Inna biographyElena Alexandra Apostoleanu aka Inna was born October 16th, 1986 in Neptun near Mangalia (Romania), on the Black Sea. Her love for music was first encouraged and supported by her family. Her grandmother and mother were both occasional singers at local parties or night clubs. She took bel canto lessons with master Traian Broască. As a student, she attended classes at the Mangalia Economical Lyceu then attempted a degree in Political Sciences at the Ovidius University of Constanţa. Before turning 18, she auditioned to join the nationwide famous pop group A.S.I.A. but she was rejected in favor of soloist Alina Diana Crișan. Discouraged, she started a career as a household retailer at a small boutique in Neptun. In late 2007, producer Marcel Botezan came across to Inna while singing in the market and, impressed by her vocal ability, he proposed her a contract with Roton. She took the stage name Alessandra and recorded 2 pop-rock ballads (Goodbye and Sorry) produced by Romanian dance music producers trio Play & Win (Radu Bolfea, Sebastian Barac and Marcel Botezan). The songs competed to represent Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, but none was selected. She then changed her stage name to Inna and her producers decided to opt for house/dance style. On November 12, 2008, she released her debut single Hot. The single went #5 in Romanian charts, then became an airplay success worldwide. Two videos were made for this song. Her second single Love was released on March 12th, 2009 and did even better, peaking at #4 on the Romanian Hot 100 in April 2009. It was was completed by a video shot in slow motion. Third single Déjà Vu, a collaboration with Romanian DJ and producer Bob Taylor, also smashed the music charts : it went #7 in her home country, and was also a major hit in Russia and Hungary.

In Romania, at the end of 2009, Inna was named the "Woman of The Year" during the Young Talents Awards. At the beginning of 2010, Hot peaked at #1 on the Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart and the UK Dance Chart. To support the Romanian release of her debut album Hot in March 2010, she released a fifth single entitled 10 Minutes without a music video. It only peaked at #18. For its international release a video was shot in London (England), directed by Paul Boyd. A deluxe version of the album was released in France and Spain (the French edition is entitled Very Hot). At the 2010 Romanian Music Awards, Inna won the awards for Best Female, Best Album, Best Show, Best Web Site and Best International Artist, and performed her Romanian number one single Amazing, as well as her sixth single Sun Is Up.
