Dado achieved fame in Uzbekistan and other CIS countries, producing such hits as Yuragim ("My heart"), Benom ("Nameless"), Лето (Leto, "Summer") and "Chat-Pat" ("Discotheque"). Several of Dado's music videos have been broadcast by MTV Russia.

The duo disbanded in 2008. Despite this, they released the single "Космонавты" ("Kosmonavty") along with remixes of their old songs in 2012. One of the band members, Rustam Madumarov, dated Gulnara Karimova, the elder daughter of late Uzbek President Islam Karimov.[2] In 2014 he was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment by an Uzbek court on charges of tax evasion and stealing assets worth millions of dollars.[3] The Panama Papers revealed that Madumarov owned a large number of companies overseas, which were believed to belong to Karimova.[4]
