Copilul De Aur (Golden Child) was born in the outskirts of Frumușani. As a great surprise to his dark-skinned gypsy family, the baby was gilded in gold. They considered selling him to a circus, but as soon as they discovered his amazing singing voice, they changed their minds. He was discovered by Dan Bursuc and soon started performing in discobars across Romania. Now he's the lead singer in Fratii de Aur,along with his brother Adrian.
