Florin Moldovan (born on April 25, 1977 in Sighişoara, Romania), professionally known as Naomi or Naomy is a Romanian recording artist, songwriter and actress. She came to native attention when entering the Romanian preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 with her song "Dacă tu iubeşti", where she finished in 10th place, scoring 3 points. Moldovan has won the most awards at inter-county and national festivals of light music in Romania, holding a national record of 75 awards in 103 appearances, confirmed by Radio România Actualități in 1998 by Andrei Titus.
Early life[edit]
Moldovan was born as a male on April 25, 1977 in Sighişoara, Romania and grew up in an orphanage located in Ludus until he was 15 years old, where he also graduated from secondary study. Moldovan is a gypsy.[2] 3 days after his birth, he was abandoned in a groove.[3] He showed special interest in music from a very young age. Subsequently, he moved away from Ludus to Targu Mures and participated in a preselection enrollment for the Scoala Populara De Arta school in the singing section, where he passed the practical exam with the grade 10. Following this, he studied at that school for two consecutive years. In 1992, Moldovan moved to Bucharest, where he attended the Scoli Populare de Arta school (light music singing section) and the Palatul National Al Copiilor school.
Years later, Moldovan started to occur as a woman, with him also stating that although born man, he felt completely woman starting with the age of 7.[3]
Career[edit]
In 2014, Moldovan attented the Romanian preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 with her song, "Dacă tu iubeşti", which was written by Rareş Borcea and composed by Jimi Laco.[4] The track placed in 10th place out of 12, scoring 3 points.[5] The next year, she aroused controversy by not passing the national preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015, reportedly because frequent collaborator Mădălin Voicu was unlike last year not part of the preselection's jury.[6] In late 2015, Moldovan announced through her Facebook account that she would send two tracks he already finished, "What's Going On" and "Să-ți spun ce simt pentru noi", to the Italian, Swiss, Norwegian and Swedish preselection shows for the Eurovision Song Contest 2016.[7][8][9] "Să-ți spun ce simt pentru noi" was written by Moldovan herself, while production was handled by Marius Constantin.[8]

In February 2015, Moldovan attempted suicide by swallowing painkiller pills. Shortly after the incident, she expressed when interviewed by Romanian newspaper, Cancan: "I cried all night and I could not sleep at all. I was like a small child. Alone, it's hard to manage my emotions and grief, so I swallowed painkiller pills. I'm lucky to still be alive. I know I could die last night. I'm super confused. If power will still remain, I'll decide these days if I would finish with my life, so no one can further judge me, or if I would continue my life and go on the critics."[14]
