Paradox - Sergey Kapitonov - Our group based on 2008. I created together with Tatyana Kozhevnikova, who is deaf and dreamt to become a model and actress. I dreamt about music career and
I offered to her make music group. I wrote first our song “Angel”, but we our not professional singer, we can’t sing, so we had translate it into gestures, later but we sang only chorus in song.
ML&L - How did you meet each other?
Paradox - Sergey Kapitonov - With Tatyana we studied in the same school. But later she moved another school for deaf-mute people.
At first I didn't know any gesture, but later some my friends taught me how to speak with hands. Gesturing helped to talk with Tatyana.
It's already been 17 years since we are friends. As to Alina, I met her in cafe.
Paradox - Alina Kendysh - I worked in restaurant as a singer. Once Sergey celebrated his birthday in our restaurant.
Then he found me on VKontakte and wrote that he have the music group, unusual group by deaf-mute Tatiana and himself, who doesn't hear well.
So for me it’s so unusual and in some way interesting. By the same token I'm up for anything except a hunger strike. I had agreed to be a part of group as a soloist. Soon we have recorded a first song “Angel”.
