Popularity does not prevent Dan Balan from being a simple and open person, devoid of stellar manners. The songs of the former lead singer of the O-Zone group are still being listened to now, and there are many fan groups dedicated to the artist on the Web. In recent years, Dan has settled in the capital of Great Britain, with whom he fell in love many years ago. He spends a lot of time in the recording studio, collaborates with the choir and various musical groups. Balan does not like to discuss his personal life, which is why there are many unsolved secrets in it. The singer has not yet created a family, however, he dreams of a house with a garden, where he will live with a beautiful wife and several kids.
Dan was born in 1979 in Chisinau, Moldavian SSR. His father was a diplomat, and his mother was a TV presenter. His younger sister Sanda also grew up in the family. In early childhood, he visited television with his mother and heard songs that he then sang. At the age of 10, the boy wrote texts and mastered musical instruments. During his school years, the young man created his first group, where he performed his songs. However, the parents, seeing the hobbies of the future artist, were sure that music would not become his profession.
After leaving school, Balan entered the university, choosing the Faculty of Law, but even during his studies he did not give up his favorite music. The young man left the university and began to pursue a creative career. In 1999, Dan created the group O-zone, which quickly became popular. After the collapse of the team, he pursues a solo career, also acting as the author and composer of many hits.
Balan never talks about his personal life, which is probably why the press attributes non-existent novels to him. Fans are still interested in learning about the singer's marital status if he has a wife and children. According to the artist himself, he had a serious relationship with three women who were of great importance to him. According to media reports, in 2004, Dan married a girl named Ella, who bore him a son, Alan. However, the wife was constantly jealous of the singer for the fans, as a result of which the union broke up in the summer of 2009. After the divorce, relations between the former spouses remained tense, however, the artist did not lose touch with his son.

Journalists also talk about another passion of Balan - Christina Russu, who is a friend of her younger sister. It was rumored that the lovers were going to get married, however, the wedding never took place. The singer never made special demands on the girl of his dreams, since the most important thing for him is that he likes her on her own. He leads an active lifestyle, spending more time on the road than at home. The ex-soloist of the O-Zone group does not forget about his relatives, sometimes visiting Chisinau.
At the beginning of 2013, an important event took place in his family: his sister Sanda got married, whose chosen one was Dana's friend Dmitry. The festive celebration took place in one of the chic establishments in Chisinau, where noble guests gathered not only from Moldova, but also from Israel, Turkey, Romania, Italy, and America.

Family status: not married
Dan Balan had a long way from an unknown Moldovan singer to a world-famous celebrity. The talented performer has worked with many famous stars: Rihanna, Jesse Dylan, Missy Elliott and others. However, he might not have been realized as an artist, since his parents sent him to law at a young age.
However, Dan turned out to be persistent and nevertheless followed the call of his heart - he became a musician!
A handsome man with Moldovan roots, Dan Balan has long gone beyond the boundaries of his own homeland and began to move towards his goal with leaps and bounds. The sensational hits of the sexy brunette sounded in all corners of the world. And the musical creations "Love", "Only until the morning", "Chica Bomb" won many world awards. What is known about Dan Balan? What was his childhood and path to success like? Let's talk!
Childhood
The future artist was born on February 6, 1979 in Chisinau. Dan's parents were famous and successful people: his father was engaged in political activities, and his mother was a popular TV presenter.
Little Dan has been familiar with the world of show business since childhood, and over time he became interested in music.
At the age of 4, the boy spoke to the public on an entertainment TV show. And at the age of 11 he was presented with a musical instrument - an accordion and sent to study at a music school so that he could develop his talent. Later, Dan performed waltzes of his own composition on this instrument. As a teenager, he played in the band Pantheon and Inferialis and they played gothic-doom metal music. But after a while, these groups ceased to exist. This period of music lessons was at an amateur level, but professionally Dan Balan began to study at the age of 20.
“My parents, of course, saw that I was interested in music (I started writing it at the age of 10), but they could not even think that it would become my profession. Especially since I told them about my choice in 1997, when there was not a single pop star in Moldova yet and one could be a musician, either playing in a symphony orchestra for $10 a week, or at weddings.
Both options meant in the end begging and starvation. And then I inform them that for the sake of music I leave the prestigious law university, which I just entered. Of course they were shocked!”
Starting point in stellar life
Dan Balan realized that he would gain real popularity only through commercial music. And 1999 became a fateful year. Together with the ex-member of "Inferialis" Petr Zhelikhovsky, he creates a new group called "O-Zone".
Members of the group created pop music and rapped. A couple of months later, the band recorded their first album. In one of the interviews, the singer admitted that he had to use a trick to get his way:
“I knew that major record companies receive tons of demo tapes every day and the chances that my CD will be selected and listened to from this pile are negligible. And I went to the trick: I asked my mother, an incredibly spectacular woman, to give the disc 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.
A song called "Dragostea din Tei", which is also known as "Numa Numa song", topped the charts in dozens of countries around the world, and even reached number three in the UK and sold 12 million copies. The disc of the DiscO-Zone team became the best-selling!
But, despite the immodest success, in 2005, the members of this group decided to stop working together. The team broke up, and each member took up a solo career.

