Career

Early life

Paula Seling, who has a brother called Paul, was born in Baia Mare on 25 December 1978. After graduating from the Gheorghe Şincai National College in June 1997,[15][16] she studied journalism in Bucharest, graduating in 2002.

She has been playing piano since she was 6 years old, studying at the "School of Performing Arts" with Mariana Tilca. At the age of 10, she began to sing in the school choir, soon becoming a soloist, and at the age of 15, she joined a band, the "Enders", as a piano player.[17]

"I learned a lot about music by participating in national and county level piano contests, festivals and choral music contests. It was my success in these Performances that helped me find confidence. I learned a lot during this time... I gained some experience and self-confidence as a result of successful performances.."

—Seling, on the difficulty of her music career[18]

In 1995, she won the Best Instrumental Interpreter award at the “Steaua de cristal” (The Crystal Star) Contest in Botoșani, “Ursulețul de aur” (The Golden Teddy Bear) award in Baia Mare, and the first place at the "Armonia" (Harmony) Festival in Bucharest. That year she met Paul Nanca of the Phoenix Cultural Foundation and most of her musician friends who are still with her today.

In 1996, she won, under the guidance of Anda Popp, the "Aurelian Andreescu" trophy, and she had her first performance at the "Golden Stag",[19] in the show “Viața de român” (Romanian life)[20] as a backup vocalist.

Then, in the same show, she was invited to sing "When the Winter Comes" by herself.

In 1997, she opened for Joan Baez,[21] participated in the Mamaia Trophy with the song "Trurli" a Romanian song, and released her first album in English, "Only Love", recorded at Sound House Records, Germany;[22][23] then sang in the show "Din darul magilor" (From the Magi's Gift) in December 1997.

Music career 1998–2008

Paula Seling competed in the Selectia Nationala 1998[24][25] along with the band Talisman with the song "Te iubesc". They managed to end up fourth (with 565 points), as they were the second favorites for the jurors and the sixth favorites for televoters. The special jury considered their song the most suitable for the Eurovision Song Contest 1998.

Seling competed in the Mamaia Festival 2001 with her performance of "Ploaie în Luna lui Marte"[26] (a cover of Nicu Alifantis' older hit). Then, she received national recognition after winning the Golden Stag Festival in 2002.

Seling was signed to Roton Records in the fall of 2002, after winning The Golden Stag International trophy. In 2003 she won an MTV Romanian Award for "Best Music Video", for a video which she co-directed. In early 2005 she launched her own record label, "Unicorn Records Romania", along with her father and brother. She has sung duets with Al Bano, Anita Doth (from 2 Unlimited) and Tony Hawks. She has performed as an opening act for Joan Baez (27 June 1997), Chick Corea (9 November 1998), Michael Bolton (7 July 2007), and Beyoncé (26 October 2007). In 2008, she performed a song together with manele singer Florin Salam at the Bucharest Symphonic Orchestra. The show host described their performance as a reconciliation between manele and mainstream pop music; in the same respect, the song's lyrics raised the problem of ethnic intolerance.

The first step in the world of music

Paula Seling decided to perform rock, jazz, jazz-rock, soul, rhythm and blues and more, but unfortunately she didn't realize how big that goal was.[27] At the time, unplugged music became popular so Paula suggested to people at the Phoenix Foundation that they work together to add this sort of music to an album.

Dana Cristescu had the idea to involve Nicu Alifantis with composing and producing this album. Seling remembers that he offered her some songs to be recorded in the beginning. Therefore, she chose "Ploaie în Luna lui Marte",[28] to be the first track.

Paula remembers clearly "all the bright eyes looking at me kindly as I was looking out to the audience and hundreds of voices were singing with me "ploouuaaa infernaaaal" and "noooi ne iubeaaam..." it's an amazing feeling. It was nice to see people happy and enjoying my music! "

The first album and Ploaie în Luna lui Marte success

Amy Winehouse tribute concert in Bucharest with Paula

The song eventually got to George Zafiu, DJ at Radio 21, who started to broadcast it on his shows." After many requests, Paula's team agreed to record the first album in Romanian named Ştiu că exist/ "I know I exist"[29] and “Colinde și Cantece Sfinte” (Christmas carols and Holy songs)[30] with the Romanian singer-songwriter Narcisa Suciu. It represents the best of her musical self study at that time.

At the same time, Paula won the "Ascending Star" award by Avantaje magazine.

On 9 November in the same year she performed at the opening of Chick Corea's concert in Bucharest. The project that came after the concert involving her with the percussionist Lucian Maxim and it was a fusion of jazz with classical music and old Romanian gypsy music found in the traditional remakes of Marius Mihalache.

