She has been playing piano since she was 6 years old, having studied at the "School of Performing Arts" with Mariana Tilca. At the age of 10, she began to sing in the school choir, soon becoming a soloist. At the age of 15, she joined a band, the "Enders", as a piano player.[17]
Paula has been married to Radu Bucura since 2005, a friend from her teenage years and the drummer in Dana Nalbaru's band.[18] She is a Romanian Orthodox and is also anti-abortion. She attended the March for Life, in Bucharest, in March 2016.[19]
Career
"I learned a lot about music by participating in national and county level piano contests, festivals and choir music contests. It was my success in these performances that helped me find confidence. I learned a lot during this time... I gained some experience and self-confidence as a result of successful performances."
—Seling, on the difficulty of her music career[20][irrelevant citation]
In 1995, she won the Best Instrumental Interpreter award at the "Steaua de cristal" (The Crystal Star) Contest in Botoșani, "Ursulețul de aur" (The Golden Teddy Bear) award in Baia Mare, and first place at the "Armonia" (Harmony) Festival in Bucharest. That year she met Paul Nanca of the Phoenix Cultural Foundation and most of her musician friends who are still with her today.
In 1996, she won the "Aurelian Andreescu" trophy under the guidance of Anda Popp and she had her first performance at the "Golden Stag",[21] in the show "Viața de român" (Romanian life)[22] as a backup vocalist.
In 1997, she opened for Joan Baez,[23] participated in the Mamaia Trophy with the song "Trurli" a Romanian song, and released her first album in English, "Only Love", recorded at Sound House Records, Germany;[24][25] then sang in the show "Din darul magilor" (From the Magi's Gift) in December 1997.
Paula Seling competed in the Selectia Nationala 1998[26][27] teaming up with band Talisman with the song "Te iubesc". They came in fourth (with 565 points), as the jury voted them in second place and tele-voters put them in sixth place. The special jury considered their song the most suitable for the Eurovision Song Contest 1998.
Seling competed in the Mamaia Festival 2001 with her performance of "Ploaie în luna lui marte" (Rain in the Moon of Mars) [28] (a cover of Nicu Alifantis' older hit). She received national recognition after winning the Golden Stag Festival in 2002.
Seling was signed by Roton Records in the fall of 2002, after winning The Golden Stag International trophy. In 2003, she won an MTV Romanian Award for "Best Music Video" for a video which she co-directed. In early 2005, she launched her own record label, "Unicorn Records Romania", along with her father and brother. She has sung duets with Al Bano, Anita Doth (from 2 Unlimited) and Tony Hawks. She has performed as an opening act for Joan Baez (27 June 1997), Chick Corea (9 November 1998), Michael Bolton (7 July 2007), and Beyoncé (26 October 2007). In 2008, she performed a song together with "manele" singer Florin Salam at the Bucharest Symphonic Orchestra.
Paula Seling decided to perform rock, jazz, jazz-rock, soul, and rhythm and blues.[29] At the time, unplugged music was popular so Paula suggested a collaboration with the Phoenix Foundation to create an album.
Dana Cristescu proposed involving Nicu Alifantis in composing and producing this album. Seling offered her some songs and she chose "Ploaie în luna lui marte" to be the first track.[citation needed]
Paula remembers "all the bright eyes looking at me kindly as I was looking out to the audience and hundreds of voices were singing with me "ploouuaaa infernaaaal" and "noooi ne iubeaaam..." it's an amazing feeling. It was nice to see people happy and enjoying my music! "[citation needed]
The First Album and "Ploaie în Luna Lui Marte" Success
The song eventually got to George Zafiu, DJ at Radio 21, who started to broadcast it on his shows. After many requests, Paula's team agreed to record the first album in Romanian named Ştiu că exist/ "I know I exist" and "Colinde și cântece sfinte" (Christmas carols and Holy songs) with the Romanian singer-songwriter Narcisa Suciu. It represents the best of her musical self study at that time.[citation needed]
At the same time, Paula Seling won the "Ascending Star" award by Avantaje magazine.
On November 9, 1998, she was the opening act for Chick Corea's concert in Bucharest.[citation needed] Following the concert Seling collaborated with percussionist Lucian Maxim on a project which was a fusion of jazz, classical music and old Romanian gypsy music found in the traditional remakes of Marius Mihalache.
In 1999 Seling released an album called "De dragoste" (For Love)[30][31][32] which gathered ten songs composed by Nicu Alifantis. It was Seling's first complete album and included songs such as "Almost Silence"/"Aproape liniște"; "The Shadow"/"Umbra"; and "How Good That You Exist"/"Ce bine că ești".
Nicu Alifantis influenced her career path. "Ploaie în luna lui Marte" brought her "The Hit of the Year" award at the Mamaia Festival in the same year. After all this, Paula took a break while trying to find her way in life and her music. "I wanted to sing, but I also wanted to give real attention to the courses I had registered for."
Eventually, Seling started to write music and lyrics with her brother, Paul Seling. They started to plan an album that would mark a change in her music, attitude, music and sound.
Performances and Music Videos
In January 2001 Paula released the album "Mă voi întoarce" (I will return).[33] The song "Lângă mine"[34] (Next to me), a duet with the band Direcția 5, more precisely with Cristi Enache[35][36] was also included in their album.
They worked on the album until the fall of 2001. Paul and Paula succeeded to mostly finalise the album and they decided to include Cezar Stănciulescu and Cristi Ştefănescu, members of the band NSK. The two were excellent professionals to work with. It was the first album in which all the lyrics were written exclusively by Paula. The title of the album was "Știi ce înseamnă (să fii fericit)" (You know what it means (to be happy)),[24] and includes songs like "Promise"/"Promit", one of Paula's most famous songs, that was available in Romanian, and in English, as well. Also in 2001, a truly intense year, Paula released the album " Prima selecție " (First selection),[24] a song collection from concerts, duets and remakes of some of her best songs. In the same period, the teen star, worked with an artist that she found very interesting: Puya[37] from La Familia. They arrived early at the studio where she was recording a song with a strong message and Puya had not found a female vocalist yet. The song seemed very suitable to Paula's abilities and she offered to record it with him.
The song named "Fii pregătit" (Be ready) was released and was very popular so a few weeks later, they were presenting it in a performance in Mamaia.[38] As 2001 ended, Seling received The Award for the best female singer at the Awards of the Romanian Music Industries. It was very important, because it proved to her that she was on the right track with her music and performances. After that, Paula also had the opportunity to collaborate with one of the best directors from Romania, Andreea Păduraru, for the music video of the song "Serile verii" (Summer evenings)[39] (of the album "You know what it means"/"Știi ce înseamnă").
This music video brought Paula the award for the best artist in a Music Video and the award for the Best Music Video on the MTV Music Awards Romania 2002.[40]
At the Golden Stag Festival,[41][42] Seling performed two of her songs: "Noapte caldă" (Warm Night) and "That old devil called love".[43]

In 2002, Seling played herself in the TV series documentary Open House.[44] Tony Hawks, producer, composer, director and writer wanted to cast a documentary movie on the Discovery Channel, a movie, named "One Hit Wonderland",[45] that reveals the recipe for the success of a song. He picked Paula as a study subject in Romania, they recorded a song, his composition, in his studio from London and then, the city started promoting it. They performed the song on Gloria Hunniford's show on Channel 5 in London.
