In 2003 si 2005 acest contract a fost prelungit pentru ca ambele parti au fost multumite de acesta colaborare.

Iulie 2000 apare primul single si videoclip “Fat Frumos”. Acesta piesa a socat publicul romanesc fiind retinuta si agreeata de copii, tineri , oameni maturi dar si persoane in virsta . Tot in acesta perioada apare primul album“Sorel”.

In 2001 apare maxi-single-ul Fill-Fill de pe care (fapt unic pina in acest moment) au fost extrase 2 single-uri . La piesele “Vand Fan” si “Eterna si Fascinanta Romanie” au fost facute deasemenea videoclipuri. In 2002 apare albumul Goanga si doua noi clipuri : “Goanga” si “Din Dragoste”. In 2003 Ca$$a Loco face prima piesa in care colaboreaza cu o voce feminina: ”E rindul tau”, videoclip realizat de Andreea Paduraru. Acesta piesa apare la rindul ei pe albumul “De Senzatie” – 2004 . “Ce Bine Imi Pare Ca Ai Luat Teapa” si “American Dream” sunt inca doua single-uri de succes de pe acest album.

In 17 noiembrie 2005 s-a lansat cel mai nou album Ca$$a Loco – “Mergi Blat”. Primul videoclip de pe acest album e deja prezent pe posturile de tv specialitate.

Data de 25 noiembrie aduce un alt lucru inedit de la Ca$$a Loco. Un roman de dragoste scris de Leonard Muha. Acesta se numeste “Un Rol Pentru Andra” – editura Polirom.

Alte lucruri importante despre Ca$$a Loco:

• unica trupa romanesca care nu canta despre dragoste, sentimente, “ai venit si m-ai parasit”, prezenta in singurul top romanesc autorizat si agreat, RT100, care a avut zeci de prezente pe locuri fruntase si doua piese in top10: “Vand Fan” – 2001 (locul 2) si “Ce bine imi pare ca ai luat teapa” 2003 (locul 7) . Alte piese prezente in Rt100 : “Fat Frumos”, “Eterna si Fascinanta Romanie”, “Goanga”, “Din Dragoste”, “American Dream”, “Cea Mai De Treaba Fata Din Lume”.

• Clipul piesei “Vand Fan” a fost nominalizat la premiile revistei Tv Mania la sectiunea “Cel mai bun clip” al anului 2001.

• In 2001 am debutat ca prezentatori. Emisiunea prezentata de noi “Vara Ispitelor” a avut cele mai bune cote de audienta pentru o emisiune estivala. Audiente neegalate pina acum.

• 2002 a insemnat continuarea carierei de televiziune. Serialul Ca$$a Loco (difuzat in perioada aprilie – iunie dupa o idee originala Ca$$a Loco) a avut 14 episoade si este primul sitcom pentru tineret din Romania. Un lucru foarte bun a fost faptul ca pe linga publicul clasic Ca$$a Loco (4-18 ani) serialul s-a bucurat de un succes apreciabil si in rindul altor categorii de virsta sau sociale. Compania Coca-Cola prin marca sa Fanta a fost partener la acest serial, spiritul produsului respectiv fiind potrivit cu cel din “Ca$$a Loco”.

In 2010 revin pe piata muzicala cu un nou single, de data aceasta alaturi de Casa de discuri Roton. Piesa, “La mall”, este asa cum ne-au obisnuit, plina de umor, pozitiva, pe care nu o poti asculta acasa, in masina, la serviciu sau la mall, fara sa razi. De aceasta data, au fost luati in collimator mall-istii, adica cei care practica un singur sport: mersul la mall. Ii recunosti usor pentru ca le plac lucrurile kitch-oase si aripioarele picante. “La mall” este deja un succes, atat in mediul online unde a adunat sute de mii de vizualizari, cat si pe radio fiind foarte apreciata de Dj-i. Si Cassa Loco nu se opresc aici. Cei 3 “nebuni frumosi” au revenit si intentioneaza sa stea in lumina reflectoarelor o buna perioada de timp.

English Version

Ca$$a Loco means Bogdan Muresan, Cosmin Tudoran and Leonard Muha – one of the funniest and craziest musical projects that Romania has to offer. And yes, they are Loco indeed!

They released their first single called „Fat-Frumos”(Prince Charming) in 2000, and their style that mixes hip-hop with satire (sometimes even self-oriented) and hilarious and dynamic lyrics made them an instant success.
In 2001 they releasted the maxi-single „Fill-Fill” that actually (and this is and unprecedented event so far) produced not one, but TWO hit singles – “Vand Fan” and “Eterna si Fascinanta Romanie”, each accompenied by a video. The next album was called „ Goanga” and was released in 2002 and the third – „De Senzatie” in 2004.

