She trained at the “Dimitrie Cuclin” arts high school in Galați and moved to Bucharest in 2015, when dance was the whole plan. She worked with the country’s best-known choreographers and started appearing alongside established artists.

A cover of Arilena Ara’s “Nentori”, posted on her own channel, is what turned the room around — Arilena saw it and pushed it, and radio picked it up. “Drinking About You” followed in September 2017 and made the shift from dancer to artist official.

Nine years and forty releases later she has worked with Faydee, Dhurata Dora, Nicole Cherry, SHIFT, Cezar Guna and LLP. Her first album, ALPHA, arrived in September 2022; in April 2026 came Playground — eleven tracks with Speak, released under their joint name SxS.
