Fly Project

Fly Project is a Romanian dance group formed in Bucharest in 2005 by Tudor Ionescu and Dan Denes. The duo released their debut album, “Fly Project,” in the same year, which featured their first hit single, “Raisa.” This track quickly became a number one hit in clubs across Romania, maintaining its position in music rankings until the summer of 2006. The early success of “Raisa” established Fly Project as a prominent act in the Romanian dance music scene.

Building on their initial triumph, Fly Project released “K-Tinne” in 2007, which also achieved significant success and earned them multiple music awards, including the Romanian Top Hits Best Dance and Romanian Top Hits Best Song awards. This period marked a peak in their commercial performance, with their second album registering high sales and leading to a record number of concert bookings within a single year. Their 2008 single “Brasil,” featuring Anca Parghel and Tom Boxer, further expanded their international reach, topping charts in countries like Russia, Greece, Spain, and the Netherlands. The song also received a nomination for “Best Dance Song” at the Romanian Music Awards.

Throughout the 2010s, Fly Project continued to produce successful singles such as “Mandala” (2010), “Goodbye” (2011), “Musica” (2012), “Back In My Life” (2013), and “Toca Toca” (2013). “Toca Toca” was particularly notable, gaining popularity in Italy, Russia, Ukraine, and France, and earning a Gold Disc for sales in Italy and a Platinum certification in Spain. In 2014, the group received the “Best Dance Award” for “Toca Toca” and the “Border Breaker Award” at the Romanian Music Awards, recognizing their international success. Following several collaborations and their #MostWanted international tour, Tudor Ionescu became the sole member of Fly Project in 2021, continuing to release music and perform.
