Early life

Beni Hafner was born in Tegernsee and grew up on the Hafner-Alm, a mountain pasture run by his parents. They ran a restaurant and an animal sanctuary there. At the age of 17, he briefly emigrated to Mallorca to work as a chef. He then studied hotel management. After four years, however, Hafner returned and began working as a singer-songwriter. He adopted the stage name "Oimara", which is Bavarian for "Almerer", meaning someone from the alpine pastures. A particular trademark is his Bavarian dialect.

Musical career

Oimara's first major success was the mobile phone video for "Bierle in da Sun", which was viewed 1.4 million times. His debut studio album, Bierle in da Sun, was released in 2018 via Bogner Records. A Quantum Prost followed in 2020, which received little attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, as all performance opportunities were canceled. In 2020, he released the title song for director Sebastian Schindler's comedy Mit dem Rückwärtsgang nach vorn with Otto Anna Maoam.
Oimara's third studio album Wannabe was released in 2022. After a large number of singles, his breakthrough came in 2025 with the single "Wackelkontakt", which reached number 1 on the German singles chart and became the après-ski and carnival hit of the 2025 season. According to media reports, it was the first number-one hit sung in Bavarian since "Skandal im Sperrbezirk" by Spider Murphy Gang.
