Constantin formed his first band in Athens in the age of 14called "The Unreined" . The band's music was a mixture of Classic Rock and Grunge with soft verses but heavy choruses. The band was very popular around the underground scene with a single performance gathering 3,000 people audience. They had more than 30 gigs just before they split up. After the band members followed their own path, Constantin found himself in London studying Music Tech and Audio Production trying to develop the quality of his music and expand his musical horizons.
Constantin started his music career in London working as a residence engineer at Tribal Tree Studios. There he met with Jaz and together with the artist JP (Chris Lock) they formed Triangle Records.When Tribal Tree Studios shut down, Triangle Records operated Tribal Tree Studios for almost a year. It was at that time when nearly the entire London underground music scene paraded from Tribal Tree Studios and with Constantin in the control room they where producing and mixing music for MTV Base, 1Xtra and Channel U.
The latest studio is called Sound Surgery and is where Constantin and Jaz are writing, producing but also rehearsing for an array of gigs coming up. " I'm putting a number of skills together to deliver music that last through time. I never believed in overnight success but I always respected the connection between me and the audience."

Said shit done changed ever since we was on
I dreamed it all ever since I was young
They said I wouldn't be nothing
Now they always say congratulations
Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation
They ain't never had the dedication
Yeah, we made it
My momma called, seen you on TV, son
Said shit done changed ever since we was on
I dreamed it all ever since I was young
Thеy said I wouldn't be nothing
Now they always say congratulations
Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation
Thеy ain't never had the dedication
People hatin', say we changed and look, we made it
Yeah, we made it
They was never friendly, yeah
Now I'm jumping out the Bentley, yeah
And I know I sound dramatic, yeah
But I know I had to have it, yeah
For the money, I'm a savage, yeah
I be itching like a addict, yeah
I'm surrounded, twenty bad bitches, yeah
But they didn't know me last year, yeah
Everyone wanna act like they important
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But all that mean nothing when I saw my dog
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everyone counting on me, drop the ball
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everything costing like I'm at the bottom, yeah, yeah
If you fuck with winning, put your lighters to the sky
How could I make sense when I got millions on my mind?
Coming with that bullshit, I just put it to the side
Balling since a baby, they could see it in my eyes
My momma called, seen you on TV, son
Said shit done changed ever since we was on
I dreamed it all ever since I was young
They said I wouldn't be nothing
Now they always say congratulations
Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation
They ain't never had the dedication
People hatin', say we changed and look, we made it
Now they always say congratulations
Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation
They ain't never had the dedication
People hatin', say we changed and look, we made it
Yeah, we made it
The song Congratulations by Post Malone ft. Quavo is an anthem of triumph in the face of adversity. The lyrics, mainly delivered by Post Malone, depict his journey from a nobody to a somebody, and how he had to work tirelessly to get to where he is now. The first verse starts with a conversation between his mom and him where she says how the world has changed since he made it big. He then goes on to talk about how he always had the dream of making it and how everyone told him that he couldn't do it. But, now he takes satisfaction in hearing them say congratulations and acknowledging his hard work. He points out that he no longer remembers how to vacation because he's been working so hard, something that his detractors never had the dedication for.
The second verse by Quavo references back to Post Malone's training period when everyone around him was unfriendly to the point that they wouldn't even acknowledge him. Now, however, his situation has changed and he can even afford a Bentley. He mentions being a money-hungry creature who is always striving for more. All this while ignoring those who try to bring him down. He then makes an interesting analogy comparing himself to an addict who is always itching for a fix. The chorus is repeated twice and serves to stress that he wants to celebrate his successes without listening to those who hate on him.
The song is an anthem for anyone who has gone through rough times and has come out on top. It is a celebration of the underdog who managed to overcome his skeptics and reach the top. At the same time, it also reinforces how hard work and dedication are necessary to achieve success.
