Hotel FM is a Romanian band formed in April 2005 by British expatriate David Bryan and his friends Gabriel Băruţa and Alex Szűz. The band have performed in several cities in Romania and Germany and launched a promotional CD in spring 2006.
They have always balanced the band’s activity with exciting side-projects: David recorded Shakespeare’s Sonnets on the music of Florian Chelu Madeva (Rock Filarmonica Oradea) and plays with the only Pink Floyd tribute band in Romania, “Speak Floyd” and Gabriel writes song for talented children and has won many national and international songwriting competitions. As a producer, he has worked with artists from many different genres, from rock to pop, hip-hop and even house. He also opened a brand new studio in Bucharest.
They first attempted to represent their home country at the Contest in 2010 but finished in 4th place in the national finals. They returned a year later, winning the right to represent their homeland and successfully qualified for the final where they finished in 17th place overall.
