CIORNEI ERU GABRIEL Tragu Lapus, Maramures, Romania - RAPPER www.facebook.com/emitrapunderground Ciornei Gabriel Aldin, who records under the mononym E.R.U.(Emitting Rap Underground), is a Romanian recording artist, rapper, songwriter, composer, producer, video editor and sound engineer. A mulit talented individual and a one man band, he masterminds each step from conception of a idea to the finished product to produce distinctive rap music and videos. With hit singles such as ‘Cugetare’ and ‘Sinuciderea sufletului meu’, his music appeals not only to Romanians but others alike. He frequently makes high profile appearances at various events and shows in his native country. He has been greatly inspired by the likes of Chopin and classical music. It has not always been smooth sailing for the Rapper who started his career in 2007. Initially he was mocked and people did not understand him, his music and his message and to add to that he was blinded and had problems with his knees. This drove him to hibernate in his studio for nearly 4 years with his only focus, making music. He used the power of his mind, belief system and self trust to create music that reflected his perspective on life. His future ambition is to spread his music internationally but as he says in his own words, ‘Its not about the destination but more about the journey itself ’. 14
