Radu Sîrbu (also known as Radu Sârbu, RadU, and Picasso; born 14 December 1978 in Peresecina, Moldavian SSR, Soviet Union) is a Moldovan singer. He was part of the Moldovan pop music trio O-Zone. He currently lives and works in Bucharest, Romania. ==Biography== Radu spent most of his childhood in his hometown, however, he moved to Orhei and Bălţi for a time. He went back to Peresecina after the 9th grade in order to finish high school. During the 10th and 11th grade, he worked as a DJ at his father's nightclub, and organized musical theatre shows through his studio, "Artshow," which he created for children and teens. In 1996, after graduating, he began his studies at the Chişinău Music Conservatory, as well as teaching vocal classes for children on the side. In 2001, a man named Dan Bălan was holding casting calls for a band to be called O-Zone. O-Zone used to consist of just Dan and his friend Petru Jelihovski, but even after Petru dropped out, Dan still desired to continue his musical career - hopefully with two others. Arsenie Todiraş (nicknamed "Arsenium") had auditioned successfully, then Radu joined to become the third and final member. As a group, O-Zone became extremely popular in their home country of Moldova, and were able to branch out to their neighbour, Romania. What came after defined the height of their careers: with the release of two chart-topping albums, Number 1 in 2002 and DiscO-Zone in 2004, they found themselves constantly played on the airwaves throughout Europe, attracting numerous fans. O-Zone's dance-pop music consisted of beats and catchy lyrics, able to surpass any language barrier. As Radu himself said, their songs have "positive emotion"—it really does not matter if you cannot speak or understand Romanian, you just "feel the love" in the music. O-Zone later became well known in France, Italy, Germany, Romania, Mexico and the United Kingdom. Their most popular hits included "Despre tine" and "Dragostea din tei". Later, Gary Brolsma of New Jersey made an internet video dance to the song "Dragostea din tei", entitled ''Numa Numa''. Gary's internet video helped the group become known in the United States. In January 2005, Dan, Arsenie, and Radu announced that O-Zone disbanded, deciding instead to focus on their respective solo careers. With Dan in America making rock music with his band "Balan", and Arsenie launching in Germany under the name Arsenium, Radu is also working on his solo project. In 2005, he worked together with DJ Mahay and released a song called "Dulce". RadU (as this was his new stage name) currently lives in Romania with his wife, and his daughter, Anastasia Dalia, and he's working on getting his official Website up at (RaduSirbu.ro ). He made a video on his song called "Whap-pa" and released his album ''Alone'', and more recently he released his single "Doi străini" ("Two strangers"), and made a video for it. In 2007, he and Arsenium got together and released the single "July". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Radu Sîrbu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
