Biography
Daniel Mocanu was born on September 3, 1992, in Bradu Commune, Argeș County, and attended the "Ion C. Brătianu" National College in Piteşti, where he was not interested in school grades. He played in the junior team of FC Argeș Pitești and in the junior team of FCSB. Mocanu did not continue his career in football afterwards, choosing to be active in the music field. His career in music was initially encouraged by the music teacher Maria Cosmescu from the "Ion C. Brătianu" National College in Pitesti.[1]
Career
Mocanu performs music in the manele style, but with influences from the rap and trap genres. He also plays fiddle music in private. Many of the lyrics in Mocanu's songs are about breaking the law, going to jail, revenge or faith in God.[2]
Mocanu announced his retirement from activity as of January 7, 2021, his last piece being published on January 1 of the same year. After seven months, he returned to music with a new song, still up to now.
Controversies
Daniel Mocanu has been involved in a series of controversies due to his open association with personalities from the Romanian underworld.
Prostitution and incitement to violence against women
On September 26, 2017, Mocanu was arrested and charged in an action organized by the DIICOT Dâmbovița. He was accused by DIICOT prosecutors of leading an organized criminal group, specialized in pimping, money laundering and human trafficking. Mocanu, along with 11 other individuals, is accused of sending a number of young girls into prostitution in the UK and Ireland. In November 2017, his assets were seized by DIICOT prosecutors. As a reaction to the arrest and indictment, Mocanu stated that "he is not a thug or a criminal, he just sings about facts inspired by the people", this "because he loves freedom and it didn't even occur to him to be a fish". The trial in which Mocanu is being tried was not resolved until the end of 2020.[3]
On January 15, 2020, Mocanu was sent to court for committing the crime of incitement to hatred or discrimination. He was reported to the National Council for Combating Discrimination after uploading the video of the song Curwa to the YouTube platform, encouraging violence against women. The complaint was based on the reference to the woman as an object in the lyrics of the song, the comparison of women to dogs and the holding of a woman in chains in the video. In the complaint to the National Council for Combating Discrimination, the play is described as representing "sex discrimination and incitement to violence and has the effect of creating an atmosphere of intimidation, hostile, degrading, humiliating and offensive towards women, especially since the messages conveyed through the lyrics and video of the song "Curwa" are from an artist known to the general public, thus legitimizing and encouraging misogynistic attitudes".[4]
Cruelty to animals
On November 22, 2020, a criminal case was opened against Daniel Mocanu after he published a video in which he appeared with a visibly injured and malnourished lion.[5]
