Eurovision 2006: Ex-O-Zone singer Arsenium and Natalia Gordienko will sing for Moldova

Topic: Entertainment (Apr 30, 2006)

The ex-O-Zone singer Arsenium together with Natalia Gordienko will represent Moldova at Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with the song “Loca”.

Due to Moldova’s results in Eurovision 2005 Kyiv, the two will go directly to the Eurovision Final on 20 May.

“Loca“
Performers: Arsenium & Natalia Gordienko
Song writer: Arsenium
Composer: Arsenium

Arsenium and Natalia Gordienko

Arsenium was born on 22 July, 1983 in Chisinau, Moldova. He wasn’t a spoilt child, but he grew up in a very harmonious surrounding. His mother worked as a doctor, his father as an engineer. He has a younger sister who is, he says, “the best in the world!” Despite growing up in a country which is said to be one of the poorest in Europe, he enjoyed his childhood. “My beautiful parents allowed me to have big dreams,” he says. “Bigger than the country I was born in.”

His parents gave him the chance to choose his way of life all by himself. “They let me decide by myself what to do with my life, but the advice they gave me has always been very useful to me,” he says.

Arsenium was always known as a big dreamer. His biggest dream was to become a big musician, someone whose songs would go down in music history.

“When I was a child you could hear me singing at school, at home, in the bathroom, always and everywhere, trying to imitate different singers that I used to listen to!” Arsenium says.

Most of the music he listened to was Russian. “I grew up with Russian music. At that time I had just only one fan, my little sister.”

Arsenium started to write his own songs when he turned 15 and it pleased him so much, he couldn’t stop. “I realised that it was the only way I could express myself, my feelings in the real life! I understood that there was a place for me and my dreams in this world.”

Arsenium tried to confer the way he wrote songs to his real life. “I started to build up my life the way I create a song. Then I started to build the life of my dreams like a beautiful melody.”

At the age of 16, Arsenium joined a Moldovan folk band named Stejareii (The Little Oaks), playing the bass. In that time he started to perform on the biggest stages of Moldova. But his first performance as a singer was at school. Arsenium tried to sing opera, more or less successfully. “It seemed so funny to me,” he says, “so I began to laugh on stage together with my classmates.”

Arsenium still describes this as the craziest thing he has ever done.

When he was 17 he started to take singing lessons. His teacher was Larisa Shulga, who became a very important person in his life. She taught him the most important lesson an artist has to learn: “She taught me a lot of things about music,” he says. “And she shared with me her experience as an artist because she was a very famous opera singer across the whole former Soviet Union.”

In teaching him, she unearthed his talent and introduced him to Dan Balan, who invited him to become a new member of O-Zone. After a few weeks the composition of the group was completed by Radu Sirbu. The new band became very successful in Moldova and after conquering the Romanian market, they entertained the whole of Europe with their biggest hit.

“O-Zone gave me very good experience,” he says. “I travelled a lot with the guys all over the world, I slept less than ever but I felt really good.” He was accompanied by his two colleagues who were very talented artists and “very nice and friendly people.”

But now Arsenium is ready for his next big step.

“Arsenium is who I am, how I feel, how I live and what I do!”

    Comment by Huseyin — May 24, 2006 @ 8:45 pm

  24. I am from moldova, and you know what, i thought that song was awfull. why the hell did they have have to sing in english, their accent is rubbish. This is one reason why most song there are rubbish, because they sing it in english, Arsenie and Natalia sing very nice in romanian. and what is all this business of everyone hitting on Natalia? i met her in moldova, and just want to say that she will never go out with any of you, whether you are turkish, german or whatever, get a life thats all i have to say.