By now, the range of subjects stinged by the band’s sharp and ruthless sarcasm was quite wide. The songs „Goanga” , „Din Dragoste” („Goanga” album excerpts) and ”E rindul tau”, “Ce Bine Imi Pare Ca Ai Luat Teapa”and “American Dream” („De Senzatie” album excerpts) were all huge hits and made three Locos a musical entity to be feared.

They like to describe themselves as „the only romanian band that doesn’t sing about „come to me, be with me, why did you leave me” kinds of subjects and that actually managed to produce quite a few chart-toppers”.

Fast forward to 2010 – after being „good boys” for a little while, Ca$$a Loco are ready to get back in the game, funnier and crazier than ever. „La Mall”, their new single, is impposible to listen without bursting into laughter, as the three guys analyse and make fun of a very special „creature” – the romanian mall-goer, from the obsession for spicy wings to kitschy clothes and tons of hair gel. All the trademarks of a „maller” are ruthlessly satirised in the unique Ca$$a Loco style.
What can we say, they’ve done it again! And may they never stop, because they’re just too smart and funny!

Primul show live Class a avut loc pe 16 noiembrie 1994, in discoteca Why Not, din Bucuresti, cu ocazia unui bal al bobocilor, unde au interpretat singura lor piesa, de atunci : Syncronize.

La scurt timp, a urmat colaborarea cu Scoala Vedetelor. Timp de un an, cei patru tineri au experimentat munca in echipa din televiziune si au avut sansa de a aparea lunar in emisiunea Scoala Vedeelor (regizata de Titus Munteanu), interpretand piese din repertoriul propriu. Primul succes a fost piesa Raspuns, clasata pe locul doi, in selectia finala Eurovision 1996.

In acelasi an, canta in deschiderea recitalului trupei 2UnLimited, in cadrul festivalului Cerbul de Aur, unde lanseaza A dui, doina (prima piesa etno-dance din muzica romaneasca), ce ajunge in scurt timp un mare hit. La finele anului, cu sprijinul Sfinx Experience, Class lanseaza primul album dance din Romania, intitulat Raspuns.

Intre 1997 si 1999, trupa sustine concerte in toata tara, participa la doua editii ale festivalului de muzica Mamaia, avand parte, in acelasi timp si de numeroase aparitii TV.

Pe 22 iulie 1999, sub sigla NRG!A Roton, formatia lanseaza, in clubul Maxx, din Bucuresti, al doilea album- Aproape de tine. Piesa care da titlul albumului beneficieaza de un videoclip- fiind primul din cariera trupei si totodata, primul videoclip al unor artisti romani, filmat de postul de televiziune Atomic TV.

Albumul include si alte hituri, cum ar fi: Inca o data, Danseaza in noapte si Simti Energia- piesa nominalizata la Premiile Muzicale Ballantine’s 1999, la categoria Cel mai bun cantec pop-dance.

In vara anului 2000, Class lanseaza albumul Color, cu sprijinul casei de discuri Media Pro Music. Albumul s-a vrut a fi unul inovator, care sa imbine diferite genuri muzicale: electro- pop, rock, dance. Trei piese au fost lansate ca single, Spune-mi ce simti, Toata Lumea (locul 5 in RT 100) si Mama Spunea- ultimele doua beneficiind de videoclip.

In 2001, cei patru “dau lovitura” cu primul hit- single, no. 1, intitulat Te visez mereu , extras de pe EP-ul Hipnotizat, fiind al doilea material sub egida Media Pro. Urmeaza numeroase turnee in toata tara si campanii de promovare in colaborare cu Pro FM.

Din pacate, succesul trupei, din acea perioada, este “umbrit” de decizia Mihaelei Florea de a parasi proiectul Class. Artista hotaraste sa se mute, alaturi de sotul sau, in Germania, unde incepe o cariera ca profesoara de muzica.

Anul 2002, marcheaza noi schimbari in cadrul trupei- proiectul se reintregeste, in februarie, alaturi de Anca Badiu, iar pe 24 iulie lanseaza LP-ul Intr-o zi, ultimul alaturi de Media Pro.

Albumul este unul de succes, fiind sustinut de super hiturile Intro- zi (locul 2 in RT 100) si Luna mi-a zambit (locul 1 in RT 100, timp de 7 saptamani consecutive si cea mai difuzata piesa romanesca in anul 2003-record absolut, pana atunci).