Exactly one year after the end of the sensational group "O-Zone", Dan Balan went to conquer America. He took the pseudonym Crazy Loop and recorded his album called "The Power of Shower". The difference from Dan Balan in the new image was the performance of falsetto songs and incendiary songs.
The disc "The Power of Shower" was quite positively received in Europe, and the performer himself was awarded the "MTV Europe Music Awards" in the "Best Romanian Act" category.
Now Dan Balan has gained worldwide fame, and this opened the door for him to collaborate with many foreign celebrities. So, a little later, he wrote the song "Live your life" for the singer Rihanna, which brought him a Grammy nomination in 2009.
In 2010 everything changed. The musician decided to re-release the Crazy Loop mix album and got rid of the pseudonym in favor of his real name. Then he presented to the public the song "Chica Bomb", the video clip for which was directed by Heim Williams, who worked with Jay-Z, Missy Elliot and many others.
One by one there were premieres of songs and all became hits. In 2010, Dan released the track "Justify Sex", as well as the track "Rose Petals" recorded with the popular singer Vera Brezhneva in a duet, which immediately reached the top of the Russian charts.
In 2011, the songs “Freedom”, which for a long time was the leader of many charts, and “Only until the morning” were played on the radio for a long time and often. The singer is still working on creating new songs, lives in New York and often comes to Russia and Ukraine.
A year later, in May, he releases video clips for the songs “Not Loving” and “Love”.
In March, singer Dan Balan, together with the Romanian artist Matteo, presented a new video for the song "Allegro Ventigo".
Hot dances around the campfire at night, beautiful girls, and the artist himself sings in Spanish and plays the guitar.
On February 7, 2018, a three-month all-Ukrainian tour of the popular artist Dan Balan started. Now the artist travels to many cities of Ukraine with a concert.
"Eat or die!"

“Well, you all know Maslow's pyramid. about human needs. We all need the physical first. It's food and sleep. Is always. And no matter how much we want to answer romantically, it is still the way it is. We are always waiting until we get rich and buy ourselves everything we dream of. Therefore, the artist lives under the motto "Eat or die!".

5. Dan Balan is a Metallica fan.
4. In 2015, the media wrote that Dan did not have his own car.
love affairs
Unfortunately, the Moldovan artist is reluctant to share the details of his personal life - he has it under seven locks. Quite often, he was previously credited with an affair with Vera Brezhneva, but later the pepper explained that there could be nothing between them, since she was married and this was taboo for both.
“I am a free bird, an artist, and so far everything remains so”
The artist said in a long interview.
However, in 2015, he stated in one program that he had a relationship, but would not tell anything more.
In 2016, in the program "Secular Life with Katya Osadchaya", he admitted which girls he likes:
“The main thing is magic. It doesn't matter if you're brunette or blonde. The main thing is that there is that same magic between us. ”
An insinuating voice, sweetly singing about love, plus a sexy and masculine appearance has long led the Moldavian singer Dan Balan to the top of the musical Olympus. Millions are heard with his songs, clips are often broadcast on music channels, and he himself is a frequent guest of girlish sweet dreams. Unfortunately for fans, Dan Balan's personal life is carefully hidden behind the doors of his house, since he himself considers this topic taboo in communicating with journalists. For a very long time, curious female fans remained in the dark about wife of Dan Balan or at least his girlfriends, drawing their own conclusions often from fragmentary information taken from the media.
To date, the sultry Moldovan singer is still not married. Although he prefers to bypass the topic of his personal life and novels, he himself shared information that only three women played a big role in his fate. And all of them were in no way distinguished by either celebrity, or a strong social position, or special wealth, which will undoubtedly pleasantly surprise the singer's fans, since it makes the chances of each of them very real. Moreover, Dan Balan, by his own admission, does not put forward any increased requirements for his future life partner. The only quality that must necessarily be present in her is external beauty, and he will accept all the rest unconditionally if he feels his soul mate in the girl.

