Oláh János was born in Balassagyarmat in 1985. He has been active as a violinist for more than twenty years, gaining extensive experience on both Hungarian and international stages. Throughout his career, he has performed at numerous events, hotels, restaurants, aboard cruise ships and at exclusive functions, both as a member of various ensembles and as a soloist.
A defining part of his international career was the more than thirteen years he spent performing aboard Costa Cruises ships. During this time, he played for audiences from all over the world and gained extensive experience of different musical cultures, audiences and performance settings.
He plays both acoustic and electric violin and is equally at home performing solo, with backing tracks or alongside DJs, as well as in duos, trios and larger orchestral ensembles. His diverse repertoire ranges from classical music, jazz, pop, film music and tango to crossover, Latin, bossa nova, international hits, and Hungarian and international entertainment music.
As a performer, he places great importance on professional stage presence, establishing a direct connection with the audience, and adapting his musical programme to the character and atmosphere of each event. He also brings his versatile performance experience to the Hungarian Royal Gypsy Orchestra.

I spent more than thirteen years of my musical career performing aboard Costa Cruises ships, playing for audiences from all over the world. I enjoy playing both acoustic and electric violin, and I particularly love being able to move between completely different musical styles within a single programme.
