The generation of "zero" gave the world a huge number of talented musicians, among whom was Dan Balan. The biography of the artist began on February 6, 1979 in Chisinau. His parents, the TV presenter and the ambassador, tried in every possible way to develop Dan, and therefore from an early age he attended a large number of circles and sections of various kinds.
The artist began to show musical inclinations at the age of 4 years, introducing himself as an artist of the stage. Studying in the third grade, Dan tried himself as an aspiring poet, presenting his work to the court of teachers and classmates. On his eleventh birthday, Balan received an accordion as a present from his father. It was on this instrument that the singer began to compose his first songs. At first, Dan Balan only created waltzes, since for most compositions in modern musical genres, the accordion is used very rarely.
In 1994, the artist's family moved to Israel in connection with the appointment of his father Dan. For a year and a half, Dan Balan, whose biography is known to many fans of pop music today, was forced to get used to the new environment and new people, after which he returned to his native Chisinau, where in 1996 he graduated from the lyceum.
After receiving a secondary education, the singer entered the Moldavian State University, where he decided to study law. As a student, he sings in the little-known rock band Panteon, soon the idea of creating his own musical project appears in his head, so in 1997 the band Inferialis appeared.
However, the project did not last long, and already in 1998 Balan began working in the studio to record his own compositions. A year later, a talented musician creates the O-Zone group, and his former colleague Petru Zhelihowski helps him in this. The first songs of the group attracted the attention of audiences and music critics.
Two years later, Dan and Peter decided to leave, Zhelikhovsky did not like to work in a pop group. Dan Balan, whose biography and photo was already known almost all over the world, invited Radu Syrbu and Arseniy Toderash to work in the O-Zone. The team continued to tour successfully in Moldova. In 2002, the band released their debut CD, dubbed Number 1. Two songs Despre Tine and Numai Tu literally blew up the Moldovan charts.
The next DiscO-Zone album allowed the group to strengthen its position in the world charts. Much of the success was ensured by the hit Dragostea Din Tei, which instantly scattered across Europe and was incredibly successful. The musicians immediately went on their first tour, which took place with huge full houses.
In 2005, the team broke up, and its members began a solo career. Dan decided to be called in the English language - Dan Balan. The biography of the singer began with a clean slate after he organized the pop-rock band Balan and presented to the public a new version of the song Dragostea Din Tei. In parallel, the musician created an album called The Power of Shower, using the pseudonym Crazy Loop.
In 2010, the whole world learned who Dan Balan is. The biography of the singer again made a sharp turn, this time after the release of the song Chica Bomb. Soon there were duets with Russian and foreign pop artists, which brought the musician popularity. Dan now lives in the United States, where he has his own recording studio.
