Muboraksho was born on August 19, 1961 in Rushon district of Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO) of Tajikistan.
From 1984 to 1987 he studied at Leningrad (present-day Street St. Petersburg) Leningrad Aviation Institute, but his early success solidified his desire to pursue a career in music
He died on February 8, 2000. Muboraksho spent his childhood in his home village of Emts (Russian: Емц) in Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO). At the age of 14, he composed his first song, "Chor javon" which later became an instant hit across Tajikistan, when it hit the radio waves in the late 1980s.
Muboraksho, or Misha, as fans endearingly knew him, started his professional music career in 1988 when he joined Daler Nazarov"s music group after he was introduced to Nazarov by Ikbol Zavkibekov, a professional musician and son of famous Tajik actor and musician Gurminj Zavkibekov.
The same year Muboraksho Mirzoshoyev"s music became very popular in Tajikistan. He was very close and dear to all Tajiks, as his music and lyrics, some of which borrowed from the medieval mystical Persian poets were able to capture the imagination of his fanbase.
His repertoire also included some very upbeat songs. One of his greatest hits was "Ay yōrum biyō" (in Tajik Ай ёрум биё) released in 1988, which has become a staple at weddings throughout Tajikistan.
Tajik cinematographer Yormahmad Aralov made a film starring Daler Nazarov and Muboraksho, which became a hit in the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics. Muboraksho played Shodkom in Kumir (The Idol), opposite of Khurshed, Nazarov"s character.
Many musicians, have made covers of Muboraksho"s songs including n.A.T.o. The Persian rock group Kiosk also made an Iranian cover version of "Ay yōrum biyō" as "Ay Yarom Bia" featuring Mohsen Namjoo. Muboraksho is a cultural symbol of the Tajik popular music of the 20th century, who had been among a very few artists that have had an enormous influence on the contemporary Tajik music scene.
His music has been one of the primary unifying forces among the diverse ethnic groups of Tajikistan.
He is cited as one of the major influences among the current Tajik musicians. He died on February 8th 2000 from the effects of bilateral pulmonary tuberculosis.
