Just a few years ago, the sea was his everyday reality. For more than twenty years he worked as a sailor, and music was more of a distant dream than a concrete plan. In 2022, he went to defend Ukraine and, in a fierce battle, lost both of his legs. Rehabilitation brought him to the Superhumans Center, where he almost accidentally discovered music therapy through Victory Beats. It was there that he finally allowed himself to say out loud something he had been carrying for a long time — that he wanted to become a DJ. From that moment on, it was no longer just a thought.
Roman Cherkas, performing as Ro_Ma 4e, was among the first participants in the EnterDJ program and quickly proved that this was not just therapy, but real talent. He opened a charity event alongside the London label Hospital Records and has shared the stage with artists such as Degs, B-Complex and Tonika. Today, he continues to train to walk on prosthetics while refining his DJ sets. When he plays, he immerses himself so completely that even phantom pain temporarily fades. This is not just another festival set. It is the energy of someone rebuilding his life through music.