A new album was ready to be released in 1999, called "De dragoste" (For Love)[31][32][33] that gathered ten songs composed by Nicu Alifantis. It is the first complete album that she had released, with songs such as "Almost Silence"/"Aproape liniște"; "The Shadow"/"Umbra"; "How Good Cause You Are"/"Ce bine că ești".

Nicu Alifantis was influential with her career direction. "Ploaie în luna lui Marte" brought her an award "The Hit of the Year" at the Mamaia Festival in the same year. After all this Paula took a break, while she was trying to find her way in life and in her music. "I wanted to sing but I also wanted to give real attention to the courses I had registered for."

Eventually Seling started to write music and lyrics, with her brother, Paul Seling. They started to plan an album that would mark a change in her music, a change of attitude, music and sound.

Performances and music videos

In January 2001 Paula released "Mă voi întoarce" (I’ll be back),[34] a special album, calm and gentle, with winter songs. The song "Lângă mine"[35] (Next to me),which was a duet with the band Direcția 5, more precisely with Cristi Enache[36][37] and it was also included in their album.

They worked on the album until the fall of 2001. Paul and Paula succeeded to mostly finalize the album and they decided to include Cezar Stănciulescu and Cristi Ştefănescu, members of the Band, NSK. This two were excellent guys to work with, they were, as Paula says  : "artists with brilliant ideas about music, that considerably improved the album and its sound". It was the first album in which all the lyrics were written only by Paula. The title of the album was "Știi ce înseamnă (să fii fericit)" (You know what it means (to be happy)),[22] and encompass songs lile "Promise"/"Promit", one of the most known songs of Paula, that was available in Romanian, and in English, as well. Also in 2001, a truly tense year, Paula released the album " Prima selecție " (First selection),[22] a song collection from concerts, duets and remakes of some of her best songs. In the same period, our teen star, worked with an artist that she found very interesting: Puya[38] from La Familia. They arrived earlier at the studio where she was recording a song with strong message and Puya had not found a female vocalist yet. The song seemed very good to Paula's abilities and she offered to record it with him.

The song named "Fii pregătit" (Be ready) was released and was very popular so a few weeks later, they were presenting it in a performance from Mamaia.[39] As 2001 finish, Seling received The Award for the best female singer within the Awards of the Romanian Music Industries. It was very important, because it proved to her that he was on the right track with his music and his performances. After that, Paula also had the opportunity to cooperate with one of the best directors from Romania, Andreea Păduraru, for the music video of the song "Serile verii" (Summer evenings)[40] (of the album "You know what it means"/"Știi ce înseamnă").

Remarkably the music video was filmed under the water, and at the middle of the video, Paula recite: We wait, each of us, with our soul sit back by our body and by each of our words/Our shadows are laying to the world, and we wait for their dead in the darkness, with terraces, and songs.... . This music video in turn brought for our celebrity, the award for the best artist in a Music Video, and the award for the best Music Video on the MTV Music Awards Romania 2002.[41] Yes, we can say it very loud: 2002, was for Paula's career, the passage to "professionalism".

Later on, Paula thought she was artistically experienced enough to try to prepare herself for the Golden Stag Festival,[42][43] where she present two of her songs: "Noapte caldă" (Warm Night) and "That old devil called love". This festival had, in a way, a certain kind of fairy tale fragrance, it represented a symbol of the passage to "professionalism" for the artist, it was a test for her music career, maybe also because, for many years, she was watching it with her parents, and they were prognosticating about possible winners, they were granting qualifications and mainly, she was dreaming.

"I was dreaming that I could somehow get there. I prepared myself when I was participating in the piano contests and I was not allowed to use my hands except for studying, not even for cleaning the house, I was not allowed, isn't that great. I rescheduled all the performances of that period and I was studying for three hours each day. I had to remember each musical note from the score for voice and the piano, I had practiced it hundreds of times and I wanted to be prepared for everything"

Paula was wondering about her musical skills[18]

The event called for two songs to be performed. The first song was only piano and vocalist. She walked out on the stage with her eyes closed, rehearsing what she had previously prepared. Paula was a little bit scared but was very excited. Then she sat on the chairman. With determination and "feeling", this girl performed the first few notes ... and nothing! The piano did not work! She felt like crying, she had no idea what to do, she could not believe what was happening. On the day of the contest the piano had decided to quit. Paula was just about to give up when she though maybe somehow they forgot to turn on, remembered just in time that there was a power switch. "I reach over and switched it on and I had such an emotional start that it improved my "performance", I made it through and I won the most important award in my life."

