The generation of "zero" gave the world a huge number of talented musicians, among whom was Dan Balan. Biography of the artist began its countdown on February 6, 1979 in Chisinau. His parents, TV presenter and ambassador, tried to develop Dana in every possible way, and therefore from an early age he attended a large number of circles and sections of different orientations.

To show musical inclinations, the artist began at the age of 4, introducing himself as an artist of the stage. Studying in the third grade, Dan tried himself as a budding poet, presenting his work to the court of teachers and classmates. On his eleventh birthday, Balan received as a gift from his father an accordion. It was on this instrument that the singer began composing his first songs. Dan Balan initially created only waltzes, as for most compositions in modern musical genres accordion is used very rarely.

In 1994, the artist's family moved to Israel in connection with the appointment of Father Dan there. For a year and a half Dan Balan, whose biography is known to many fans of pop music, was forced to get used to the new situation and new people, after which he again returned to his native Chisinau, where in 1996 he graduated from the Lyceum.

After receiving secondary education, the singer entered the Moldovan State University, where he decided to study law. As a student, he sings in a little-known rock band Panteon, soon the idea of creating his own musical project appears in his head, so in 1997 appeared the group Inferialis.

However, the project did not last long, and already in 1998 Balan started working in the studio to record his own compositions. A year later a talented musician creates an O-Zone band, in this he is helped by a former colleague - Petru Zhelihovski.

In 2002, the team released its debut disc, called Number 1. Two songs by Despre Tine and Numai Tu literally blew up the Moldovan charts.

The next album, DiscO-Zone, allowed the band to strengthen their positions in the world charts. In many ways success was provided by the hit Dragostea Din Tei, which instantly scattered throughout Europe and was incredibly successful. The musicians immediately went on their first tour, which was a huge sold-out.

In 2005, the team disbanded, and its members began a solo career. Dan decided to refer to the English-language manner - Dan Balan. Biography of the singer started with a clean sheet after he organized the pop-rock band Balan and presented the public with a new version of the song Dragostea Din Tei.
