Razvan Fodor studied at the Academia de Educatie Fizica si Sport, specializing in [gymnastics]^[1].

Fodor is a regular on Romanian TV, especially in Romanian soap operas such as Pacatele Evei in which he played the role of Alex Damian ^[2]. He also had a minor role in the film Milionari de weekend in 2004 starring Romanian actress Catalin Saizescu ^[3]. He has since been on other Romanian TV programs such as Daria, jubirea mea (2006) and Om sarac, om bogat (2006) ^[4]

In 2000, Fodor joined the former Romanian rock band Krypton. Formed in 1983, Krypton was more noted for its heavy metal style of rock. With Fodor on vocals, the band shifted from heavy metal to a more rock/pop orientation. The result was immediate commercial success in the Romanian music market. ^[5] The CD album Comercial, released in 2001, featured the video hits Inima mea (My heart), Spune-mi cu ce am gresit (What did I say wrong?), and Iti mai aduci aminte (Do you remember?). In 2002, Krypton released their second CD album to feature Fodor on vocals, Stresat de timp (Streets of time). A video for the song Cerceii tai (Your earings) from that album was released in June of 2002 and received extensive airplay via MTV Romania. ^[6] A second video for the song Am dansat cu norii (I danced in the sky) was also release in 2002.

In 2004, Krypton signed with Cat Music/Media Services and released their third album with Fodor in December entitled Deasupra Lumii. By the beginning of 2005, Lasa-mi speranta (Give me hope), the first video release from the album, became an immediate hit in Romania and Europe. ^[7] Fodor was given notice by the European music community for his lead vocals for the song. "Lasa-mi speranta" became an MTV European favorite during 2005^[8].

SpotlightNews reported that Fodor was once engaged to marry famous Romanian model Catrinel Menghia, but according to the website she married ex-football player Massimo Brambatti in Milan in the fall of 2005.^[9]

According to Monden Info, Fodor left Krypton in November 2005 to form a new band ("Fodor renunta la Krypton si isi face trupa noua") as well as to enhance his acting carear, especially in Romanian television soap operas (called "novelas.")^[10]

In 2006, after gaining a role on the popular Romanian TV soap opera Pacatele Evei, he and Romanian superstar Lili Sandu were asked to record the theme song for the show also titled Pacatele Evei. The song was quickly made into a video presentation that received heavy play on AcasaTV. The song was featured on a compilation CD with songs from other Romanian soap operas. Pacatele Evei was one of the most popular songs in Romania during 2006.

In 2007, Fodor recorded "Vise de fum" with DJ Raou. A fan created the video for the song. Also in 2007, the official fan site created a video for the song "Fortuna in sufletul meu" from the 2004 Krypton CD Deasupra Lumii . During 2007 and the beginning of 2008, Fodor starred in Carmen Vioreanu's prize-winning play No One which was stagged at the Teatrul Metropolis in Bucharest, Romania.
