Gjon Delhusa (9 Aug 1953, Budapest - ) is a Hungarian singer, composer and lyricist, and the cousin of singer Gábor Ihász and footballer Kálmán Ihász. He is most notable for being the 1996 representative for Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest 1996.

Early life

Delhusa was born on the 9th of August 1953 in Budapest. His mother, Elizabeth Ihász, was Gábor and Kalman Ihász's aunt. His paternal grandparents were Greek and Albanian and his maternal side was mixed German-Hungarian.

Eurovision

In 1996, he was chosen via national final to represent Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest 1996 in Oslo with the song Fortuna, but was eliminated in the audio-only qualify round. The system was unique, but also had its controversies, as along with Hungary, Germany, one of the main financial contributors to the contest, had also been eliminated. This caused the system to be disposed of after that year.
