Akcent is a world-famous musical group from Romania. The group appeared on the stellar "sky of music" in 1991, when a promising aspiring DJ artist Adrian Claudiu Sana decided to create his own pop group.
The team was called Akcent. The musicians performed their songs in English, French and Spanish. The group released songs in such genres as: house, eurodance, eurodisco, pop.
Rotation in the Akcent team
Initially, it was a duet, which included two musicians - Adrian Claudiu Sana and his girlfriend Ramona Barta. But in 2001, she left the team and got married. Then she moved to the United States for a long-term residence.
In 2002, the number of team members changed. In addition to Adrian, the group included: Marius Nedelcu, Sorin Stefan Brotney, Mihai Gruja.
Creativity and discography
The band's discography from 2000 to 2005
The band's debut collection of songs was called Senzatia. One of the Ultima Vara tracks later became the main track of 2000. A music video was then released for the song, although the debut album was not successful. The "failure" of the album was one of the reasons for the departure of Ramona Barta.
When the group transformed from a duo to a quartet, the musicians released the song Ti-Am Promis, which became the band's debut track.
The second album Inculori was released in 2002. The same one described earlier by Ti-Am Promis was added to this release, as well as such successful tracks as Prima Iubire. Then the participants performed in support of the album in their homeland, and were even awarded by the MTV channel.
In the meantime, a year later, the group created the next collection of tracks "100 BPM", which included bewitching songs: Buchet de Trandafiri and Suflet Pereche.
Akcent presented the album Poveste De Viata to the public in 2004. In this album, listeners noticed how the style of songs has changed dramatically. Thanks to two songs included in the album (Poveste De Viata and Spune-mi), the group enjoyed great popularity.
The next disc SOS in the spirit of disco became significant for the band because of the song Dragoste De Inchiriat (Romanian version of the song Kylie). The album includes 12 tracks, where four of them were written by musicians from Italy on the old school theme.
The guys became successful in 2004. The song Kylie took the lead in the charts in many European countries. Members of the Akcent group successfully tour all European countries with concerts.
The band's discography from 2006 to 2010
Bathed in the rays of popularity, the guys did not forget about work. And in 2006 they presented their debut English-language album French Kiss With Kylie to their fans. In 2007, the musicians released the compilation album Kings of Disco, where the song of the same name entered the European charts.
A year later, Marius Nedelko left the lineup, who wanted to make a solo career. Instead, the ex-member of the Bliss band Corneliu Ulich joined the team. But the new musician did not stay in the band for a long time and left the group six months later. In the new line-up, the guys only managed to create the song Umbrela Ta.
In 2009, the Akcent group released two albums Fărălacrimi at once and an English-language analogue of True Believers. The two songs Stay With Me and That's My Name were written by renowned musician Edward Maya. True, a year later, the group accused the latter of stealing the melody of That's My Name and using Stereo Love in his own song.
In the same year, Adrian Claudiu Sana also built a personal musical career in parallel, releasing two singles - Love Stoned and My Passion. These songs were especially popular in the Arab countries and Asia.
Discography of the group from 2010 to the present

And in the Akcent group, only one member Adrian Claudiu Sana remained. After the breakup of the group, he released two singles - Lacrimi Drug and Boracay.
