Florin Stoian was a Roma manele singer who was born on October 1, 1979. When he was a teenager, he sang with the ensembles of his father and uncle.
When his father became old and could not continue singing, Florin Stoian took over from his father and sang with his uncle under the name Florin Fermecătoru’.
Due to the friendship Florin Stoian had with bandleader Dan Bursuc, Dan Bursuc helped him to work on his first single titled “Ce gagică șmecherită” (English: Such a picky chick), in 2002.
Towards the end of 2002, Florin Salam changed his stage name from “Fermecătorul” (English: charming) to the Arabic “Salam” (English: peace, cf. Hebrew shalom). He achieved great success with his first song and this motivated him to record more songs and market them with the help of Dan Bursuc.
Florin Stoian released his first album of manele and was able to sell more than 40,000 copies. The album was well-received by music lovers and his fans.
Through Dan Bursuc, Florin Stoian was able to meet artists such as Vali Vijelie, Nicolae Guță and Daniela Gyorfi who also did the same genre as Florin Stoian.
