Early life
Rozik was born Muhammadroziqi Savriqul on 23 September 2003 in Ghizhdarva, Panjakent, Tajikistan. He was born into a Muslim family of father Savriqul Muhammad and mother Rooh Afza, who both worked as gardeners. He has two brothers and two sisters.
As a child, Rozik was diagnosed with rickets, a growth hormone deficiency which could be cured with appropriate medical treatment. However, his family could not afford to have him treated, leading to his stunted growth.
Due to his family's poverty, Rozik was often out of school. He sang for tips in markets and on streets of Panjakent.
Career
Beginning in 2019, he received mentorship and financial support from Tajikistani rapper-blogger Baron (Behruz). Baron even convinced Rozik's father to let Rozik pursue singing. After getting permission, Rozik and Baron moved to Dubai.
Rozik sang various Tajikistani songs like Ohi Dili Zor, Chaki Chaki Boron and Modar. In 2021, he uploaded a video of him singing the Hindi song Enna Sona by Arijit Singh. In 2022, he was invited to attend the 22nd IIFA Awards ceremony in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates where he sang the Hindi song "Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga" from the 1994 film 1942: A Love Story. He dedicated the song to Salman Khan.
In 2021, he challenged Russian MMA fighter Hasbulla Magomedov, who also has dwarfism, to a fight, but the Russian Dwarf Athletic Association (RDAA) did not approve, calling it unethical.
In October 2022, he participated in Bigg Boss before which he acted in the Hindi film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.