Tot in 2002, participa la finala Eurovision cu piesa Povestea unei mingi, castiga premiul MTV Romania, pentru cel mai bun videoclip dance, pentru Intr-o zi (regizat de Andreea Paduraru) si sunt nominalizati la EMA Barcelona, la categoria Best Romanian Act.

Succesele contniua la Premiile MTV Romania 2003, unde Class castiga premiile: trupa anului si best pop song- Luna mi-a zambit.

Pe 14 februarie 2004, se lanseaza, in clubul Maxx din capitala, albumul Pentru Dragoste, fiind primul material alaturi de noua casa de discuri Media Services/ CAT Music.
Piesa care da titlul LP-ului, ajunge un super hit (locul 1 in RT 100, timp de 2 saptamani consecutive) si castiga best pop song, in cadrul Premiilor MTV Romania 2004. Din varianta re-editata a albumului este extras pe single, piesa Singura Iubire (Locul 2 in RT 100, locul 1 la Europa FM).
In 2005, videoclipul piesei Na, na, na (regizat de Dragos Buliga) si extras de pe albumul Evo (al doilea alaturi de CAT Music), face furori la toate posturile muzicale din tara. Ce pot sa fac- al doilea single din “perioada Evo”, este totodata, ultimul in formula cu Anca Badiu. In mai 2006, solista hotaraste sa intrerupa colaborarea cu formatia Class, pentru a se dedica unei cariere solo.

Urmeaza o perioada mai linistita, din punct de vedere muzical- cei trei membrii ramasi in trupa: Mihaela, Vlad si Florin dedicandu-se proiectelor personale.

Albumul cu numarul opt si ultimul in colaborare cu CAT Music, lansat in vara anului 2007- intitulat Infinit este sustinut de doua videoclipuri: super hitul Ocean in Desert (locul 7 in RT 100, Locul 1 la MTV Ro Chart, Locul 1 la Europa Fm) si Castel de nisip (highest new entry in RT 100, locul 45).
Urmeaza o perioada lunga, foarte incarcata de concerte, festivaluri si turnee in toata tara…dupa care o noua perioada de pauza, timp in care Class se retrage in studio, pentru a lucra la noi piese proprii, dar si pentru colaborari cu alti artisti.

Dupa mai bine de doi ani, timp in care, membrii trupei s-au dedicat vietii de familie, revin pe piata muzicala din Romania, in vara anului 2010 cu un nou single intitulat Legal si cu un nou nou contract semnat cu label-ul Roton.

English Version

In the fall of 1994, four enthusiastic young people were laying the foundation of a new musical project – Class. Brother and sister Vlad and Mihaela Cernea together with Mihaela Florea and Florin Cojocaru chose carefully when it came to naming their project, and “Class” seemed to be the perfect option. Class served both as a catchy name in romanian and in english and somewhat of a “musical creed” of the new band’s mission, which was a “classy” approach to dance music.

Their first public appearance was on the 16th of november 1994, at a high school dance, where they performed their only track at that moment – “Syncronise”.
Shortly after, they started their collaboration with “Scoala Vedetelor” (The School of Stars) a well known romanian TV show. For over a year they had monthly TV appearances, and had the opportunity to get their songs heard. Thus, the first big hit came to be – the track “Raspuns” (Answer) , the first runner up at the 1996 National Eurovision Song Selection.

The same year they oppened for 2Unlimited and they released the FIRST romanian etno-dance track – “A Dui, Doina”- which soon became a huge success. Naturally, an album followed, and not just any album, the FIRST romanian dance album. Entitled “Raspuns” the LP was released with the support of Sfinx Experience at the and of 1996.

After another two years of concerts all around the country, in 1999, they released their second album “Aproape de Tine” under the label NRG!A ROTON. The track that named the album was also the first single released and was accompanied by a video, the first of their career. The album featured a number of hits – „Inca o data”, „Danseaza in noapte” and „Simti Energia”.

In the summer of 2000 they released their third album -“Color” – an inovating material featuring a fusion of electro-pop, rock and dance. The album produced three hit singles: “Spune-mi ce simti”, “Toata Lumea” (no. in RT 100) and “Mama Spunea”.

In the summer of 2001 they released thier first No.1 hit single – “The visez mereu” – off the “Hipnotizat” EP. Unfortunately their succes was somehow shadowed by Mihaela Florea’s decision to leave the band and move to Germany with her husband. But the “Class” story wasn’t going to stop there, although they were down one member.

