Text: Evgenia Yudintseva

In an exclusive interview with the site, the sexiest singer of the RU.TV music award according to the readers of our portal, Dan Balan, described the girl of his dreams, told what he could never forgive a loved one, reflected on real men, admitted that he could never sell his soul to the devil , and also invited everyone to his big solo concert on November 29 at Arena Moscow.

website: Dan, there are hundreds of pages on the Internet dedicated to your work, but there is absolutely nothing about your personal life. How did you manage to protect yourself from the ubiquitous journalists?

The Romanian media wrote a lot about scandals involving my participation. And they made everything up. The Romanian press is very cruel, probably the most cruel in the world. And at the same time unprofessional. For the sake of ratings, they come up with stories out of nowhere, just to sell it. As for the last few years of my creative activity in Russia, yes, I can’t boast of any gossip or scandals. I don't like it.

“And I never talk about my personal life.”

website: Then at least describe the girl of your dreams?

The girl of my dreams does not exist. When I meet my woman, I'll just know that it's her. I'll feel it. It is stupid to endow future love with some qualities. Of course, I have already identified the important points for myself. For example, she should be natural in everything, self-confident, very gentle... But I do not rule out that a girl will appear who will have completely different qualities, but I will feel so good next to her that everything that I now imagine came up with, it will turn out to be completely unimportant.

website: Are you generally in love or are you waiting for that very meeting?

“What, you can’t be in love and wait for that very meeting at the same time?! Well, if there is no that great love, should I remain alone? A person cannot fall in love every day. But I have these beautiful feelings, when compared with other people I know—my friends—probably appear more often.”

website: What should a person do for you to stop communicating with him?

Betray me.

website: Don't you forgive?

I forgive. But this does not mean that I should continue to communicate. Relationships are not only about forgiveness, in relationships it is important to trust a person, this is generally the most important thing. And when he betrays you, it is very difficult to trust him later.

website: Could you take your best friend's wife away if you realized that this is your soul mate?

I would never do such a thing. Even if I fell in love very much.

website: What is real male friendship for you?

I wouldn’t like to say platitudes... A true friend is someone to whom you can tell everything when you feel bad or - especially - when you feel good. After all, many will readily support you in difficult times, but there are very few who know how to sincerely rejoice for you.

website: Do you believe in friendship between a man and a woman?

I know that such friendship exists, but I have never had it. In my relationships with girls, usually one of us had interests of a different nature.

website: Can you describe a real man?

We can say that a real man should be strong, smart, confident, honest, support his family, not betray... But this is all lyrics. Life is different. You cannot classify real men based on any criteria. There are weak men, but they are also real. They're just different, and it's good that they exist.

website: Could you allow the woman to be in charge in your relationship?

No, it's against my nature. Only weak men can allow this to happen. Strong men will never allow this. They are the breadwinners and they must take matters into their own hands.

website: You are very attractive in appearance. Does this mean a lot to you?

Compliments are pleasant for any person. If someone tells you that it is unpleasant for him that others like him, do not believe him. But this is far from the most important thing in my life. And from a professional point of view, this, of course, worries me. I work in the pop industry, where appearance is as important as the music itself.

website: Imagine the situation: you appeared in a public place and no one recognized you. What will you experience - relief or disappointment?

I don't care at all. I don't think about it at all.

website: What can make you angry?

I don't care. When I do something important and other people are involved in this process, mistakes are often inevitable. If the mistakes are professional, I react normally to it. But when it’s clear that everything happened because the person simply didn’t care about his work, and because of his mistake a lot of things change for the worse, for example, during a concert, I can get very nervous.

website: Are you a comfortable person in everyday life or a hot-tempered one?

“I'm very calm. I never scream. Friends and family have to try very hard to make me angry, and even then, most likely, they won’t succeed. I am good at controlling my emotions.”

website: Do you like to take risks?

I love. If the goal is worth it. After the great success of the O-Zone group in Moldova, I decided to take the next step and enter the Romanian market. It was very difficult then. No one from Moldova has yet signed contracts with Romanian record labels. I developed a strategy of action. To do this, I had to sell everything I had at that time, plus borrow a lot of money. Although it was very risky, we shot an incredibly expensive video, but in the end everything worked out, it was worth it!

website: You were born in Moldova, live in New York, often come to Moscow, travel around the world... And what city on earth can you call home?

There is no such city anymore. I have my own life in New York, in Bucharest too, my parents live in Chisinau, and I always come there with pleasure. In general, I spend more time on the road than in the destinations themselves, and I feel better when I travel.

website: Is there anything you want so badly that you would be willing to sell your soul to the devil for it?

