Outrageous always attracts the attention of the public. Even if the antics of celebrities are not always worthy, one way or another, society turns its gaze towards eccentric artists. One of the groups that, thanks to their image and undoubted talent, attracts the attention of millions of people is the Ukrainian team called Quest Pistols. Members of the boy band have been making the hearts of their fans and fans beat faster for a long time. The group tours Russia and the CIS countries tirelessly, interrupting only to record new videos and songs. The soloist of this group is the bright and outrageous Anton Savlepov. Photos of this handsome man now and then flash on the glossy pages of various publications. His "highlight" is a nuclear cocktail of charisma, talent, artistry, musical data and shocking. He has a completely atypical appearance for the national stage. And Anton Savlepov makes good use of this. Let's see how an ordinary Ukrainian boy became the idol of a huge number of fans.

Childhood

The biography of the soloist of the pop-rock band begins in Ukraine. It was here that Anton Savlepov was born on June 14, 1988. Place itbirth was the small village of Kovsharovka, located in the Kharkov region. From childhood, the boy showed interest in creativity. No one could have imagined that his passion for music and dancing would develop into something more. Anton loves bright shows since childhood. His idol is Michael Jackson. It was the clips of the king of pop that revealed all the facets of dance and songs to the Ukrainian boy.

Road to ballet

At the age of sixteen, Anton Savlepov enters a break dance festival. There, among a huge number of people, he unmistakably singles out a person who will later become his real and closest friend - Nikita Goryuk. Two ambitious and talented guys quickly became friends - and after a while Anton comes to visit his friend in Kyiv. Savlepov liked this city so much that he, without hesitation, moved to the capital of Ukraine for permanent residence. In Kyiv, a young man enters a prestigious educational institution called the Kyiv National University of Culture and Art (KNUKiI). As a future profession, he chooses the speci alty of a choreographer. However, he was not destined to become a dance teacher. Anton Savlepov studied at the educational institution for only a year. In 2006, the producer and former breakdance dancer Yuri Bardash notices the extraordinary data of a talented young man. He invites Anton to become a member of the novice ballet group Quest. It was here that the formation of a vibrant musical group began.

First triumphant performance

On April 1, 2007, Quest Pistols made their first public appearance. Anton Savlepov, Nikita Goryuk and Konstantin Borovsky - three Ukrainian guys - decided to try their hand at the TV talent contest "Chance". Initially, the ballet trio appeared on stage only with dance numbers. However, this time the audience was in for a surprise. It's an April Fool's joke, so to speak. They sang.

The trio appeared before the jury and the audience with a cover composition "I'm tired" for the song of the famous band Shocking Blue - Long and lonesome road. The image that young people skillfully applied was absolutely new on the Ukrainian stage. If you add to it a mind-blowing performance, you get a "mixture" that cannot be resisted. The composition became a real hit: the audience enthusiastically voted for the newly minted stars, and the television air was ready to explode from the excitement around the sparkling song. Sixty thousand spectators supported the young team. This first performance made the Quest Pistols instantly famous.

Runway

The debut video was released in June of the same year. And immediately got into rotation on many music TV channels. Outrageous and eccentric guys, singing anti-glamour, quickly gained popularity not only in Ukraine, but also in other countries. Quest Pistols have participated in many music festivals in Europe. In particular, in Belgium they made a grandiose statement in support of a he althy lifestyle. Notably, all participantscollective are vegetarians.

At the end of November 2007, the group presented their first album called "For You". In May 2008, this disc reached Russia. The number of sales exceeded all reasonable expectations - and the debut album was recognized as "gold".

Achievements

In 2008 Anton Savlepov and Quest Pistols receive their first award. At the prestigious annual MTV Ukrainian Music Awards, they receive a prize in the Debut of the Year nomination.

Followed by new compositions and new achievements. The author of most of the group's songs is Izolda Chetkha. However, the work of Nikolai Voronov is added to her work. It was he who became the author of the popular song "White Dragonfly of Love", which in the cover version became the band's single. This and two more songs ("He is near" and "Cage") were included in the second album of Quest Pistols.

Departure and return

In 2011, the band faced challenges. Anton Savlepov announces his resignation. The young man's personal life was not the reason for this act. As the soloist stated, he needs a sabbatical. However, the parting of the musician with the team was short-lived. A few months later, Anton returned to the group that he considered his family.

In addition to his musical career, Savlepov is also busy in the cinema. In small episodic roles, he starred in several projects: “Exchange Wedding”, “Like Cossacks”, “Big Difference”.

Not so long ago, photos appeared on the Internet whereAnton Savlepov and his girlfriend pose while sitting on a motorcycle. However, fans should not worry: the young lady is not the chosen one of the musician. The artist's heart is free.