Anca Badiu was the one that filled the empty spot and with her came a new EP entitled “Intr-o zi”, which became a huge success, featuring the smash-hit singles: “Intr-o zi”, that won the “Best Video” award at the MTV Romanian Music Awards (no.2 in RT 100) and “Luna mi-a zambit” (No.1 in RT 100, for no less than 7 consecutive weeks, becoming the most aired song of 2003).
The same year they were one of the nominees for “Best Romanian Act” at the European Music Awards held at Barcelona.
The band seemed to be on a winning spree since in 2003 new awards came their way – “Best Band” and “Best Pop Song” at the MTV Romanian Music Awards.

Two successful albums later ( “Pentru Dragoste” in 2004 and “Evo” in 2005) Anca decided to leave the band to pursue a solo career. And after the rollercoaster of releases and accomplishments of the past few years, a quieter time was more than welcome for Mihaela, Vlad and Florin.
Class released the eighth album of their career (the first as a 3-piece-band) in the summer of 2007. Entitled “Infinit”, the album produced two hit singles – the smash hit “Ocean in Desert” and “Castel de Nisip” (highest new entry in RT 100, no.45).
After a long period of time filled with concerts and tours it was time for Class to take a new hiatus from the limelight, to work on some individual projects but mostly to devote themselves to their families.

After more than two years away from their fans, 2010 is the year of the COMEBACK! With a new hit single – “Legal” – and a new record deal with ROTON. Class is ready to take on the charts!

La debut Corina a facut furori cu imaginea de fata putin inabordabila, sexy, putin timida dar in acelasi timp foarte hotarata sa te cucereasca.
Lansarea celui de-al doilea albumul IMI PLACE … TOT! in anul 2005 ne-a prezentat o alta fata a Corinei. Aceeasi si totusi diferita, pentru ca ei nu-i place sa joace roluri, e hotarata sa fie aceeasi si pe sticla, si pe scena, si acasa.

Odata cu albumui IMI PLACE …TOT !, Corina a inceput ore de coregrafie avandu-l drept profesor pe CRBL de la Simplu si sa se pregateasca intens pentru concertele ce vor urma.
Schimbarea nu a venit fara munca. Multa munca de studio pentru pregatirea albumului, ore lungi de coregrafie, filmarea, deloc usoara a unui videoclip in luna decembrie (pe 24 decembrie mai exact) , la aproape -15 grade Celsius.

In toamna anului 2005 Corina a lansat cel de-al doilea single de pe albumul IMI PLACE …TOT, “Fara tine”. “Fara tine” s-a bucurat de un mare succes in randul ascultatorilor de radio iar clipul a rulat saptamani intregi pe Tv.
Anul 2006 inseamna pentru Corina lansarea unui album, “Face Off”, cu ajutorul caruia te provoaca sa o redescoperi… mai matura, mai dinamica, mai provocatoare… altfel.

Corina “Face Off”, inseamna un mix de stiluri: dance hall, reggae, drum’n base cu hiphop, house cu electro, garage, pop, R&B, break beat, toate pastrand insa amprenta Corina..
Cu siguranta, la capitolul ce ne place, pe un loc fruntas, se afla stilul abordat de Corina. Un stil complex si elaborat cu grija, dar foarte simplu. Corina ne invata cateva trucuri foarte utile ca sa fim ,,sexy, trendy, cool’’. In primul rand imaginatia sta la baza abordarii unei tinute cat mai altfel. Chiar si cel mai banal tricou, si cea mai banala pereche de jeans, se poate transforma intr-un obiect vestimentar in tendinte, cu ajutorul unor mici scamatorii. N-ai nevoie de multe carti de credit, doar de putina inventivitate. Ce mai usor cand doresti sa iti transformi garderoba, este sa iti pictezi hainutzele mai vechi, sa le dai un aspect glamour cu ajutorul paietelor, al cusaturilor si al aplicatiilor de tot felul. Nu ai nevoie de un stilist personal. Trebuie doar sa iti placa schimbarea. Asa sustine Corina, si daca la ea functioneaza, de ce nu ar functiona la toata lumea?

Crush insemna Radu si Sorin. Cei doi semneaza muzica si versurile majoritatii pieselor de album. Mutati de putina vreme in Bucuresti, Radu si Sorin si-au pus bazele propriului studio, chiar la ei in apartament. Muzica este pasiunea celor doi astfel încât cei doi au petrecut ore în studio pentru a definitiva albumul.