“I would never sell my soul to the devil.”

In general, this is very dangerous - I read books and watched films about it. And there aren’t many temptations left. I am the kind of person who is not so passionate about something that I would give anything for it.

website: You are soon expecting a big solo concert in Moscow. How do you prepare for it?

Preparations are in full swing. We are preparing a 2-hour program where songs from the new Freedom album will be presented. Part.1. We are currently recording a double album. The first part will be released very soon. It can be called rather semi-new, because there are songs both well-known and not.

Personal life of Dan Balan

Vera Brezhneva and Dan Balan - Petals of Tears

There were rumors that while working on the song “Petals of Tears,” Dan had an affair with Vera Brezhneva. “I laughed when I read in the press that while working with Vera, we almost got married. It's a bullshit! Vera, of course, is incredibly beautiful, and also a pleasant person, but she is married, for me this is sacred. And by the way, we only saw her a few times; we mostly sent recordings of our voices to each other over the Internet,” says the artist.

Dan Balan was born on February 6, 1979 in the capital of Moldova, Chisinau, in the family of Ambassador Mihai Balan and TV presenter Lyudmila Balan. Until the age of three, Dan lived with his grandmother Anastasia Balan in the village of Trebuzheny. His mother Lyudmila Balan was a very popular TV presenter, so Dan Balan got acquainted with the world of show business by coming to her work. Dan sang his very first song when he was 3 years old. On Moldavian television he presented a song by the famous singer Nadezhda Chepraga. His mother, being a television presenter, gave him this opportunity, but, unfortunately, no one saw this performance because the cameras were turned off. It was his mom's idea to make her son believe he was a superstar. From grades 1 to 8, Dan Balan studied at the Theoretical Lyceum "M. Eminesku", at which time he began writing poetry. In 1987 he won his first competition and after that one of his poems was published in the most popular magazine at that time, NOI. In 1988, Dan made his first appearance on the television show "Semaforul". Then his parents bought him his first musical instrument - an accordion. In 1990, at the age of 11, Dan began composing his first melodies. At that time his favorite style was the waltz. In the early 90s, he became interested in martial arts and dancing, following the example of Jackie Chan and MC Hammer, his idols. Later he completed an accordion class at the music school "A. Stircea", and then - in music. school "N. Seaga". According to some sources, Dan Balan was involved in choreography. In 1992, his parents bought him his first guitar and Dan turned his attention to rock music. At that time, the band "Metallica" became his new idol and he began writing rock songs. In 1994, at the school Festival, Dan performed on stage for the first time with one of his songs together with his friend. That same year, Dan wrote a song for his mother's television show and received national recognition for the first time. In 1994, Dan's father Mihai Balan was appointed Ambassador of Moldova to Israel. Dan and his family moved to Tel Aviv (Israel). There he entered the "Tabetha school", where he studied for 1.5 years. While in Israel, Dan continued to compose new songs. There he first recorded in a studio and went to the Scottish School. After which Dan Balan returned to Chisinau. His parents always wanted him to study law and, after passing the exams, he entered the Faculty of Law of the Moldavian State University. That same year, his parents bought him his first synthesizer. Dan Balan In January 1997, Dan decided to become a professional musician. He left the University of Law and changed it to the University of Music "St. Neaga". There he studied musical compositions, double bass and piano. At the same time, he also took bass guitar courses. Dan played in Pantheon bands, and later formed his own team Inferialis, which played in the style of gothic doom metal. Dan Balan was responsible for the keyboard part and composed the music. The group became very popular in the underground environment of Moldova. In January 1998, Dan Balan changed the musical direction of "Inferialis" to pop rock, but he soon realized that he needed to leave this style for a while, since rock was not popular. But Dan knew that he would return to him. The group Inferialis disbanded in 1998. Dan acquired the necessary equipment to perform popular dance music and began to learn how to create arrangements. His first work "De la mine" was released that same year in October. It was followed by the biggest hit of 1999 in Moldova - “Dar, unde esti...”. However, his desire was to create a boy band because boy bands were very popular at that time. Therefore, in September 1999, Dan Balan created the first fight band in Moldova, “O-zone,” consisting of two people: Dan Balan and Petru Jelihovski (soloist of “Inferialis”). In the fall of the same year, the guys went to Romania and recorded 3 songs there: “Timpul trece fara noi”, “In doi”, “M-as trezi”. The first single released by the group "O-zone" was "Timpul trece fara noi". A few months later, "O-zone" became the number 1 group in Moldova for a long time. In the same year, Dan Balan and his mother made a TV show "Tanti Ludmila Show", which became the most successful TV show ever in Moldova. Balan was the producer of this show, wrote the script and music for it. On June 3, 2000, the first album of the O-zone group, Dar unde esti, was released, consisting of 11 songs written and produced by Dan. The album was a huge success. 