MOLDOVA – Born in Moldova’s capital, Chișinău, in 1987, Natalia has always been ambitious and enjoys entering competitions.
She won a major prize at the prestigious International Arts Festival Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk, Belarus in 2006 and was awarded the honorary title of ‘Emeritus Artist’ of Moldova in 2008.
No stranger to the Eurovision Song Contest, the decorated vocalist represented her nation in 2006 alongside Arsenie Todiraș (once of boyband O-Zone, famed for their smash hit Dragostea Din Tei) with the track Loca (finishing in 20th place), and was also due to compete in 2020 with the track Prison.
The sweet symphony Sugar was written by pop powerhouses Dimitris Kontopoulos and Philipp Kirkorov, with lyrics by Mikhail Gutseriev and Sharon Vaughn (who has written for a number of Eurovision acts including Jedward, Måns Zelmerlöw and Sergey Lazarev).
