Your international career began about five years ago and now you are one of the most popular Romanian singers. How did your adventure with music started?

As you can imagine, I knew from an early age that I want to be a singer. I started to perform in different talent shows and I think that the most important step for me was in 2009 when I participated at Mamaia Music Festival. I was only eighteen at that time.

The second single of yours released in September 2010 called "Mr. Saxobeat" hit the top of the music charts all over the world - even Selena Gomez covered it once. What in your opinion was so special about this song? Do you enjoy singing it live? 

I believe that with “Mr. Saxobeat” I brought a new sound, a happy tune that made all people dance. 

On 25 November 2014 you released your second album "Unlocked", which was your comeback after a short break from music in 2013. A lot of songs in the recording are written by you. What are your musical idols and what inspires you to write lyrics? 

I take my inspiration literally from everything. I let myself be inspired by people, movies, other artists, nature, clothes, everything. It depends on my mood and on the place where I am when I'm writing a new song. 

In June 2015 you released your new single "We Wanna" featuring another Romanian eurodance star Inna. How do you remember your collaboration with this singer? Can we expect another collaboration with Inna in future? 

Never say never, I enjoyed the collaboration with Inna, she’s a professional and she knows how to get to people’s soul. “We Wanna” is a song that represents both of our personalities. We are like a delicious milkshake of vanilla and chocolate. 

I guess singing is not the only thing that you enjoy in your life. What are your other hobbies besides performing on stage? 

I’m from the seaside so I enjoy laying down on the sand, I love swimming and relaxing on the beach. Also I’m a dynamic person so I like to spend time at the gym, to work out and take care of my body. In my free time I hang out with my friends who are very important to me. I read and I listen to a lot of music daily. 

Your future looks very bright, you have three million fans and they are waiting for your next musical steps. Are there any plans for the third album yet? Can we expect something even better than "Saxobeats" and "Unlocked"? 

I like to believe that I’m in a continuous evolution. With every day passing by I’m a different person. Besides that I’m a singer, I spend a lot of time in my studio composing and producing music.
