Even at a young age, he demonstrated a remarkable affinity for music, which would eventually become his life's passion.The southern folk genre of Tajik music known as Falak, which literally translates to "the firmament," was Kholov's field of expertise. His expertise as a multi-instrumentalist was honed to perfection, and he became particularly proficient in the dutar, ghijak, and setar, which are instruments that are of great cultural significance in Central Asia. He received his formal training in Shashmaqam at the Conservatory of Music in Dushanbe, which provided him with a strong foundation upon which he built his illustrious career.

He brought the rich tapestry of Central Asian music to life through his performances that stirred the soul, and he transported audiences to realms of profound contemplation and transcendence through his performances. Kholov's songs went beyond the realm of mere entertainment, providing listeners with a glimpse into the divine.
