Hi, my name is Alexander. Most people know me as Alex Bon.
It's hard to fit me into one word. Psychologist? Yes. Writer? That too. Musician? Recently. Vibe coder? Also me :)
My path started in the army. In remote forests hundreds of kilometers from home, I realized a paradoxical thing: you can live in hell but feel like you're in paradise. Since then, I've been searching for that state - and helping others find it.
I traveled a lot - lived in Yemen, India, and England, meditated in ashrams. I've been practicing mindfulness for over 30 years - it's not a hobby, it's a way of life. I earned two degrees (economics and psychology), worked in around a dozen professions, from entry-level positions to founding my own company. I was married, got divorced, and stayed on good terms. For the last ten years I've been living on my own. Well, not entirely - I have a cat.
At some point I realized that sound does the same thing I had been doing with words for years: it brings a person back to the present moment. That's how Alex Bon Space was born - a music project with the motto "deep sounds for dark times." Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms.
I live in Kyiv. The power sometimes goes out, creativity doesn't.
