In light-front formalism, the nonperturbative properties of hadrons are summarized in light-cone distribution amplitudes (DAs). I show how these DAs enter the theoretical calculations of B-meson decays to light mesons. For this purpose, AdS/QCD is used to obtain the light meson DAs, an idea supported by diffractive vector meson production data. I end my talk with a look at the AdS/QCD predictions for the pseudoscalar mesons.
