However, fate stepped in when one of her co-workers heard her singing to herself at the office her work friend had an in with the successful Romanian production team Play & Win, and Apostoleanu was introduced to them. She auditioned for the Romanian group A.S.I.A., but didn't make the cut, and turned to office work to support herself. While Apostoleanu loved music, she was hesitant about making it her career, and in her teens she enrolled at Mangalia's Colegiul Economic (Economy College), where she studied political science. Her parents recognized her talent early on, and when she was seven years old they signed her up for lessons with a vocal coach. Her mother had a career as a singer and dancer, as did her grandmother, and Elena discovered her love of singing while attending church with her family. Inna was born Elena Alexandra Apostoleanu in Mangalia, Romania on October 16, 1986. As Inna's career progressed, she explored a more pop-oriented sound on her 2017 album Nirvana, as well as Latin and Gypsy influences on 2019's Yo. She also proved to be simpatico with Latin artists, duetting with Daddy Yankee ('More Than Friends') and J Balvin ('Cola Song'), and she also worked with hip-hop stars such as Flo Rida ('Club Rocker') and Pitbull ('All the Things'). Hailing from Romania, Inna scored a breakout hit in 2008 with 'Hot,' a tune that first became a chart success in Romania, then swept through Europe and in 2010 crossed over into America. One of Eastern Europe's most popular performers, Inna earned an international reputation as an EDM diva, lending heat and personality to house-influenced dance tracks.
