Radu Marian was born 1977 in the former Soviet Republic of Moldavia. His musical talent was discovered very early and he performed already at the age of seven in Moscow. He finished his studies of piano and singing in Moscow and Bucarest with the title of a Concert Master with merit. He is the rare case of an endocrinological castrato and sounds much more like a treble than like a falsettist.

Radu Marian sings sacred music from the early Baroque to contemporary music, but also lieder of the Romantic period, the range in his first CD is:
c' - c''' (C4 - C6).