Radu Cernautan, un Taur adevarat, are 24 de ani si este student al Academiei de Studii Economice, sectia Management. A facut cursuri de chitara si pian si considera muzica drept scopul lui in viata.

Sorin Seniuc isi contrazice zodia, Berbec, fiind un tip calm si sensibil. A absolvit electronica iar printre pasiunile sale se numara plimbarile si filmele.

Alexandra Ungureanu este un Capricorn ambitios si tenace care de mica si-a dorit sa sa cante. Alexandra este un nume cunoscut iubitorilor de muzica si datorita colaborarilor cu Paula Seling, Sistem si Holograf. Desi foarte tanara, Alexandra si-a castigat respectul colegilor din muzica datorita talentului nativ, dar si a modestiei. Absolventa a Academiei de Studii Economice, Alexandra a terminat la inceputul anului acesta si masterul Universitatii de Orleans, “DESS – Finante si control de gestiune’.

Albumul CRUSH + ALEXANDRA UNGUREANU, este un album la care s-a lucrat cateva luni bune, cei trei dorindu-si ca acest album sa insemne o alta abordare a muzicii. Un album fierbinte care te va face sa dansezi nebuneste in ritmuri clubbing. ….. e senzatie, e visare, e dorinta, e pasiune……toate pe un ritm incitant. Primul single de pe album este piesa “Plang noptile”, piesa care este tot mai ceruta de ascultatori de radio iar in topurile de specialitate este in continua. Videoclipul piesei, semnat de Florin Botea, ne prezinta o alta Alexandra, mai dulce, mai feminina. Iar Radu si Sorin, cei doi printi din acasta poveste, au dovedit ca sunt nu doar talentati dar si foarte simpatici.

Dintr-o asemenea combinatie, tinerete, talent, gingasie, senzualitate nu putea sa iasa decat un lucru foarte bun….adica albumul CRUSH + ALEXANDRA UNGUREANU.

In anul 2007 cei trei au lansat un nou album numit “Hello” ce contine douaspreceze super piese de club indulcite de vocea calda a Alexandrei. In plus, surpriza vine de la colaborarea cu Marius Nedelcu de la Akcent pentru o piesa de exceptie. Toate cele trei single-uri de pe album “Inima mea“, “Cu tine in rai” si “Hello” au cucerit inimile publicului clasandu-se pe pozitii fruntase in topurile muzicale, ce a facut ca albumul sa fie recompensat cu DISCUL DE AUR.

English Version

Crush & Alexandra Ungureanu is one of the successful Romanian dance act. Their first single released in 2005 captured the audience with its new disco-club sound and romantic lyrics, reaching # 1 all over Romania.

Crush consists of two young producers, Radu and Sorin, whose passion is music. Crush was not their first project, as they have been in the music industry since 6 years ago being involved in another successful act. In 2004 they decided to produce their own project and started writing dance tracks for their new album. Their long-time friend Alexandra came to their studio one night and when she listened to the demos she fell in love on the spot with the project. This is how the trio was born. It took the guys more than three months of hard work to finish the album and the first single.

Radu Cernautan, born in 1981, discovered music at a early age when he was an Elvis Presley fan. At that time you couldn’t find in Romania any foreign language music and he was receiving music cassettes from his friends in Germany. Later the music was sent on CD and it included electronic, techno music and Radu discovered a new dimension of music. Then he started taking piano and guitar classes trying to find his way in music.

Sorin Seniuc was born in 1975 and he is a very calm and quiet guy. He started taking guitar lessons since he was 7 years old, later music becoming one of his passions, besides the game of chess which relaxes him. Sorin studied Electronics in Faculty but it was not exactly what he expected to do in life.

In 1994 Radu and Sorin met, becoming best friends as they shared a common interest in music. A few years later, in 1999, they formed together with other 3 guys a boy-band under the name of N5 which became famous in Romania, making their dreams come true. In 2001 they broke up, trying to find another way in life and music. Radu started his studies of Management at the Academy of Economic Science in Bucharest. At the same, together with Sorin they began writing and producing songs for Romanian artists.

