About Akcent

Akcent is a multi-certified, award-winning Romanian dance pop act whose members sing in Romanian, English, Polish and Spanish. The group was created by Adrian Sînă, and Ramona Barta. Their first single "Nu-mi pasă de nimeni" got positive reactions from critics and became the reason Catalin Muraru signed them to Roton in 1999. They released their debut album Senzatzia in 2000. Except for the first track "Ultima vara" which received some airplay, the album was a commercial failure and the band disbanded. Soon after, Sina brought Marius Nedelcu, Mihai Gruia and Sorin Brotnei into the group, changing it from a duo to a boyband. They came to prominence once with the release of their hit single "Ti-am promis".
The climax of the group's career was the international release of their breakthrough single "Kylie", the English version of their internal hit "Dragoste De Inchiriat". The song reached peak position in many European charts and fared well enough in countries such as the Netherlands and France. The band even participated in the Selecția Națională, with hopes of representing Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest. They united with pop singer Nicoleta Matei and entered the song "Jockero", which failed to win. Nevertheless, it became one of their number-one singles on the Romanian Top 100. They continued to see success all through the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Maramureș Adrian Claudiu Sînă formed the band in 1998. Back then, it was just him and singer Ramona Barta. The two sent their debut single to nationwide mainstream radio stations as early as 1999. The song "Ultima vara" (The Last Summer) managed to reach the top-twenty of many airplay charts. The duo also released a studio album titled Senzatia . The album didn’t do well and Barta split from Sînă. The duo changed into a boyband when Sina introduced Marius Nedelcu, Mihai Gruia and Sorin Brotnei to the group. Their debut album În culori was released in Romania on January 10, 2002 and included the hit single "Ţi-am promis". They rose to fame instantly when "Ti-am promis" reached the summit of the Romanian Top 100 during winter 2001. Some months later, it was eventually certified Platinum by the Uniunea Producătorilor de Fonograme din România. During this time, they won multiple MTV Romania Music Awards as well.

In 2003, the band released their third studio album, 100 BPS. It’s title refers to the intensity of heartbeat during a kiss. It included their number-one single "Buchet the trandafiri" (Bunch of roses). Their fourth album, Poveste de viata was also a huge success for the phenomenonal band. It included hits like "Spune-mi (Hey Baby!)". They reached the zenith of their success with the release of their studio album S.O.S. and its lead single "Dragoste de inchiriat" (love for rent). It became their signature song and hit number-one in Romania, both digitally and in airplay. Due to its immense success, the song was re-written in English and released to the international market as "Kylie" (an ode to Kylie Minogue). It became a radio hit in countries like Turkey, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Greece and Ukraine. Akcent's debut English album “French Kiss with Kylie” was released in Europe on August 23, 2006, and it included their two smash hit singles, "Kylie" and "Jokero".