7 singles from this album became mega-hits, including "Fiesta de la noche", "Crede-ma", "Te voi iubi", "Ciao bambina", "In doi", "Dar, unde esti...", "Timpul trece fara noi". In the summer of the same year, the O-zone group began their first tour in Moldova. The tour was crazy. The whole country sang O-zone songs. In December, Dan Balan wrote the Christmas song "Sarbatorile de iarna" for the Christmas special of "Tanti Ludmila Show". Since then, it has become a national song for Christmas and New Year and was heard everywhere in Moldova at this time. In the spring of 2001, Dan Balan decided to take things to another level and chose the Romanian market for this. However, his O-zone bandmate Petru was not so interested in Dan's grandiose plans, since performing in the group was more of a hobby for him. Balan needed a serious attitude towards the project he was preparing, so at this stage the guys parted peacefully. All O-zone fans were extremely disappointed. They blamed Dan for everything, declaring that they would not love the new lead singers of the O-zone group. Dan decided to hold a casting to select new members for his group. He wanted there to be 3 people in the new "O-zone", but he didn't choose anyone. However, when the casting was already completed, his vocal teacher introduced him to a young man in whom she saw potential. His name was Arseniy Toderash. He was a very nice guy with a lot of potential, but he had some problems with vocals since he just started doing it. But Dan believed in this guy and gave him a chance to prove himself, as it turned out later Dan was not mistaken. At first, Arseny only read rhymes in some songs from the first album. In the same original way, Dan met the third member of the O-Zone group. One morning the young man called Dan and said that he missed the casting because he found out about it too late. This is how Dan met Radu Sirbu. Radu had a wonderful voice, but had many noticeable problems with his image and dancing. This did not bother Dan Balan. Thus, the new formula "O-zone" was born: Dan, Arseniy and Radu. By that time, Dan had written 4 songs for the group (“Numai tu”, “Number 1”, “Nopti fara de somn” and “Am sa te chem”), which were recorded in Romania within 2 weeks. In the fall of 2001, two songs “Numai tu”, “Number 1” were released in Moldova, but “O-zone” was not popular with its new lineup... Then Dan began to make plans to conquer the Romanian market. Nobody believed that musicians from Moldova could become popular in Romania. Nevertheless, Dan Balan knew that nothing was impossible. To begin with, he needed more financial resources to prepare the project: he bought a studio and recorded a video for the song “Numai tu” with a large budget for Moldova and Romania at that time. Several more songs were then recorded, including "Sarbatoarea noptilor de vara" and "Nu ma las de limba noastra" (which was the number 1 song for O-zone under the new lineup). In 2002, the group signed a contract with the Romanian record company Media Services and released the album Number 1 (Russian Number 1). The songs Numai Tu (Russian: Only you) and Despre Tine (Russian: About you) became hits in Moldova and Romania. In 2003, the album DiscO-zone (Russian: DiscО-zones) followed with the worldwide hit Dragostea Din Tei (Russian: First love or Love in the linden trees). Which became an absolute hit not only in its native Moldova and Romania, but also in Europe, Russia, Japan, and also reached the USA and Latin America. A huge number of covers and parodies have been created for this song in many languages ​​of the world. On the European Hot 100 Singles chart, the song stayed at number one for 12 weeks and sold 12 million copies worldwide. The melody "Dragostea din Tei" did not leave indifferent even such stars as T.I and Rihanna, who used it in their composition "Live Your Life" (2008), which became a super hit in the USA and lasted 6 weeks at first place on the Billboard Hot 100 chart . At the beginning of 2005, the O-zone group ceased to exist, the members began solo projects. Dan Balan decided to return to where he started - rock music. He selected the best musicians in his homeland and moved with them to Los Angeles that same year. Despite the fact that Balan came to the United States as a member of a popular group, it took him about two years of hard work to realize his solo project. In search of his own signature sound, Dan was helped by the famous producer Jack Joseph Puig, who had previously worked with John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, No Doubt, and the Rolling Stones. As a result of the experience gained, the bright project “Crazy Loop” was born, which surprised and amazed his fans. Under this name, Dan released the dance hit "Crazy Loop - Mm Ma Ma" (2007). This song revealed new qualities of the artist, including an excellent sense of humor and a fair amount of self-irony. The song received a great response in the Internet community, including thanks to the excellent video, shot by director Marc Klasfeld in Los Angeles. Later, under the pseudonym Crazy Loop, the album The Power of Shower (Russian: Energy of the Soul) was recorded, which was released on December 1, 2007. On December 1, 2009, a presentation of a new album called Crazy Loop Mix took place in Chisinau. The name of the album is explained by the fact that it combines the results of the singer’s work under the pseudonym Crazy Loop and under his own name (on the album itself the artist is listed as Dan Balan). As an artist with a bright personality and versatile talents, Dan decided not to stop there and move further towards the most progressive direction at the moment - electronic dance music. In February 2010, the single Chica Bomb was released, which took first place in the charts around the world. And again Dan gave everyone a surprise and demonstrated new sides of his talent and a new image. In support of the single, a frank and attractive video was shot, emphasizing all the pressure and passion that Dan put into the composition itself. The director of the video was the famous Hype Williams, who had previously directed videos for such superstars as Missy Elliot, Kelis, LL Cool J, Jay.Z and others. On July 31, 2010, Dan presented in Moscow a new song, Justify SEX, which topped the official Russian chart. On October 29, 2010, the Love Radio radio station premiered Dan Balan's joint song with Vera Brezhneva - Petals of Tears; the song also topped the official Russian chart, becoming the 3rd of Dan's three singles that peaked at number 1. Also, the song “Chica Bomb” at the end of 2010 became the winner in the category “Foreign single, male vocal” (511 thousand repetitions on air) and took 2nd place in the final TOP 800 chart for 2010. The most famous record labels in our country fought for the right to collaborate with Dan Balan. As a result, he settled on one of the oldest domestic recording companies, Gala Records, with which the contract was signed in February 2010. Today Dan released a new fiery track Freedom, the presentation of the video for this song sparkled with the number of Russian pop stars. Freedom is already heard on all radio stations in the country.

