Early life
[edit]Barami was born on 16 February 2000 in Bratislava. He grew up in the Petržalka district of the city. Before entering media, he worked as a bartender at several establishments while pursuing interests in music and gaming, including League of Legends and FIFA. He began his online career producing light-hearted TikTok videos about relationships, which built his initial following before he pivoted to long-form interview content.
Career
[edit]OSKISHOW
[edit]Barami is the founder and host of OSKISHOW, which launched on 18 August 2022 as a casual podcast in which he sat with friends to discuss stories, news and personalities from the Slovak entertainment scene.[2] The format subsequently evolved into a full-scale interview programme producing long-form conversations with politicians, public officials, business figures, entertainers and athletes. As of 2026, it has published approximately 100 episodes.
The programme is distributed across YouTube (under the channels @oskishow and the archive channel @oskarozhovory), Instagram, and TikTok. Exclusive content is available on the subscription platform HeroHero at herohero.co/oski.
