About Michael Cretu

Michael Cretu, a Romanian-German musician and producer, is best known as the mastermind behind the musical project Enigma. Born on May 18, 1957, in Bucharest, Romania, Cretu has been influential in the electronic and new-age music genres. He started his career in the 1970s and gained international fame in the 1990s with hits like 'Sadeness (Part I).'

Cretu's music often delves into themes of emotional isolation, deep introspection, and the feeling of life's emptiness. His evocative soundscapes and haunting melodies resonate with listeners who experience or ponder these complex emotions. Recent works continue to explore these profound themes, maintaining his signature style of combining ambient sounds with philosophical undertones.
