The Sunstroke Project was formed in 2008, as a combination of saxophone, violin and vocals. They’ve already performed in over 30 cities around Europe, and spawned several singles and albums. In 2009 they participated in the Moldovan national selection with the song No crime, finishing third to Nelly Ciobanu.
Olia Tira was born in 1988 in Potsdam (then in the German Democratic Republic), and has been singing professionally for seven years. She is a presenter on Moldovan TV. As a result of her family being in the military, she’s lived all over the world, most notably in the Far East.
Olia’s first album Your place or mine? was released in 2008, with all the songs written by Ruslan Taranu.
