The group New Star Music represented their home country of Romania at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2006. Their song was called Povestea Mea (My Story). The group consists of Teodora Roxana Sima as Peter Pan, Diana Ioana Prepeliţă as Spider Man, Liviu Mircea Teodorescu as Harry Potter and the group leader, Cristian Sanda-Gorun as Prince Charming.

Despite the fact that their ages range between 12 and 14, the four young artists have a serious music educational background and an impressive experience on stage. They have participated in several TV shows, concerts and music festivals. For example, Cristian studies piano and guitar and his talent in vocal music has been awarded with 12 trophies in national and international music festivals for children in Romania and abroad, in Bulgaria (Children's Mamaia Festival, The Golden Dolphin etc.). Diana also studies piano and guitar and she is the proud owner of 17 awards in different music festivals (the most recent is the International Pop Music Festival for Children TI AMO, in May 2006).

Teodora plays piano and has "only" eight trophies in different festivals, while Liviu, besides his collection of awards, has a long experience of singing in three very prestigious Romanian children musical groups: Allegretto, Andantino and Addagio. More than that, Liviu is currently a TV star, appearing weekly on the national TV show for children named Only with the Approval of the Under Aged.

The song to represent Romania was chosen based on the votes received from the public by televoting (50%) and from the jury (50%), formed of seven members. The selection was organised by Romanian Television (TVR).
