But the singer Inna, whose biography consists of both dark and light stripes, did not despair. With a little perseverance, she gave the world the hit "Hot", which became her debut on the stage. New song singer Inna had an unprecedented success and reached the fifth place in the Romanian music top. The second song "Love", released in 2009, surpassed the previous single and was in 4th place.

Just in 2009, the singer Inna received the first award for her songs - as best singer and also, for the best single.

At this time, her first competitors appear. Inna's compatriot Alexandra Stan can also be counted among them. She, like Inna, studied in Konstanz, and climbed musical Olympus at the same time as her. Rumor has it that conflicts arose between the girls more than once. This is not surprising: whenever two beautiful and talented singers, the chances of competition increase. Alexandra Stan herself commented on the situation as follows: “Yes, there are such rumors. What do you want? We are young, talented, and at the same time we have become popular. That's where the rumors started.

But we have nothing to compare. We are completely different in appearance, we have different music. There was no rivalry, and there cannot be, each of us has our own path. I don't envy her in any way! Yes, she is certainly talented, she has achieved a lot. Not every girl from Romania is capable of this. I respect her as a person and I think she has the same opinion about me.” Inna herself does not develop such rumors either: “Well, what kind of competition can there be? We are completely different!” Like it or not, it is not known for certain. In general, Inna diligently hides everything that does not concern her musical career.

Like it or not, we will find out later, but the very fact that Shakira mentioned the name of the singer in her interview gives every reason to think that the information may turn out to be true. The producer of Sony Music also spoke positively about the singer: “Working with Inna is a real pleasure! She is amazing! The time we spent working on the track flew by! I believe that she has a great future and everything will turn out!”

2016 - 2017: Nirvana

The name Inna, translated from Latin means "turbulent stream", "float", "flow, flow", "floating". Previously, judging by Russian traditions, men were called this name, but now it is purely feminine. That was the name of one of the disciples of the Apostle Andrew, a native of Lesser Scythia, a martyr - Inna Novodunsky, Slav. Together with Rimma and Pinna, they were martyred for their faith.

Ina's diminutive address is an appeal to many names. For example, to the name of Agrippina, Antonina, Karina, Ellin, Dahlia, Dina, Zinaida, Inessa, Irina, Marina, Martin, Pinna, Sabina, Faina, Zarina and others. But the full name Inna is not an appeal to the name Inessa.

A woman named Inna is characterized by such qualities as lightness, simplicity, reliability, she seems to radiate light. She is rather a sanguine person, but she does not know how to be assertive, but on the contrary, she is always cheerful and a little frivolous. Inna positions herself as an independent woman who always has her own opinion.

Inna knows how to adapt to changing circumstances. She is not inclined to harbor grudges, and this, as a rule, helps her avoid unnecessary difficulties and problems. Inna is often principled and even stubborn, she always strives to be punctual and will definitely do what she promises or has outlined. She never wastes time, because she does not want to miss anything important and interesting in her life.

Inna is an analyst by turn of mind, therefore she strives to choose a profession that would be to her liking. If Inna realized that she has some abilities, she will develop them, and they will become the meaning of her life. In this case, she may even refuse the opportunity to start a family or have money and comfort. And if, nevertheless, she tries to combine talent and marriage, then close people will fade into the background. The husband will have to take care of all household chores, as well as constantly show Inna how he admires her. She can become an excellent medical worker, journalist, engineer, take her place in the field of trade or become a successful photojournalist. If suddenly Inna becomes interested in some kind of work, then she is able to relatively calmly change her former occupation and completely devote herself to a new one.

Inna is always very attractive. With tenderness and affection refers to men. Priority is given to men who have a good life experience. She is very jealous, and in love relationships she prefers to occupy a dominant position. Married, living family life not for long, and after the divorce, no more will ever become anyone's wife. Inna can become happy only next to an honest and frank man. In the family, she strives to be devoted to her husband and caring towards children. However, when the children grow up, Inna sometimes does not find with them common language. She will never live in the same house as her mother-in-law.

Inna is not prone to manifestations of depression at all. She is a completely independent person who absolutely does not need guidance from the outside. But he will never impose his opinion on others. He tries to show tolerance and condescension to the vices and weaknesses of other people.
