Andreea Georgiana Bălan, born on June 23, 1984, in Ploiești, Romania, is a Romanian singer. She began performing locally at age ten and gained attention from Mihai Constantinescu. In 1997, she qualified for the Romanian Eurovision Song Contest pre-selection but was disqualified due to age restrictions. The following year, Bălan released her debut album Amețiți de fum. In late 1998, she formed the duo Andrè with Andreea Antonescu, releasing several successful albums and singles, including "Un univers mai liniștit" and "Liberă la mare." The duo disbanded in 2001. Bălan then embarked on a solo career, releasing her first album Te joci cu mine in June 2001. She followed with Liberă din nou (2003), Așa sunt eu! (2004), and AndreeaB (2006). In 2009, she released SuperWoman, which featured a mix of Samba, Rock 'n' Roll, and Pop influences.
