One day the guys decided to launch their project. The name for the new collective was invented by Dan Balan. Ozone is fresh and clean air that forms after the rain. So the songs performed by the collective are called to give pleasant sensations to listeners.

In 1999, the Ozon group Released the debut album Dar, unde eti, containing 11 tracks. A talented duo has gained great popularity among Moldovan youth.

Changes

Ozon - a group whose composition has changed in 2001. Peter left the collective. Dan Balan did not close the project. He announced the casting. Soon the group was replenished by two musicians. One of them is called Radu Sirbu, and the second one is Arseniy Toderash.

In August 2002, an updated group of Ozon presented to the listeners a second disc - Number one. This album brought the boys tremendous popularity in Romania.

The team acquired worldwide fame in 2004. Then the third and last record was recorded - Disco-Zone. It included the composition Dragostea din tei, which became a real hit. Many fans sang along to the guys from Ozon, not knowing the Romanian language. The album was among the best selling discs of 2005. Dan Balan and his colleagues did not even dream of such a success.

History of disintegration

On January 14, 2005, a group called Ozon ceased to exist. The contract between Arseniy Toderash, Dan Balan and Radu Sirbu was terminated. What is the reason for this decision? There are several versions. According to one of them, Dan wanted to develop his work in the style of rock. Allegedly he was going to move to the US and start producing one of the local bands.

Now we will announce the second version. In the pocket, Dan Balan was sent 80% of all income group Ozon. Other members of the team were not satisfied with such a distribution of financial flows.

There is one more version of the collapse of the Moldovan group. Ostensibly Dan Balan went to the United States for the New Year holidays. He organized the performances of Ozon, but with completely different participants.

Arseniy and Radu did not confirm any of these rumors. They consider this the intrigues of envious and ill-wishers. The disintegration of the group in the circles of the team has long been known. What was needed was just an excuse for decisive action.

Continuation of career

In 2007, Romanian and Moldovan media reported that the Ozon group Returns to show business. However, this news was a newspaper duck. Creative ways Radu, Arseny and Dana long separated. The guys do not communicate with each other.

The greatest success in show business was achieved by Dan Balan. To date, his moneybox has several popular singles, including Chica Bomb, Lendo Calendo and Freedom.
