I don't believe this individual has been the subject of enough "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" to warrant an article. Footnote 1 links to a self-published site, while the second footnote is from his own website (not independent coverage). Footnotes 3 and 4 are to Youtube videos, which don't count as the published sources Wikipedia relies on. An unverified claim is made that he won the Megastar competition, whatever that is. He's also tried for Eurovision (or so the article claims), but not gotten very far. This article is good PR ("[His] "unique sound and delivery of a song that Romania has never seen before...[He] brings a promising fresh vibe on the music arena and is certainly a name to be watched"), but appears to be promoting someone not yet notable. - Biruitorul ^Talk 18:00, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is no notability here (see WP:BAND), and the article reeks of promotion. --Falcon Darkstar Momot (talk) 09:32, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
