is undoubtedly one of the most unique artists in domestic show business. He was born on July 19, 1999 in Melrose in the United States, where his parents had emigrated during the communist era. It was there that he grew up, sang and learned to play the piano and trumpet. He moved to Poland in 2017, starting studies at the Academy of Music in Katowice. At that time, he had no idea that three years later his name would be known by everyone in the country on the Vistula River.
Which edition of “The Voice of Poland” did Krystian Ochman win? This was the gateway to his career
In 2020, the singer decided to try his hand at taking part in the 11th edition of the program. During the casting, he turned around two of the four seats and eventually joined Michał Szpak’s team, under whose wing he won. Shortly afterwards, he released his debut single “Światłocienie”, and after its success, he released three more equally hit songs. In September 2021, he sang the song “Prometeusz” on stage 58, for which he received the Audience Award, and two months later his debut album “Ochman” was released on the record market.
Since then, his career has rapidly gained momentum. In 2022, he represented Poland at the 66th edition and although he was a candidate for victory, he ultimately took 12th place in the final. At the beginning of 2023, he released the single “Cry for You” in a duet with the Ukrainian hip hop band Kalush, which was an announcement of his second album titled “Testament”.
Is Krystian Ochman the grandson of Wiesław Ochman? Few people know that the singer’s father is a famous musician
Few people know that Krystian comes from a family with musical traditions and is not the only person who has made a name for himself in the industry. His father, Maciej Ochman, played the synthesizer in a Polish rock band, and then worked as a sound engineer on American Discovery television. In turn, his grandfather achieved international success. Wiesław Ochman is a renowned opera singer. He was associated with the Silesian Opera in Bytom, then the Opera in Kraków, and later joined the cast of the capital’s Grand Theater. Since 1967, he has performed on stages all over the world, including: in Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Vienna, Rome, Paris, Madrid, Moscow, Chicago and San Francisco. He has received many prestigious awards, including: Order of Polonia Restituta, Honorary Award Witold Hulewicz for promoting Polish culture abroad, and was also awarded the Gold Medal by the Minister of Culture.
Krystian Ochman, in a sense, owes his career to his grandfather. – I once played the role of a prince in the musical “Cinderella” in the United States. My grandfather heard me and said that he felt that I had great potential and vocal abilities necessary for the style of opera singing – he told Viva, adding that it was then that he decided to study in Poland. – It’s great to have such a grandfather – he added proudly.
