Today we’d like to introduce you to Konstantin Podyachev.

Hi Konstantin, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My story in the United States started in 2014 when my wife and I moved to California with our three years old son. We made a fresh start. The first few years were pretty challenging for my family and myself.

With two graduate degrees and solid hands-on experience in management, construction and music, it was not easy to find a worthy application for my skills.

Busboy, Bar-back, Mover, Uber Driver, Dishwasher Installer – these were my professions for the first few years. I have never complained about doing any of these jobs. I needed to feed my family, and I was happy with everything that appeared on the horizon. From the very beginning, there was no illusion that in a new country, we should build our path from the ground up.

2016 was a major year when everything shifted. Working full-time as a dishwasher installer, my family and I came to the conclusion that we simply can’t afford living in the US. Even I was doing 50-60 hours a week in my main job, worked all available night shifts and doing Uber all weekends. It simply was not working out. I had to send my family back to Russia until I figured something out.

At that moment, I was basically homeless. I slept in a small studio space in Hollywood on Santa Monica and LaBrea, which we were renting with a friend of mine. No kitchen, no shower. Just a sofa that I found on the street and a table left by previous tenants. I remember those moments when I’d be taking free gym passes on Groupon all over Los Angeles just to take a shower, haha.

This is how the first Union Recording Studio was open. People call this place OG (original) Union because that’s where it all started. Even though we have nine studios at the moment, that first studio is still there open and operating as a reminder that everything starts small.

Now, in 2022 I can see the first results of our commitment and determination. MIX Recording Studio, ZOOM Recording Studio, and Union Recording Studio are my kids that were born one after another in the last few years. We have a strong Winning Team, obsessed with growing up high to the space and making this World a better place with our products and results.
