I, Antokha Ms

The musician Antokha, the song “Oh, Music”, famous in narrow circles, the musician Antokha, who performed a bunch of fans in a couple of days, aroused great interest from Internet users. A quiet guy from the sleeping area of ​​Moscow created a mental musical concept in Russian. His clips “ Homeland ” and “ Time Tok ” scored hundreds of thousands of views in YouTube. Journalists who managed to be one of the first to make an interview with Antokha MS created Anton Kuznetsov (the real name of the performer) the image of a modest musician with a Soviet life in a lively life. The Internet was divided into two camps: the former admit love, the latter assure that there were no drugs without drugs, but those and others cannot tear themselves away from the video of Antokha with bizarre dances. Anton Kuznetsov told Samizdat “Butenka, you are a transformer” about music, smoking and grandmothers at his concerts.

Antokha MS began with social networks, which were originally created in order to communicate with friends. At that time, I did not expect any feedback, but simply shared what I live. I wanted to create an interesting musical concept, which, in my opinion, would become very pleasant. And getting a review or comment was not the main one.

I work with the manager, video operator and concert organizer. In general, the circle is large, but there is no tough separation of responsibilities. We work together to embody our ideas. The director, operator, musical consultation are responsible for the clips. Nobody leads me in the frame. There are only tips and knowledge that people offer. Everyone contributes.

Music is the basis of everything. To some extent, it is one of the simplest and most affordable forms of attracting people and the opportunity to convey to them what you want to say. She is like a bridge between generations. Understanding the past parents, how it was formed, its interpretation in our minds is expressed in the synthesis of music and text. Antokha MS is inspired by both Soviet and pre -revolutionary time until the Stone Age.

Different people come to my concerts: both schoolchildren and pensioners. At the last concert was an elderly man who asked for a chair. The same example can be my mother, who goes to concerts, supports. I have a large family, and they do not always manage to come together.

My acquaintance with Ivan Dorn was in the summer of 2016 in Kiev, at the Atlas Weekend festival. Ivan always had an interest in our work, and we understood that getting acquainted with him would be useful. Before leaving, we wrote to him: “Hello. We will be in Kyiv. How to the idea to perform a composition together? " We met on stage, rehearsed, and everything worked out. Prior to this, Dorn had already performed with our song at his concerts, so it was easy to work. Later, Ivan gave a concert in which I took a small part: I performed the musical composition “ Oh, music ”. I honestly admit that I would like to work with different performers. Question in time and possibilities.

The preparatory process is always going on to the stage, and the performance itself is an exam. It is necessary to draw up a plan, rehearse and calm down. Mandrazh is far from hand, and you need to get rid of it. Alcohol? I have not tried it. I have not heard such advice from people: "Antokha, here you have alcohol." Music gives a very strong message, the sounds themselves. The execution itself sets a positive tone.

Life requires that it be as many joys as possible. A garden sets a positive attitude, so in the summerary period I grow one bush at home. Which? Tomato. In any business, smoking is not key, so one use is not enough. We must sweat.

I can’t say that I'm an introvert. I can characterize myself like this: an ever -young, healthy, active person. I am originally Anton Kuznetsov. Antokha MS is one big idea that consists of enormous work, so I'm talking about Antoch from a third person. So this is not a split personality. In any case, the apple from the apple tree will not fall: I am a part of Antochi MS.
