How music therapy has impacted our visitors — they share their stories with us.
Even before arriving at Superhumans, Maksym had already heard about our Victory Beats therapy and planned to fully immerse himself in it. And he immersed himself so much that it was impossible to imagine a single class without it – and not a single performance by our improvised band in the couple of months he was with us.
He shares what music therapy has given him personally in this video.
Ilya came to Victory Beats music therapy almost by accident, but purposefully. He underwent his rehabilitation at the Superhumanscenter, but lived in another institution several dozen kilometers away and had to travel every day either by the center’s special transport or by several minibuses. Evening classes were almost unrealistic, which upset him, because Ilya had been a musician in the past and dreamed of returning to his favorite activity.
But almost simultaneously with his arrival at Superhumans, preparations for a concert with the band “Zhadan and Sobaki” began in parallel. This was a sign and the choice was made. Ilya instantly became the soul of the company, actively joined the process and helped a lot in group classes. Dreams must come true, so what followed were performances for Prince Harry, Howard Buffett, at a big Superhumans reunion and with the lead singer of “Druha Rika” Valeriy Kharchyshyn , and many other pleasant events.
Ilya tells how music therapy affected him in this video.
We met through the EnterDJ.com program, where I mentor in recreational DJing.
Roman brings more than just music — he brings resilience, depth, and clarity of intention.
A year ago, Roman was severely wounded at the frontline and lost both legs. After entering rehab at the Superhumans Center, he discovered our art therapy project Victory Beats. Despite everything, Roman decided to return to music — something he dabbled in back in the 2000s. Now he’s learning the craft anew, exploring modern tools and shaping his sound with precision and care.
This debut mix is the result of many drafts, revisions, and late-night sessions.

On April 24, an incredible event took place - Maksym took an important step towards his dream: learning to play the organ.
Maksym is a military man who, having lost parts of his fingers, did not lose his strength of spirit and thirst for music and the fulfillment of dreams.
Thanks to the Lviv Museum of the History of Religion, Maksym was able to experience all the greatness and beauty of organ music, hear fascinating stories and chat with the incredible Ms. Olena Matsenyukh. She hospitably welcomed us, shared her warmth and demonstrated her mastery of playing the organ.
The first chords that Maksym played are already making my goosebumps. This is just the beginning of a great journey that we will be happy to follow in the future!
Before the full-scale invasion, Roman was a sailor - a boatswain on a tugboat. In March 2022, he went to war as an infantryman. He lost both legs in battle. While undergoing rehabilitation, he ended up at Victory Beats music therapy, where, under the mentorship of Vlad Fisun, he was able to realize his long-standing dream - to learn to DJ.
Music has always been a strong passion for Roman, and DJing has given another unexpected and positive effect. "When I play, my phantom pain disappears," he says.
Currently, Roman continues to experiment with styles and find his own style of playing. And now he presents his first public set, compiled from classic hits from the 90s-2000s.
