Constantin Sava (born 3 April 1973 in Buzău), known simply as DJ Sava, is a Romanian electronic musician, DJ and record producer of electronic dance music.[1][2] He started mixing in the early 1990s and eventually became the official resident DJ of a local club called "No Limit".[3] Ten years later, DJ Sava went on a small promotional tour of the Romanian seaside clubs; in 2005 he signed a management contract with a small record label,[4] which promoted his first two singles: "Gone Away" and "Remember".[5][6] In 2007, DJ Sava came to prominence following his debut album Love Drops, which was a commercial success in Romania,[7] spawning two successful singles: "Sunshine" and "The Reason".[8][9]

Since the spring of 2009 Sava has been collaborating with Raluka for a couple of songs which enjoyed immediate success,[10] becoming hits in Romania (they worked together on three singles – "September", "I Like (The Trumpet)" and "Love You").[11][12][13] Shortly after this, as a reward for his musical efforts, he was given the opportunity to perform in the opening of a Tiësto concert which was held in Chișinău, Moldova.[14] DJ Sava has received numerous awards and accolades throughout his career (see below).

Biography

1973–2004: Early life

Constantin Sava was born 3 April 1973 in Buzău,[15] Romania and he began showing interest in music as a child.[1] He started DJing professionally in the early 1990s and eventually worked as a resident DJ for ten years in a local club called No Limit;[2] subsequently Sava went on a small promotional tour of Romanian seaside clubs.[3] His musical activity intensified between 2000 and 2004, when he was given the opportunity to mix music in one of largest clubs in Costineşti.[4]

2005–2008: Career beginnings

Throughout 2005 DJ Sava recorded with Elena Pavel, a teenage Romanian singer. Initially, they made a couple of demo tracks.[5] Shortly afterward, they released a single called "Gone Away",[4] which subsequently helped Sava in signing a small record deal.[16] The following year, Sava was searching for another female singer with whom to record his songs. His second single, which bears the name "Remember",[4] features the voice of Dana Nicula, making her singing debu. The related promotional campaign consisted of a music video.[6]

DJ Sava's debut album, Love Drops, was released in Romania in late 2007.[7] Compiled under the auspices of Cat Music, the record contains the two singles promoted before, but also some new tracks with vocals provided by Connect-R.[17] The album, whose cover was made by Vali Bărbulescu, also contains a series of remixes made by the artist himself.[18] Simultaneously, Sava began promoting a new single called "Sunshine".[19] A collaboration with Connect-R, the song was incorporated in a music video shot in Moldova.[20] The record met favorable reactions from the public and gained high ranks in the Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek and Italian charts.[8] The two artists continued their collaboration in 2008,[21] when a new song called "The Reason" was released and received a video directed by Botea.[4][9][22]

2009–2010: Recent activity

Since the spring of 2009, Sava has been collaborating with the Romanian electronic music singer Raluka in order to record some new tracks.[10] Their single "September" has received favorable reactions from both the public and press.[11][23] In the wake of this success, the two continued their collaboration and after "a few days of producing" a new song was released in Romania.[24] Called "I Like (The Trumpet)", the record was compiled in the studio Rappin On,[25] owned by singer Connect-R, who also recorded some background vocals on the song;[26] the track dominated the speciality rankings in Romania, topping the national chart for eleven consecutive editions in 2010.[12][27][28][29][30][31]

During the same year, DJ Sava continued his promotional campaign in Romania, supporting a series of concerts in some of the best known clubs;[32][33] simultaneously, the musician opened a concert for Tiësto in Chişinău.[14][34] In late 2010 DJ Sava released a new single in collaboration with Raluka and Connect-R, called "Love You".[35][36] The track received positive reviews upon its release and peaked at number six in the Romanian Radio Airplay Chart.[13][37]

Artistry

According to his own statements,[30] DJ Sava's music was heavily influenced by a number of international artists including John Creamer, Tiësto and David Guetta.[4] Commenting upon the release of "I Like (The Trumpet)", the reviewer in the Romanian newspaper Libertatea described the song as having "a fresh sound and a very interesting beat".[38] Other Romanian websites wrote that "[the record] has a unique sound compared to other club music productions" and stated that "ever since the first listening, I Like (The Trumpet) succeeds in imposing itself as a different song as style, which however keeps the same popular club style".[39]
