Balan was born on 6 February 1979 in Chișinău, to Mihai Balan, a diplomat who was Ambassador of the Republic of Moldova to Israel and now works as the Head of Information and Security Service of the Republic of Moldova, and Ludmila Balan, a popular TV presenter.

After following their wishes for a short time, he eventually left law school to play with his first band Inferialis, a gothic doom metal band.
I see....
Lips are fighting
Clothes are falling
Are falling...are falling.
I see....
Hearts are fighting
We keep on falling
On falling...on falling.
Listen...
This is the sound of love
When human nature
Feels that sound
We tear it down
Then justify....
Would it be
Would it be.
We keep on falling....
Can't ignore your craving..... x2
I see....
Eyes are lying
Clothes are falling
Are falling...are falling.
I see...
Hearts are trying
But keep on falling
On falling...on falling.
Listen...
This is the sound of love
When human nature
Feels that sound
We tear it down
