Jančík was born in Poprad, Slovakia on June 23, 1992.[2] He started to attend music school and to play the violin at the age of 6 and throughout the years he received tutoring from several renowned professors. He moved to Vienna, Austria at the age of 17 to pursue further music studies.[3] A year later he decided to focus on the combination of classical music with contemporary genres and he started touring Europe with his production. He has since performed in many countries, including Austria, Sweden, USA, Russia, Kuwait, Finland, Singapore, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Slovakia and more.[4]
At the age of 22, he was invited to record the Avril Lavigne song Fly, for which he composed the violin parts, and performed it with her live at the opening ceremony of the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games.[5][6] He also performed as a featured guest at Karel Gott's concert in 2018[7] and he collaborated with David Koller, Loreen and Lillie McCloud.[5] In 2018 he toured his home country Slovakia and performed his renditions of movie soundtracks.[1] He returned for a second tour in 2021.[8]
He does not employ the services of any agency, rather he organizes and promotes his concerts on his own. He also arranges and produces the music and prepares the dramaturgy for the concerts himself.[9]
As of 2021, he resides in Vienna, Austria.[2] He has been in a relationship with Slovak endurance rider Lucia Supeková since 2018[10] and they got engaged during his concert on September 14, 2021.[11] As a child he used to play tennis as well, but ultimately decided to focus on playing the violin.[12]
