## Career

ProBass and Hardi was formed in the city of Kremenchuk in 2017. In the early years, many hits were released that occupied the top positions of the charts of Ukrainian radio stations, entered the tops of Shazam and streaming services. "Indy", "Asha", "NAJA-NAJA" can still be heard in the concert program on a par with new tracks. The band began giving concerts and headlined at the festivals "RADIO DAY" (2019), "RED BULL FESTIVAL" (2019), "SOLOMAFEST" (2019), "RADIO DAY" together with NAONI (2021), "ATLAS WEEKEND" (2021) and in October 2021 released its main track "Good Evening (Where Are You From?)".
The iconic phrase that is now quoted during addresses by governors, millions of citizens, the military and even the president of Ukraine, said Marko Galanevych, the leader of the DakhaBrakha band during a concert in the United States, with his permission a fragment that was included in the track was used.
After the Russian military invasion in 2022, the track flew around the world and became a symbol of Ukraine's invincibility. It has now garnered fifteen million views and inspired almost 800,000 people to create videos on TikTok. At the beginning of the full-scale war, the band wanted to put their creativity on pause, but seeing how music can support the military, volunteers and refugees, they decided to do everything for victory with the help of songs. Therefore, later they released "Nastane Den" and "Kozaky Ydut" - collaborations with the young singer Anna Bulat, who became a member of the band, and a collaboration with KHAYAT "Do Boyu", as well as a solo nostalgic track "Govorit Kyiv". The singles have garnered millions of views and still hold high positions in the Ukrainian charts.
The band began touring with charity concerts collecting aid for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and refugees throughout Ukraine and Europe. As part of the charity tour, performances took place at the concerts "100 Days of Invincibility of Ukraine", the first concert in Kyiv since the beginning of the war, the charity show "I am with you" that was shown on the air of the telethon, at the "Metronome" festival in Prague, the "ATLAS #RashaGoodbye" festival (2022), and gave solo charity concerts in Poland, Lviv, Chernivtsi, Kyiv, Kremenchuk, Kalush, etc., the band also gave a charity concert in the Dnipro metro at the "Vokzalna" station. On Independence Day, the concert "Ukraine Fights" was held on the air of the telethon, where the band performed together with NAONI and the ballet. Millions of dollars in aid were raised at charity concerts with the band's participation. On 28 July, on Ukrainian Statehood Day, Ukrposhta presented the stamp and envelopes "Good Evening (Where Are You From?)", and the band performed at the stamp redemption on Mykhailivska Square in Kyiv. On the Independence Day of Ukraine in 2022, the band presented an updated version of “Good evening, we are from Ukraine” together with the NAONI folk instrument orchestra and the first official video clip for this track.
