In 1992, his parents bought him his first guitar and Dan turned his attention to rock music. At that time, the band "Metallica" became his new idol and he began writing rock songs. In 1994, at the school Festival, Dan performed on stage for the first time with one of his songs together with his friend. In the same year Dan wrote a song for television show his mother and for the first time received national recognition. 
In 1994, Dan's father Mihai Balan was appointed Ambassador of Moldova to Israel. Dan and his family moved to Tel Aviv (Israel). There he entered the "Tabetha school", where he studied for 1.5 years. While in Israel, Dan continued to compose new songs. There he first recorded in a studio and went to the Scottish School. 
After which Dan Balan returned to Chisinau. His parents always wanted him to study law and, having passed the exams, he entered the Faculty of Law of Moldova State University. That same year, his parents bought him his first synthesizer. 
Dan Balan In January 1997, Dan decided to become a professional musician. He left the University of Law and changed it to the University of Music "St. Neaga". There he studied musical works, double bass and piano. At the same time, he also took bass guitar courses. Dan played in Pantheon bands, and later formed his own team Inferialis, which played in the style of gothic doom metal. Dan Balan was responsible for the keyboard part and composed the music. The group became very popular in the underground environment of Moldova. In January 1998, Dan Balan changed the musical direction of "Inferialis" to pop rock, but he soon realized that he needed to leave this style for a while, since rock was not popular. But Dan knew that he would return to him. The group Inferialis disbanded in 1998. Dan purchased necessary equipment to perform popular dance music and began to learn how to create arrangements. His first work "De la mine" was released that same year in October. It was followed by the biggest hit of 1999 in Moldova - “Dar, unde esti...”. However, his desire was to create a boy band because boy bands were very popular at that time. Therefore, in September 1999, Dan Balan created the first fight band in Moldova, “O-zone,” consisting of two people: Dan Balan and Petru Jelihovski (soloist of “Inferialis”). In the fall of the same year, the guys went to Romania and recorded 3 songs there: “Timpul trece fara noi”, “In doi”, “M-as trezi”. The first single released by the group "O-zone" was "Timpul trece fara noi". A few months later, "O-zone" became the number 1 group in Moldova for a long time. In the same year, Dan Balan and his mother made a TV show "Tanti Ludmila Show", which became the most successful TV show ever in Moldova. Balan was the producer of this show, wrote the script and music for it. On June 3, 2000, the first album of the O-zone group, Dar unde esti, was released, consisting of 11 songs written and produced by Dan. The album was a huge success. 7 singles from this album became mega-hits, including "Fiesta de la noche", "Crede-ma", "Te voi iubi", "Ciao bambina", "In doi", "Dar, unde esti...", "Timpul trece fara noi". In the summer of the same year, the O-zone group began their first tour in Moldova. The tour was crazy. The whole country sang O-zone songs. 
In December, Dan Balan wrote the Christmas song "Sarbatorile de iarna" for the Christmas special of "Tanti Ludmila Show". Since then it has become a popular song at Christmas and New Year and sounded everywhere in Moldova at that time. In the spring of 2001, Dan Balan decided to take things to another level and chose the Romanian market for this. However, his O-zone bandmate Petru was not so interested in Dan's grandiose plans, since performing in the group was more of a hobby for him. Balan needed it serious attitude for the project that he was preparing, so at this stage the guys parted peacefully. All O-zone fans were extremely disappointed. They blamed Dan for everything, declaring that they would not love the new lead singers of the O-zone group. Dan decided to hold a casting to