Academic Training and Artistic Excellence

She graduated from the Dinu Lipatti National College of Arts in Bucharest, where she was admitted first on the list, continuing her studies at the National University of Music in Bucharest, specializing in Music Pedagogy – Academic Choir Conducting, where she also obtained the first position upon admission. She completed her university education with a master's degree in Interpretive Stylistics – Classical Singing, deepening her knowledge of vocal performance art and the particularities of the lyrical repertoire.

Her artistic education began in childhood, through the study of piano, ballet, and light music, disciplines that shaped her stage sensitivity, professional rigor, and stylistic versatility. She also graduated from the Popular Art School, specializing in light music, complementing her classical training by delving into the specific techniques of modern vocal performance.

With over 400 awards obtained at national and international competitions and distinctions granted by, among others, the embassies of Turkey and Ukraine, Stephanie Radu affirmed her talent from the early years of her artistic development.

She has represented Romania in over 30 countries, participating in projects that have consolidated her international artistic experience.

One of her first international experiences was participating in the "The Magic Music Days" festival at Disneyland Paris, an event that marked the beginning of an artistic journey beyond Romania's borders.

She also performed in Istanbul, as part of a tribute show dedicated to the legendary soprano Leyla Gencer, participating as a soprano in the choral ensemble.

In March 2018, she debuted at the Bucharest National Opera, performing the role of Papagena in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute," within the Experimental Studio "Ludovic Spiess."

Her stage experience includes participation in concerts with the prestigious Johann Strauss Ensemble, under the baton of conductor Russell McGregor, in performances held at the Bucharest National Opera and the Buzău Sports Hall.

A special moment in her career was her participation in a cinematic musical project produced in Romania, alongside international soloists from the original cast of "Hans Zimmer – Live in Concert." The collaboration with artists involved in major Hollywood film productions offered her the opportunity to integrate the sonority and expressiveness of the classical voice into the spectacular universe of film music.

"VISUL" – An Artistic Manifesto and a Landmark Project

On September 7, 2024, Stephanie Radu launched the original show "Visul" at Sala Dalles in Bucharest, presented as Romania's first ONE WOMAN SHOW conceived entirely by an artist, from music and text to scenography, direction, graphics, and choreography.

More than a show, "Visul" represents an artistic statement about identity, courage, vulnerability, and the strength to transform one's own experiences into a form of universal expression.

Through this project, Stephanie Radu simultaneously assumed the roles of performer, author, director, and creator of the entire stage universe, demonstrating a vision that transcends the conventional boundaries of musical performance.

In March 2025, the project was presented in a national tour of ten shows in ten cities, beginning with an artistic marathon of seven performances in seven consecutive days.

The tour included Bucharest, Târgoviște, Giurgiu, Sinaia, Buzău, Ploiești, Cluj-Napoca, Iași, Galați, and Constanța, confirming the artist's ability to build and sustain complex projects, where creative involvement is doubled by remarkable professional and organizational discipline.

One of the most important moments of her international career occurred in December 2024, when the original composition "Regalo di Natale" was selected among the four winning creations worldwide in an international musical creation competition organized for His Holiness Pope Francis, at the Vatican.

In the same competition, Stephanie Radu received the Award for Vocal Technical Mastery, a distinction that recognized her interpretive qualities, virtuosity, and artistic expressiveness.

In December 2025, the artist returned to Rome to participate in the famous "Concerto di Natale," one of the most prestigious international musical events dedicated to the winter holidays.

Throughout its history, the event has brought together renowned names from the world music scene, including Andrea Bocelli, José Carreras, Sarah Brightman, Lucio Dalla, Laura Pausini, Lionel Richie, Tom Jones, B.B. King, Josh Groban, Michael Bolton, and Gheorghe Zamfir.

On December 13, 2025, her original creation "Regalo di Natale" resonated on the stage of Auditorium della Conciliazione in Rome, in an event of international scope, later broadcast on December 25, 2025, by the Italian channel Canale 5.

On this occasion, Stephanie Radu also participated in an audience with His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (Robert Francis Prevost), a moment of profound personal and spiritual significance.

Participation in "Concerto di Natale" represented not only a stage of international consecration but also a confirmation of the artist's ability to convey universal messages of faith, love, hope, and solidarity through music.

In 2026, Stephanie Radu expanded her artistic activity into the fields of cinema and educational entertainment for children, with the launch of LULIA WORLD, an original fantastic universe, conceived and built entirely from her own creative vision.

The artist is the founder and creator of the LULIA WORLD concept, the YouTube channel of the same name, and the original film "LULIA WORLD," a project that combines story, music, animation, dramaturgy, visual expression, and emotional education into a cinematic experience dedicated to childhood.

Stephanie Radu conceived and fully developed the creative component of the film: the original idea, the artistic concept, the narrative universe, the story, the characters, the visual identity, the dramaturgical structure, and the artistic and cinematic direction. From the first outlines of the story to its translation into images, each element was conceived as part of a coherent universe with its own personality and a recognizable visual language.

The film "LULIA WORLD" premiered at Happy Cinema Buzău on October 17 and 18, 2026, marking the cinematic realization of an original concept developed from scratch.

With a duration of approximately 40–45 minutes, the production was conceived as an experience for children and families, complemented by the audience's meeting with the characters of the LULIA WORLD universe.

In parallel, Stephanie Radu created the YouTube channel LULIA WORLD, a digital platform dedicated to this concept, intended to extend the artistic experience beyond the cinema hall and offer a space for permanent interaction between children, characters, and stories.

A special place in her creative activity is occupied by "Crăciunul lui Nicholas," an original artistic project that, over its editions, has become one of the artist's landmark concepts in the field of shows dedicated to family and winter holidays.

Built around the universe of childhood and family values, the project combines music, theater, storytelling, and visual spectacle into a stage experience dedicated to audiences of all ages.

In 2026, Stephanie Radu also developed the cinematic dimension of the concept, by creating an original animated feature film "Crăciunul lui Nicholas," currently in development.

The artist is the author of the concept and the narrative universe, building a fantastic story in which a little boy embarks on an extraordinary adventure to rediscover the meaning of Christmas and to repair the Clock of the First Christmas, upon whose existence the very magic of the holiday depends.

The film brings together original fantastic characters, imaginary worlds, and a story about memory, family, hope, and the power of love, continuing the artist's concern for creating cinematic productions with a distinct visual identity and emotional content.

By developing this project, Stephanie Radu consolidates her interest in animation cinema and in creating original productions for children, where music and story become fundamental elements of the artistic experience.

Beyond her stage and creative activities, Stephanie Radu places fundamental importance on education, considering artistic training to be one of the most profound ways to cultivate sensitivity, discipline, and self-confidence.

As a vocal coach at MiAkademie in Bucharest, the artist works with students in three musical directions: light music, classical singing, and folklore, leveraging her academic and stage experience in a pedagogical method adapted to the particularities of each voice.

Her multidisciplinary training allows her to address both the demands of lyrical performance and the particularities of modern vocal music and the traditional Romanian repertoire.

Stephanie Radu believes that a voice should not only be technically trained but also discovered, understood, and cultivated in harmony with the personality of its owner.

In her pedagogical work, she focuses on developing vocal technique, breathing,
