Although he had been performing since he was five, when he was singing on the stage of art school and even was a part of a tour to France at nine, Kostya Leontovich didn't start playing the guitar until he was fourteen. He received his first guitar lessons from his father and as a teenager started his own punk rock band. Then he played at the University musical group. At this time, Kostya began to write songs and by 2005 had about a hundred of them. The same year he founded the alternative rock band PICK-UP. They performed a lot and released one full length album and several EPs and singles worldwide.

2011 Against the Flow – EP

edit

Besides being the main singer-songwriter for PICK-UP, Leontovich has also made musical contributions outside his band and worked as a solo artist. In June 2011, he released his debut EP, Against the Flow, independently, playing almost all instruments. The lyrical depth to Kostya's songs reflect his faith in God and personal experience.

2013 MusicBall Rock School

edit

Kostya started teaching guitar lessons during his school years and a lot of experience, number of students, as well as personal methods led him to the idea of creating an educational institution in which besides ordinary guitar lessons, the student will be able to play in a band, perform at the rock shows and recording songs in the studio. Thus in 2013 Leontovich founded MusicBall Rock School.