The creative path of Dan Balan / Dan Balan

Dan Balan Graduated from music school in accordion class. In 1993, he received a diploma from the Mihai Eminescu Lyceum. He was fond of music since childhood, played in the bands Pantheon, Inferialis and preferred the style of gothic doom metal.

“My parents, of course, saw that music interested me, but they could not even think that it would become my profession. Moreover, I told them about my choice in 1997, when there was not a single pop star in Moldova yet and you could be a musician either by playing in a symphony orchestra for 10 dollars a week, or at weddings. Both options ultimately meant beggary and starvation. And then I tell them that I am leaving the prestigious law university I just entered for the sake of music. Of course they were shocked!

In 1998 Dan Balan wrote his debut solo song De La Mine and a year later created a group O-Zone together with his friend Petru Zhelikhovsky.

“I knew that major record companies receive tons of demo tapes every day and the chances that they would choose my disc from this pile and listen to it are negligible. And I used a trick: I asked my mother, an incredibly impressive woman, to give the disk to the manager. I had no doubt that he would definitely be interested in what kind of music such a beauty writes. And so it happened. The deception, of course, was quickly revealed, but the material was so good that it no longer mattered: we started working with this company.

In two years Dan Balan and his new stage colleagues, Arseniy Toderas and Radu Sirbu, presented the album Number 1 to the audience.

The singles Numai Tu and Despre Tine became hits in Moldova and Romania. Then Dan Balan and group O-Zone recorded the composition Dragostea Din Tei, which brought the musicians worldwide fame. The song topped the European Hot 100 Singles chart for twelve weeks.

In 2005 the group O-Zone broke up, and its members took up solo projects. Dan Balan created a team called Balan. He also released the album The Power of Shower under the alias Crazy Loop in December 2007.

In 2009, the presentation of the Crazy Loop Mix disc took place in Chisinau, and a few months later the hit Chica Bomb took the top lines in the domestic charts. In the summer of 2010, Dan Balan performed the single Justify SEX, and in the fall, viewers heard the premiere of the composition “Petals of Tears” Dana Balana and Vera Brezhneva on Love Radio.

In the spring of 2011, the song Freedom was rotated on Radio NRG, and six months later the lyrical composition “Only Until the Morning” entered the charts of all radio stations in Russia.

In May 2012 Dan Balan released video clips for the singles “Not Loving” and “Love”.

To date Dan Balan He spends almost all his time in New York, where he has been collaborating with the Mercy recording studio since 2006.
