Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Mongolian graphic designer/dancer B.Shijirbat received a Golden Buzzer at the second season of Asia’s Got Talent, which premiered on October 12 across Asia.

Hosts of the show Alan Wong and Justin Bratton pressed the Golden Buzzer together on the multimedia dance act after the 26-year-old Mongolian got a Yes from all three judges David Foster, Canadian record producer and songwriter, Anggun, Indonesian singer-songwriter, and Jay Park, American singer/actor. This is the first season in which the hosts were allowed to use the Golden Buzzer as one.

Shijirbat aka Canion is graphic designer by profession and dancer by hobby. “I am not exactly a very good dancer, but I do the best I can,” he said on the Asia’s Got Talent. “I listen to music and try to find songs that can connect with my emotions. When I feel that a song can express me, that is when I come up with the choreography,” he said.

Following the performance, judge Jay Park inquired if Shijirbat really choreographs the dance and designs the graphic background himself. “This is amazing. I have seen graphic designers and dancers and choreographers. But I have never seen a combination of all,” he said.

“This is definitely not the first time I have seen this kind of performance. But the story behind makes the difference,” said judge Anggun, before giving her approval.

“This is really good. Take my Yes to Mongolia,” said judge David Foster, expressing his wishes to see more from the Mongolian artist.

Shijirbat made his debut on the second season of Mongolia’s Got Talent last year, and his videomapping dance act performed with Alan Walker’s Faded went viral on social media and beyond Mongolia. He was voted a runner-up in the Mongolia’s Got Talent. Shijirbat also appeared on the 12th season of America’ Got Talent and was eliminated during the Judge Cuts.

Canion Shijirbat will thus enter the semifinals of the Asia’s Got Talent. It is notable that Canion is not the first artist to represent and glorify Mongolia at the Asia’s Got Talent.

Mongolian folk group Khusugtun competed successfully in the first season in 2015 and made it to the finals after mesmerizing the Asian audiences with the music of steppe nomads. Khusugtun became a runner-up in the show.