select new members for his group. He wanted there to be 3 people in the new "O-zone", but he didn't choose anyone. However, when the casting was already completed, his vocal teacher introduced him to young man, in which she saw potential. His name was Arseniy Toderash. He was a very nice guy with a lot of potential, but he had some problems with vocals since he just started doing it. But Dan believed in this guy and gave him a chance to prove himself, as it turned out later Dan was not mistaken. At first, Arseny only read rhymes in some songs from the first album. In the same original way, Dan met the third member of the O-Zone group. One morning the young man called Dan and said that he missed the casting because he found out about it too late. This is how Dan met Radu Sirbu. Radu had a wonderful voice, but had many noticeable problems with his image and dancing. This did not bother Dan Balan. Thus, the new formula "O-zone" was born: Dan, Arseniy and Radu. By that time, Dan had written 4 songs for the group (“Numai tu”, “Number 1”, “Nopti fara de somn” and “Am sa te chem”), which were recorded in Romania within 2 weeks. In the fall of 2001, two songs “Numai tu”, “Number 1” were released in Moldova, but “O-zone” was not popular with its new lineup... Then Dan began to make plans to conquer the Romanian market. Nobody believed that musicians from Moldova could become popular in Romania. Nevertheless, Dan Balan knew that nothing was impossible. To begin with, he needed more financial resources to prepare the project: he bought a studio and recorded a video for the song “Numai tu” with a large budget for Moldova and Romania at that time. Several more songs were then recorded, including "Sarbatoarea noptilor de vara" and "Nu ma las de limba noastra" (which was the number 1 song for O-zone under the new lineup). 
In 2002, the group signed a contract with the Romanian record company Media Services and released the album Number 1 (Russian Number 1). The songs Numai Tu (Russian: Only you) and Despre Tine (Russian: About you) became hits in Moldova and Romania. In 2003, the album DiscO-zone (Russian: DiscО-zones) followed with the worldwide hit Dragostea Din Tei (Russian: First love or Love in the linden trees). Which became an absolute hit not only in its native Moldova and Romania, but also in Europe, Russia, Japan, and also reached the USA and Latin America. A huge number of covers and parodies have been created for this song in many languages of the world. On the European Hot 100 Singles chart, the song stayed at number one for 12 weeks and sold 12 million copies worldwide. The melody "Dragostea din Tei" did not leave indifferent even such stars as T.I and Rihanna, who used it in their song "Live Your Life" (2008), which became a super hit in the USA and lasted 6 weeks at first place on the Billboard Hot 100 chart . 
At the beginning of 2005, the O-zone group ceased to exist, the members took up solo projects. Dan Balan decided to return to where he started - rock music. He selected the best musicians in his homeland and moved with them to Los Angeles that same year. Despite the fact that Balan came to the USA as a participant popular group, it took him about two years of hard work to realize his solo project. In search of his own signature sound, Dan was helped by the famous producer Jack Joseph Puig, who had previously worked with John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, No Doubt, and the Rolling Stones. As a result of the experience gained, the bright project “Crazy Loop” was born, which surprised and amazed his fans. Under this name, Dan released the dance hit "Crazy Loop - Mm Ma Ma" (2007). This song revealed new qualities of the artist, including an excellent sense of humor and a fair amount of self-irony. The song received a great response in the online community, including thanks to the excellent video, shot by director Marc Klasfeld in Los Angeles. Later recorded under the pseudonym Crazy Loop album The Power of Shower (Russian: Energy of the soul), which was released on December 1, 2007.

