He focuses on traditional Mongolian instruments such as morin khuur, tsuur and tovshuur, also Mongolian throat singing as one of his main performances. The folk music he plays is mainly from Khorchin region, where a great amount of Mongolian folk music and genres were born.

Currently Khairkhan is trying to create a new concept of experimental Mongolian folk music as a 21st century nomad that lives in the city, there is a meaning of keeping the roots passed down through centuries but in a modern method.