Another thing that Paula remember from Brașov was on the day of the festivity, when everybody was full of excitement and pressure, then, she met a journalist who do an interview about the contest. They sat around a table, and, with an attitude of self-confidence, he told her: "Look: We are going to make this interview work by pretending that you do not know about winning of the award..." In that moment all that Paula wants was to win this award so much but she didn't dare hope she was getting it. She also did not want to find out, not yet wanted to hear it when it was announced that evening, while sitting alone with her thoughts and her prayers, in the first row in front of the stage. The evening was incredible, she remember: " The Scorpions, one of my favorite bands since I was a child, was invited to Brașov to close the Golden Stag Festival with a performance. Well, they invited me on the stage and dedicated the most wonderful song – Still Loving You. At that time, I cried, It was incredible!".[44]

Seling and international collaborations

Paula Seling in Copenhagen for the Eurovision Song Contest

This year, 2002, was for Seling, an international opportunity indeed: was herself, in the TV series documentary Open House,[45] in the episode dated on 20 February 2002; also she had a very interesting experience, being a fairy tale character in a story about making a music hit somewhere, in the world. Tony Hawks, producer, composer, director and writer proposed himself to cast a documentary movie on the Discovery Channel, a movie, named "One Hit Wonderland",[46] that reveals to the audience the recipe for the success of a song. He picked Paula as a study subject in Romania, they recorded a song, his composition, in his studio from London and then, the city started promoting it.

The whole story took off and they performed it on Gloria Hunniford's show on Channel 5 in London. Then Paula and Tony went to club Kashmir, famous for many British star debuts, where together with her band Paula performed her songs, and the show was broadcast on the internet, also. A new award come to Paula's treasury, awards at FIDOF international festivals in Cesme, Turkey, Skopje; Macedonia, LA VALETTA–Malta.[47]

2003 year brought Seling a management agreement with a French producer. She worked intensely to compose, orchestrate and record an album for the French market. The album that consisted of songs in French and English was recorded in Paris. Unfortunately the album could not be completed but Paula got to see France, so all was not lost. In the same year, the singer released the most "consistent" album, so far it had 17 songs and it was called "Fara sfârșit" (Endless). On the same album was the song "Timpul"(La radio se-anunță ploi)/ Time (Rains are announced on the Radio) whose music video was completed in Venice by another director of exception – Dragoș Buliga, and it has 2.297.821 views on YouTube, becoming her emblem song[48] After dark comes new clouds, so, after was nominated in 2004 for MTV Music Awards as the best artist for the same song (Time), in 2005 ring the wedding bells, for Paula, and a handsome man, Radu Bucura; they were doing everything together, furthermore they opened a production studio, UNICORN RECORDS where the word working was to the fore, they want to do their best for music.

In 2005 was a year of celebration, cause Paula "solemnize" 10 years from her debut. Ten years from her first performance at the Golden Stag Festival 1996. They seemed to pass in a moment and looking back, she feel that each second was great. "Every joy, every tear, every song recorded and every moment of comfort and loneliness had its own role."[18] Paula remember with all of her heart this moment : "I can especially remember what I felt when the entire audience in the Sică Alexandrescu theatre hall sang together with me, with my band and the Orchestra, in the anniversary concert that took place on 1 June 2006, remembering with each song, moments of the past 10 years."

The next year, 2006 was the time for a new album in Paula's opinion, by the same token, because this year ended in a great way, Radu and the star was released a special album called "De sarbatori" /"For Holidays" with traditional Christmas carols and sacred songs of Paula.

2007 came with three of the most important events of Paula's career : opening act for Michael Bolton in Brașov on 7 July and for Beyonce in Cluj on 22 October. The same year sge had the pleasure of meeting Anita Doth, a member of the band 2 Unlimited with whom she sang a duet on the stage of Callatis – a festival in a beautiful seaside resort called Mangalia. "It was an amazing experience, I had the chance to know her better, talk a lot, sing a lot and I realised she is a great and warm person, a special and powerful voice." The interesting fact is that they recorded together the song "If you want it" the English version of "Noapte caldă"[49] which she wrote together with her brother back in 2001.

Al Bano choose Paula Seling

The year 2008 started with a great achievement – Paula had the chance to sing in duet with Al Bano[50] in Iași. Al Bano was definitely a great musician, a wonderful man and a special personality, so Paula was lucky to have met him and to have shared the stage with "The Maestro" for five times already, and each time was a joy and a blessing for her. Later that year Seling and her team, decided to make a "Best of", sort of a compilation with the most important songs of the 10 years of her musical career, includes 19 tracks, some of them with their original orchestration, some of them with a new production redone in Unicorn Records studio. The album was called "1998–2008".

The same year, on 22 December – very close to Seling's birthday – The National Journal produced an album of her with 23 Holyday songs that sold in almost 100.000 copies in few hours. That was the best present that her listeners could give her that year, for her birthday. Also, in the same year she took the 3rd Place, National Selection Eurovision Final with the song "Seven Days".