Alexandra Ungureanu was born in a little town in Moldavia in 1981. Her parents noticed her talent and Alexandra began taking daily canto and piano lessons since she was six years old. She had famous Romanian composers writing songs for her, her repertoire becoming vaster almost every day.
She moved to Bucharest in the year 2000 to study Economics in Foreign Languages at the Academy of Economic Studies. She graduated in 2005 and she also has a master degree in Finance at the University of Orleans. At the same time she followed her dream of becoming a singer, at first being a part of a backing vocal band, then collaborating with important Romanian artist such as Sistem, Holograf or Morandi. Their collaborations always reached the no.1 spot in the charts, making her voice and name known to the public. It was the Eurovision national selection – where she came in third – that made her decide it was time to have her own act. After some months of soul searching and listening to new proposals from famous composers, she discovered long time friends Crush to have exactly what was right for her: new dance tracks with a special feeling.

And this collaboration was not to be regretted as their first single became a hit in short time, climbing to the top of the charts and staying there for more weeks in a row. Crush + Alexandra’s debut album was released in October 2005 as the dance album of the year, containing their first hit and many more to come.
This was new beginning for the three pals, with lots of concerts and fans all over Romania.

Connect-R si-a facut debutul in muzica in anul 1997 cantand muzica hip hop iar mai apaoi a devenit membru al trupei RACLA, impreuna cu RIMARU lansand sunb marca RUL, albumul “DEXteritate”
Dupa despartirea de RACLA, Connect-R are mai multe colaborari cu nume importante din muzica romaneasca, precum Arsenium, Simona Nae, Loredana dovedind ca este un artist complex care se poate exprima cu lejeritate si in alte genuri muzicale decat hip hop. Aceste colborari au condus firesc catre lansarea primului sau single solo si a albumului de debut.

Daca dragostea dispare, albumul de debut CONNECT-R lansat la finalul anului 2008, ce include si single-urile Daca dragostea dispare si Nu-ti pierde dragostea, reprezinta o combinatie de ritmuri hip hop (amintind perioada RACLA), r&b, soul sau ritmuri jamaicane, toate in stilul inconfundabil Connect-R. Artistul a lucrat la acest album peste doi ani, contine 11 piese, o parte dintre acestea fiind in colaborare cu Alex, Smiley, Matteo si Don Baxter. Primul single de pe album “Daca dragostea dispare” este o continuare a hitulpe care Connect-R la-a lansat impreuna cu Alex, “Dragoste la prima vedere” al doilea single de pe albumul YAMASHA. Actiunea se desfasoara intr-o inchisoare, iar printre detinutii cu catuse la maini ii putem descoperii pe Alex si pe Connect-R.

•Vara 2009 a fost fierbinte si la propriu si la figurat, noul single CONNECT-R – BURNING LOVE incendiind cluburile cu ritmurile sale si ajungand in fruntea clasamentelor de specialitate

•Stilul sau deschis si jovialitatea, il recomanda pe CONNECT-R nu numai ca pe un artist polivalent dar ci si ca un entertainer de succes

English Version

This man does it all. Singer, songwriter, actor, TV presenter, dancer, producer, you name it, the list goes on. All-round entertainer. He first came to the attention of Romanian listeners as a guest vocalist for hip-hop outfit RACLA in 1997. Soon he joined the band as a full time member and together with RIMARU, his then band mate, released the album “DEXteritate” on ROTON’s urban imprint RUL.
After leaving RACLA, Connect-R became the most in demand featured artist, working with some of the most celebrated Romanian artists and a few new-comers: Loredana, Arsenium or Simona Nae adding to each song he was invited to sing on his signature Jamaican-style rap and r’n'b rhythms proving to anyone who labeled him a hip-hopper that he’s more than that.

Time went by to Connect-R’s advantage and his eagerly anticipated solo debut was released by Roton at the end of 2008. Named after the first single “Daca dragostea dispare”, the album (containing 11 tracks) is a combination of soul, r’n'b, reggae and, of course, hip-hop. The artist worked on it for more than two years and collaborated with such artists and producers as Smiley, Alex, Matteo and Don Baxter. After all the favours he did to others it was time for him to receive back some talent and creativity. The title track from the album was a soul infused ballad, a featuring with Alex (on whose hit “Dragoste la prima vedere”, Connect-R was co-vocalist) and the video was filmed in a jail, the two singers being among the inmates.
To shake up things a bit and pump some adrenaline, Connect-R released BURNING LOVE, his second single, in time for the summer season. With a fresh sound and some well-coreographed moves the single became THE song of the summer. And the clubs were loving it so much so that months after its release the DJs are still spinning it and the crowd keeps grooving.

The king of features has proven he is an artist in his own right and the good things are bursting to get off his sleeve. Just you watch. Buy his CDs, listen to his music on the radio or watch the videos on TV but you don’t know who Connect-R really is until you see the man in action. On stage and on the mic.
