[edit] Music career
Her debut record was "Dragostea din tei" (by the Moldovan band O-Zone) released in January 2004, which made a strong dance impact, jumping immediately to the top of sales and airplay in Italy and the world. The single remained in the Top Spot beyond 10 weeks, being already Gold in the first two weeks of release and, today, is a Platinum disc. Dragostea din tei has been published in Germany, Austria, Benelux, Switzerland, France, Spain, Mexico, Czech Republic, and counts beyond 1 million copies sold in all Europe.
Haiducii released her second single, Mne S Toboy Horosho (Nara Nara Na Na) ('I Feel Good When I'm With You' in Russian) in Italy in July 2004 and reached #5 in the official Italian Charts, being another hit. Her third single, 'I Need A Boyfriend', was released in early 2005 reaching the Top 20.
After some months from her latest release, she comes with a new single: "More 'N' More (I Love You)" in December 2005. "More 'N' More (I Love You)" is doing great in Italy many weeks after its release, being at the top of airplay and still selling well, remaining Top 20, three months after its release. The music video premiered early in March 2006 and features Haiducii with five male dancers and special effects.

[edit] Trivia
- Rumor has it that Paula Mitrache obtained her star stage nickname Haiducii (which is translated as "outlaw" or "of outlawry" in Romanian Language) was originally derived from the song lyrics of "Dragostea Din Tei" itself from the last Romanian word of the first line of the first verse which goes like this:
"Alo, salut, sunt eu, un haiduc....."
- Dragostea Din Tei is also a song sung by the group O-zone.
