Biography

1986—2004: Early life and career beginnings

Mangalia, where Inna grew up.

Elena Alexandra Apostoleanu was born on October 16, 1986, in the village of Neptun, Romania, near Mangalia on the Black Sea. Her grandmother and mother were both occasional singers at local parties or night clubs. When she was a teenager, Inna listened to a large variety of musical genres. Although her favourite style was electro house, she also used to listen to Beyoncé or ballads by Celine Dion or Whitney Houston with whom many find similarities. She recalls that it was easy for her to sing every song that she liked, reaching most of the high notes. She went to "Mangalia Economical Lyceum" high school in Mangalia, since renamed "Colegiul Economic Mangalia" — Mangalia Economy College. After graduating from high school she studied Political science at Ovidius University in Constanţa.