The name of the album is explained by the fact that it combines the results of the singer’s work under the pseudonym Crazy Loop and under own name(on the album itself the artist is listed as Dan Balan). As an artist with a bright personality and versatile talents, Dan decided not to stop there and move further towards the most progressive direction at the moment - electronic dance music. In February 2010, the single Chica Bomb was released, which took first place in the charts around the world. And again Dan gave everyone a surprise and demonstrated new sides of his talent and new image. In support of the single, a frank and attractive video was shot, emphasizing all the pressure and passion that Dan put into the composition itself. The director of the video was the famous Hype Williams, who had previously directed videos for such superstars as Missy Elliot, Kelis, LL Cool J, Jay.Z and others. 
On July 31, 2010 Dan presented in Moscow new song Justify SEX, which topped the official Russian chart. On October 29, 2010, the Love Radio radio station premiered Dan Balan's joint song with Vera Brezhneva - Petals of Tears; the song also topped the official Russian chart, becoming the 3rd of Dan's three singles that peaked at number 1. Also, the song “Chica Bomb” at the end of 2010 became the winner in the nomination “Foreign single, male vocal” (511 thousand repetitions on air) and took 2nd place in the final TOP 800 chart for 2010.

Today Dan released a new fiery track Freedom, the presentation of the video for this song sparkled with the number of stars Russian stage.

Biography and personal life of Dan Balan
Dan was born into an artistic family, so it is not surprising that from childhood he loved to play music and eventually devoted his whole life to it. Mom was a popular TV presenter, so the boy became acquainted with the world of show business while visiting her at work. Dan's father was a diplomat, and his mother was busy with her career, both parents were immersed in work and there was no time to raise their son, so little Dan He was sent to be raised by his grandmother in a small village, but when he was three years old, his parents took him back to the city.
From the very early childhood Dan was fond of music and first performed in front of an audience at the age of 4. And at the age of 11 he was given an accordion, which he quickly learned to play and actually composed his first compositions. At the same age he was sent to study at music school.
The father took a very responsible approach to his son’s education and sent him to one of the best lyceums in the country, M.Eminesku, and then to Gheorghi Asache. A little later, Dan’s father was given a promotion and he and his family went to live in Israel. After spending a year and a half in a foreign country, the guy decided to return to his homeland. His father insisted that Dan enter the Faculty of Law and the young talent did not contradict, but asked to give him a synthesizer for successfully passing the exams. He passed the exams, entered law school and now immersed himself in a new instrument. Studying the keys prompted the guy to create his own group, and this is how “Inferialis” appeared in Chisinau. After working with the group a little, the guy left the group and tried himself solo, recording his first work.
This was followed by the creation of the O-Zone group, which gave the world many interesting and popular compositions that occupied leading positions in sales in many countries. Since 2006, Dan finally began his solo career and went to New York, where he bought himself an apartment and still lives, although the guy says that he is there at most 5 times a year, and the rest of the time he travels around countries.
The biography and personal life of Dan Balan is very interesting for the public, and not only fans of his work are interested in his life. The artist’s personal life is very vague, or rather, hidden from the public by real networks. Now the musician remains free and says that he experienced his first and greatest feelings while still a schoolboy, at the age of 16. And throughout his entire life, Dan only experienced strong feelings for girls three times. With his busy schedule and constant work, there is simply no time left for his personal life.
After the release of a joint song with Vera Brezhneva called “Petals of Tears,” journalists for a long time attributed an affair to this duet and hoped to get juicy details, but there was no connection between them. Dan himself admits that he liked Vera as a girl, she is very beautiful and generally interesting, but she has a husband and for the performer this is sacred.
Family and children of Dan Balan
Dan's parents practically did not raise him. The guy admits that mom and dad were constantly at work, and sometimes there wasn’t even time to have dinner together, so the singer grew up on his own. Throughout his childhood, he watched how his peers were raised incorrectly by their parents, instilling in them Soviet rules and norms, and at that time Dan himself decided what was right for him and what was not, making mistakes and trying everything new that interested him. It was thanks to this childhood that Dan grew up to be an open, purposeful and talented person.
Dan Balan’s own family and children are still only in the distant future. The singer doesn’t have enough time to even think about it and doesn’t want to get ahead of himself. He has not yet met the girl with whom he would like to live his whole life, but he is not upset about this either. Now he has a dizzying career and is working hard to hone his talent. Dan devotes all his strength to music and one can say that he lives by his creativity, devoting everything to development free time.

If you look at this young performer, his serious look and cold appearance make him a serious person outwardly, but when communicating with him it becomes clear how open and kind a guy he is. Dan always communicates openly with fans and journalists, often jokes in interviews and is embarrassed when they tell him that he has a very beautiful appearance and that all his fans simply adore him. Despite multi-million dollar stadiums, Dan is not sick star fever and all he does is simply live by music, and his fame is only the result of his work on himself and constant rehearsals.

To date, the sultry Moldovan singer is still not married. Although he prefers to avoid 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 their celebrity, 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 demands on 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.
