Mini bio

Before the cameras.

Horia grew up in Brașov and studied singing and piano at the city’s Popular School of Arts. He sang tenor in the Astra choir, started a vocal quartet as a student and formed his first band, Apropo, before turning 20.

The television breakthrough.

A summer appearance in Costinești led to a television audition in Bucharest. He became the host of TVR’s Robingo in 1993, with the first episode airing on October 3. Children’s shows including Tip Top Minitop and Kiki Riki Miki followed.

Songs and an orchestra.

HB Orchestra became the centre of his concert life. His albums include 35, 37 and 40+, and songs such as “Septembrie, luni” and “Fac ce-mi spune inima” connect his pop, funk and soul work with the live shows fans know him for.

Making room for other voices.

His television coaching includes Vocea României and X Factor. He later founded an arts academy and, in November 2021, launched Lucruri simple, a podcast where guests tell their stories and make music with him.