By the way, according to publications in the media, Dan Balan, it turns out, has already managed to learn firsthand what family life is. Even before the start of his solo career, he was married to a girl named Ella Krupenina. True, this marriage was short-lived - about five years - and in 2009 the couple broke up due to uncontrollable jealousy on the part of the wife. Although it is easy to understand. It's hard to keep calm when your husband is constantly in the center of attention of numerous fans. In this marriage, an heir appeared - the son of Alan. Just a couple of years ago, the press again remembered the singer's ex-wife in connection with a suicide attempt, again on the basis of jealousy for her husband, whom she did not stop loving even after the divorce. It is difficult to judge how true this information is.

In the same period of time, it was also said that Dan Balan had already given his heart. Christina Russa, a close friend of the singer's sister, was presented as his beloved girl. However, he himself, again, did not comment on this information anywhere and in any way, limiting himself only to the recognition that he was really not free at the moment. What is happening in Dan Balan's personal life is now unknown, since he usually attends all social events attended by journalists alone.
Dan Mihai Balan is a bright star of the stage and show business. Born in a full-fledged family in 1979, February 6. At the moment, the singer is already 36 years old, but it is quite difficult for him to give such an age. The singer keeps himself in shape and looks fit.
The hometown of the famous singer is Chisinau (Moldova). Dan's father Mihai Balan and mother Lyudmila Balan tried from childhood to accustom their son to something wonderful, and thanks to their upbringing, the first public performance of a young talented boy took place at the age of 4, when he first got on an entertainment TV show. It was the parents who made a huge contribution to education and upbringing, for which the singer is infinitely grateful to them, talking about this in many interviews with journalists and TV presenters.
First performances and music
The biography of Dan Balan is full of various significant events. Some of them happened already in childhood. Parents noticed the craving for singing and contributed to the acquisition of an accordion, on which Dan already composed his own works for waltzes and dances at the age of 11.

At the age of 14, he was actively playing in the bands Pantheon and Inferialis and performed music in the style of gothic doom metal. These trial breakthroughs into the world of show business turned out to be very productive, and at the age of 20 Dan Balan's biography was replenished with serious events - performances on the big stage.
O-Zone - the formation of the group and the beginning of serious success
In 1999, the singer took another step towards success and, together with his faithful friend Petr Zhelikhovsky, created a group. In his group O-Zone (that's what it was called), the singer was both a producer, a musician, and a singer. The most famous and popular single in many European countries is Numa Numa Song. Many more albums of the group were able to glorify performers throughout Europe, and O-Zone achieved a really wild success. But in 2005, due to some disagreements, the group broke up and ceased creative activity.
But the biography of Dan Balan is replenished with new events. Dan goes to Los Angeles, where he meets with the famous producer Jack Joseph Puig. He creates all the conditions for promoting the solo career of his ward.
The first album and unprecedented success: where does the solo star journey begin

Dan Balan: personal life. What is the singer hiding?
No matter how hard the reporters tried to find out who his beloved was, nothing came of it. The singer always speaks of his heart secrets briefly and clearly: "I am a free bird, and so far everything remains so." Joint work with Vera Brezhneva was interpreted differently by journalists, and the yellow press gave Dan Balan many statuses, including it was believed that they and Vera were a couple. But no matter what the newspapers write, Dan Balan still remains an enviable bachelor, and there was no connection between the stars of show business, except for creative activity.

On it, Dan began to perform waltzes of his own composition. His talent could not be overlooked, and at the age of 14, the young talent was already playing in bands performing music in the style of gothic doom metal Pantheon and Inferialis. Since these timid steps to get on the big stage did not bring tangible results, the musician decided to act differently.
In 1994, he decides to perform a song of his own composition at a school festival, where he breaks the first loud applause. At the same time, the young man writes a song for a show hosted by his mother on television and receives national recognition. Dan Balan, whose family moves to Israel in connection with the new appointment of his father, continues to actively engage in music.
