Since 1985, the lead singer of the band is Dan Bittman.[9]

The band is known for hits like Banii vorbesc, Dincolo de nori (which Dan Bitman also sung at Eurovision Song Contest 1994),[10] Ți-am dat un inel, Undeva departe, Să nu-mi iei niciodată dragostea, Viața are gust or Cât de departe.[11] In November 2000, Holograf launched Holografica, which was sold in over 100,000 copies in the first two weeks.[6][12][13] In 2003 the band launched Pur și simplu, album which was sold in over 250.000 copies,[6][12][13] and received gold and platinum certification.[14] In order to promote Pur și simplu, Holograf started touring in Romania for fifty days.[6] On the 10th of October 2006, Holograf released a new album called "Taina". The disc contains 10 new songs,[15] and the first single to be promoted from the album is called "Ești atât de frumoasă" (You are so beautiful). On July 10, 2009, Holograf received a Gold certification from UPFR for record sales of the „Primăvara începe cu tine” album.[6][16] Holograf performed at five editions of the Golden Stag Festival, in 1993, 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2009,[17] and multiple times at the Mamaia Festival since 1987[18] and Callatis Festival.[19]
