Ondref Krajnak is a Slovakian musician.
Krajnak was born on March 1, 1978, in Levice, Slovakia. He came from a musical family. At six, he was already playing classical music and participating in various competitions for young talents. At age ten he heard jazz for the first time. Krajnak became so fascinated by this new form of music that, in the same year, he participated in a young jazz artist competition- Jazz Fest Zilina, where he was awarded the 'Discovery of the year'.
When Krajnak was 14, he began to study at the Erkel Ferenc Jazz Academy in Budapest (HUN) under Robert Ratonyi. During this period he participated in various musical competitions in Europe, such as a jazz contest in Poland, where he won a special award, and a piano contest in Hungary, where he was awarded best artist in the category "solo piano". After graduation he obtained a scholarship at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, which he rejected to start his active career.
He established himself on the European jazz scene. He has recorded over 40 albums and performed at concerts all over the world.[1]
