Facts during the videos

"While shooting the video "Cu tine, doar cu tine" that mostly took place at Stirbey Palace, the script made all look very real. During the night, a totem was built in the park of Stirbey Palace, and an old village of a forgotten tribe was recreated. I was tied down with a rope and carried in a flimsy canoe which made me very nervous. The scenery was all very natural. I had moments when i got so scarred that i might fall off the canoe, as i can't swim at all and I also had my hands tied in that rope!

The biggest sacrifices you made for music

I gave more time to music then i have given to my family. I thus lost almost all the important moments, bad or good, that they had over the years.
