What helps to keep balance in life?

“Music was my passion since the school years. I learned how to play the guitar on my own and by the time I started my education at university, I was playing the electric guitar in a band.”, — says Anton Kudashov.

Not only that, but Anton visited 26-countries during tours with different bands, covering most of Europe.

“Most people think that being in a band and going on a tour is all about partying, flying on a private jet or riding a giant bus from concert to concert without much trouble. But it’s not like that at all, especially for indie bands. It can get pretty rough, our bus broke down countless times, we missed several performances because of that. The conditions may be brutal sometimes and you are barely making ends meet. But it was still an amazing experience. Nothing can substitute that feeling of getting in front of the crowd, feeling their energy and playing your heart out. That’s what kept us going. And I try to keep this drive in everything I do, including Viaduct. Because I’m sure that if you give your best if you tackle hardships head-on, you are bound to achieve something great.”
