.
Over the past couple of years, he has performed with some of the most reputed artists including A.R. Rahman, Redone, French Montana and Will I AM. Abdu's initial tryst with fame was during his public spat at a boxing press conference in Moscow with his opponent.
Abdu was last seen alongside Salman Khan in the film 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan'. He is also the youngest person to be granted a golden visa of 10 years to the United Arab Emirates and has made Dubai his second home.
