Born in Baku, Mirzazada was active in music, acting, and chess from childhood.

While a student, he balanced cultural initiatives with professional training, volunteering at the 2015 European Games and 2016 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. These experiences built his skills in teamwork, event management, and cultural representation.
His acting career began with Buta (2011), followed by the Cannes-selected short Torn (2014). In 2016 he starred in Shanghai, Baku, and in 2019 he landed his first leading feature role as Mahmud in End of Season, which premiered at Rotterdam and earned him international acclaim and a Best Actor award in Moscow. Over time he built a filmography of 24 screen appearances, including short films, TV productions, and teleplays. Parallel to cinema, he performed in 34 theatre productions, ranging from Shakespearean drama to Azerbaijani classics, and became a member of the Azerbaijan Theatre Workers Union in 2019.
In addition to performing arts, Mirzazada built a career in hospitality and retail. He held management roles in Baku hotels and tour companies before relocating to Dubai in 2018, where he advanced in luxury retail operations and event consultancy. His professional philosophy, "Life is service - whether you serve a guest, an audience, or a customer, always give your best," reflects his combined careers.
Through his brand Mimo's Collective, launched in Dubai, Mirzazada promotes sustainable fashion, curated e-commerce collections, and content collaborations. He is active across social media platforms where he shares content about acting, travel, hospitality, lifestyle, and his 5 cats, often described as the brand's mascot.
