Wrs

Andrei-Ionuț Ursu, professionally known as Wrs, was born on January 16, 1993, in Buzău, Romania. His early artistic endeavors began at the age of 12, influenced by his parents who were folk music dancers. This foundation led him to a career as a professional dancer, where he performed on stage with notable Romanian artists such as Inna, Antonia, and Carla’s Dreams. He also served as a house dancer for prominent television shows like ‘Romania’s Got Talent’ and ‘The Voice of Romania’ on Pro TV, showcasing his versatile performance abilities.

In 2015, Ursu shifted his focus towards music, starting his vocal career as a member of the boyband Shot. After two years with the group, he decided to pursue a solo career and further develop his songwriting skills, moving to London. This period marked a significant turning point, leading to his signing with Global Records in January 2020. Under the stage name Wrs, he launched his electro-pop solo project, concurrently releasing his debut single, ‘Why.’ His career trajectory continued its upward trend when he released the song ‘Llámame’ in February 2022. This track was selected to represent Romania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, where he placed 18th in the final. In May 2023, he released his first studio album, ‘FIESTA ’23,’ and later that year, in October 2023, announced his intention to drop his stage name, Wrs.

Throughout his career, Wrs has released 10 singles, featuring 3 collaborations, and has produced several EPs including ‘Mandala’ (March 2022), ‘Cântece de Inimă’ (January 2024), ‘Cântece de Inimă – Vol 2’ (February 2025), and ‘Canciones del Corazón’ (June 2025), all released through Global Records. His consistent output and participation in international events like Eurovision have solidified his presence in the music industry. Wrs regularly engages with his audience through various social media platforms, maintaining a direct connection with his fanbase.
