Ovidiu Anton

Ovidiu Anton was born in Bucharest Romania in 1983. He is a rock singer and songwriter. In 1998, he founded the rock band Carpe Diem. He performed with the band until 2002. From 2008 until 2012 he was the lead singer of the band Pasager.

Before winning the Romanian national final in 2016, he tried to represent his country four times. His band Pasager ended in 15th place with the song Running Out of Time at the 2010 Romanian national selection.  In 2012, he finished in fifth place with the song I Walk Alone. One year later, he finished in 11th place with the song Run Away With Me. After that, he finished in third place with the song Still Alive in the 2015 Romanian national selection.

Finally, in 2016 he won the Romanian national final with his song Moment of Silence. He was set to represent his country in Stockholm. Unfortunately, he was disqualified from the competition because of broadcaster TVR’s failure to pay their debt to EBU.
