INNA (real name Alexandra) is a 24 year old girl, originating from the Romanian Black Sea Coast. She knew where she was headed very early so she started voice coaching at the tender age of 8. Towards the end of 2007, Inna met with the guys from Play&Win, produced her first single, “Hot” and changed the history of dance music as we knew it.
In a few short months INNA became a household name and her music a fixture in the clubs. “HOT” smashed the music charts, shortly after its release. Soon spreading to Europe, the single received airplay in Russia, Poland, Bulgaria, Serbia, Slovakia, Greece, Belgium, Netherlands. And thus the story kept on going – all her singles “Love”, “Deja-Vu”, “Amazing” or “Sun is Up” become hits and she received only the most prestigious international awards in her area.
