[UPD] The order of contestants' performance at New Wave



The final for the International Competition Of Young Singers of Popular Music the " New Wave" will start in 3 days.


Mihai Traistariu (Eurovision 2006) is one of the finalists of the Sixth International contest of young singers of popular music "New Wave 2007"

Mihai who arrived at the contest from a Roumanian city of Constanta, has already won five Grand Prix at musical contests in Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Moldova and was the fourth at the "Eurovision - 2006" contest.

He enjoys playing chess and he dreams of being able to live forever. He likes freedom, but he doesn't like solitude.

The finalist of the "New Wave 2007" contest has already got 10 solo albums.

He would gladly act in a comedy, in a horror film or in a sci-fi movie. He did not come from a rich family and he is proud of having made an international career with his own efforts.
He likes the music of Rumanian composers.

The best place for spending a holiday for the artist is Los Angeles. The first kiss at the age of 17 was the funniest experience in his life. He has been playingthe piano since he was seven and he began singing at the age of 16.

He noticed his talent for music himself. He would sing a duet with C.Dion or with M.Bolton with great pleasure.

The artist is not an excellent cook, but the eastern salad that he makes is always very delicious. When he was a child, his friends called him "MISHA". If Mihai were a sponsor, he would invest money in the projects concerning research into span of life and the problem of treatment of oncological diseases.

If the singer had to work in a circus, he would have a success both as an illusionist and as a tamer. He has a good command of French and English. He made his first money performing on stage eight years ago.

He dreams of getting a cell phone number of M.Carey - the artist is inlove with this celebrity. He would be happy to get a small animal as a birthday present. As a child he used to dream of becoming famous. He won 100 euro in a lottery once.

Mihai is sure that it's better to celebrate New Year at home, but to his deep regret he has to make the audience happy performing on the festive night.

If he became a president, his first decree would be called "Smoking is banned". Mihai is fearless, there is nothing in life that could frighten him. He never leaves homewithout a medicine against loss of hair, the schedule of his next concerts, pyjamas, an excellent soap and a toothbrush.

He would gladly make a journey to the future. The singer's motto is "There is nothing impossible". From time to time he gets amazed at the interesting facts he can find about himself in Internet.

Moscow seemed magnificent to the contestant;Mihai is speculating: could it look like Mars?! The idea of becoming a number 1 singer inspires him to work. He is taking part in the "New Wave" contest in order to win.

From his new album "Love is" listen Mihai singing a song both in Chinese and Spanish language.
