Max Bilonogov

Max Bilonogov was born on January 7, 1993, into a bohemian Ukrainian family of People's and Honored Artists of Ukraine. That environment shaped both his upbringing and his vision for life.

From the age of three, Max was already taking part in TV shows and films. He was a restless, curious child who tried everything — vocals, solfeggio, piano, football, taekwondo — and by the age of 14 had won awards in dozens of Ukrainian and international vocal and piano competitions. He completed ten years of musical education in the piano class at Kyiv Children's Art School №5. As a teenager, he became fascinated by computer games — a passion that would later define his career.

Max graduated from the Kyiv National I.K. Karpenko-Kary Theatre, Cinema and Television University with two master's degrees — one in Drama Theatre Direction and one in Film Direction. He studied relentlessly, almost around the clock, and after classes sought out theatre and film studios to learn even more, spending his free time working as a voice-over actor in films and cartoons. During his studies he began working as a director's assistant at the STB TV channel; after two years, he left to join WePlay Studios.
