Personal life
Junas was born in Bratislava, Slovakia. His mother, Helen, was an opera singer, and his stepfather, Jan, was a singer and theater director.
He emigrated to Canada before the Velvet Revolution, later returning to Slovakia, where he campaigned for political party Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS) ahead of the 1999 Slovak presidential election.[1] Junas was involved in a serious traffic incident in Bratislava in 1997, failing to yield at a stop sign and hitting a truck. He sustained a fractured skull and spent a month in hospital.[2] He had a second, less serious experience in the same city in 2008, when he was hit on the passenger side by another vehicle, although did not sustain any injuries.[3]
He married Denisa Kráľová at a launch event of one of his albums in April 2005,[4][5] when he released a greatest hits CD, titled Snívať celý život.[6] He has two daughters, Sandra and Daniela.
Career
Junas began acting and singing as a teenager. Shortly afterwards, he decided to pursue a career in acting when he was cast in a 1984 television show entitled Triangel. During the 1990s, he ventured into the music industry, and has since made 8 albums, one winning a European Grammy. Junas has also dabbled in modeling, landing campaigns for Ford, Honda and Kenvelo.[citation needed] He was one of the presenters of the 2006 Anděl Awards, held at the ČEZ Aréna in Ostrava in 2007.[7]
