Konstantin was born in 1974 in the Soviet Ukraine. In 1992 he immigrated to Melbourne, Australia together with his parents and his sister. During the six years spent in Melbourne Konstantin completed his degree in Mathematics and worked for several years as a software consultant, all while taking drum lessons, playing guitar and socializing with the members of B2 - the #1 best selling Russian rock band of 2001.
