Vlad Belonozhko is a touring musician–turned–audio innovator and founder of Bellos Audio, launched in 2021 to redefine comfort and performance in custom in-ear monitors. After using CIEMs on stage since the early 2000s and encountering persistent fit and seal issues, he set out to improve the experience. Following his touring career, Vlad spent nearly a decade at 64 Audio (formerly 1964 Ears) as Director of Marketing, leading marketing, sales, support, and customer experience while gaining deep industry insight. Drawing on both musician and industry perspectives, he founded Bellos Audio to push innovation beyond traditional constraints, working today with longtime collaborator Vladislav Kulakevich to build products made by musicians, for musicians.
