Born in Mangalia and raised in Neptun, she studied political science at Ovidius University before meeting Romanian trio Play & Win and pursuing a music career. Inna adopted the stage name "Alessandra" in 2008 and adopted a pop-rock style; later that year, she changed her stage name to "Inna" and began releasing house music. "Hot" (2008), her debut single, was a commercial success worldwide and topped Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart. She signed with Ultra Records in April 2009. Her studio album of the same name followed in August 2009, and was certified Gold and Platinum.

Inna's second album, I Am the Club Rocker (2011), was honored as one of that year's best albums by her label Roton and yielded global success for the single "Sun Is Up" (2010). The track won the Eurodanceweb Award, making Inna the first and only Romanian artist to win the award. Her follow-up studio album, Party Never Ends (2013), was nominated for two consecutive years for Best Album at the Romanian Music Awards and reached the top 10 in Mexico. In 2014 Inna signed with Atlantic Records and released "Cola Song", a commercially successful collaboration with J Balvin.

Life and career

1986–2007: Early life and career

Elena Alexandra Apostoleanu was born on 16 October 1986 in Mangalia and was raised in Neptun.[10][11] Her mother, grandmother and grandfather sang as a hobby,[12] and she also became interested in music.[13] As a teenager, Inna listened to a variety of music, including electro house and europop, and to artists such as Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston.[13][14] She attended Colegiul Economic (Economy College) in Mangalia, later studying political science at Ovidius University in Constanţa. Inna took singing lessons and participated in music festivals.[15] After an unsuccessful audition for the Romanian band A.S.I.A.,[12] she sold slippers in Neptun.[16]

When Inna worked in an office, her manager heard her singing and contacted Play & Win.[17] Adopting the stage name "Alessandra" in 2008, she entered "Goodbye" and "Sorry" to represent Romania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008; neither was selected.[18] Inna performed "Goodbye" live on the primetime TV show, Teo!, her first televised appearance.[19] Later that year, she changed her stage name to "Inna" since it was easy to memorize; she also said that it was what her grandfather used to call her when she was young.[3] Early in her career, Inna released pop-rock songs,[20] but changed to "commercial" minimal-infused house music after changing her stage name.[3] In a News of the World interview, Inna cited Swedish House Mafia, The Black Eyed Peas and Jessie J as inspirations.[21] Others are Pink, Whitney Houston and Celine Dion.[22]

Inna's debut song, "Hot", was sent to Romanian radio stations in August 2008.[23] The single topped the Romanian Top 100 that winter,[24] and she was booked at Romanian nightclubs.[25] The track was commercially successful throughout Europe.[26] In early 2010, "Hot" topped Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart.[27] "Love" (2009) was released as Inna's second single, reaching number four in Romania.[28] The singer received the first nominations of her career (for "Hot") at the 2009 Eska Music Awards in Poland.[29] Her Romanian label, Roton, signed a contract with the well-know American Ultra Records in April 2009.[30]

Inna collaborated with Romanian musician Bogdan Croitoru on her follow-up single, "Déjà Vu" (2009). It was controversial in Romania because the artists released the song under pseudonyms (Bob Taylor and Anni), revealing their true identities after a period of speculation.[31][32][33] The single was as commercially successful as its predecessors.[34] Inna had her second number-one hit on the Romanian Top 100 with "Amazing", her fourth single, in 2009.[35] The song was originally written by Play & Win for Romanian singer Anca Baidu, who later complained that they had "stolen" it.[36] Inna's debut studio album, Hot, was released in August 2009[37] and included the final single "10 Minutes" (2010).[38] The record was commercially successful, certified Gold in the Netherlands and Romania[39][40] and Platinum in France.[41] In May 2011, it had sold one million copies worldwide.[42][43] Inna was the Best Romanian Act at the 2009 and 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards, the first Romanian artist to win the award in two consecutive years.[44] In 2010, she was also nominated for Best European Act.[45]

Inna's sixth single, "Sun Is Up", was released in June 2010[46] and peaked at number two on the Romanian Top 100.[47] It did well in a number of other European countries, earning Gold in Switzerland and Italy[48][49] and Silver in the United Kingdom.[50] "Sun Is Up" won the Eurodanceweb Award in 2010, the first time Romania won the award.[51] That year, Inna received a career award at the Zece Pentru România Awards.[52] In January 2011, she bought a €250,000 penthouse apartment in Pantelimon,[53] and was congratulated by will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas for her achievements during the after-party of the NRJ Music Awards, wishing her luck in the American music business.[54] She released her second studio album, I Am the Club Rocker, in September 2011.[55][56] The record, featuring europop, dance-pop, techno and house music,[57][58] was honored as one of the year's best albums by Roton (her label)[59] and was certified Gold in Romania and Poland.[60][61] The album was promoted by the I Am the Club Rocker Tour (2011–12) of Europe and the United States.[62][63] In Mexico, Inna had interviews and radio appearances.[64] She had her first major Romanian concert at the Arenele Romane (Roman Arena) in Bucharest, where she arrived by helicopter "like a diva".[65]

"Club Rocker" (2011), the second single from I Am the Club Rocker, was moderately successful.[66] It was involved in a lawsuit when Spanish singer Robert Ramirez sued Play & Win for copying the refrain of his song, "A Minute of Life".[67] Three subsequent singles, "Un Momento" (2011), "Endless" (2011) and "Wow" (2012), were released from the album.[68][69][70] "Endless" peaked at number five on the Romanian Top 100.[71] In December 2011 Inna was offered a lead role in a French film, but she turned it down because the role involved nudity.[72]
