[edit] Early life

Pavel Stratan, father of Cleopatra, was in a studio recording a song with 3 years old Cleopatra hanging around. Impulsively, she grabbed a microphone and started singing along with Pavel. Everybody was stunned so they ended up recording the song with Cleopatra performing the lead vocals suggest that as she is younger than Shirley Temple, she should be included in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest talent ever to perform on stage and record her own album.[2][3] In Romania, Moldova, and around the world, there seems to be a growing fan base. Some of her songs have already been translated into English [4] and Spanish.[5] She also found success in Japan.[6][7] La vârsta de trei ani ("At the age of 3") was a double platinum disk in the summer of 2006 for selling more than 150,000 albums in Romania. In December 2006, her father announced that until the next album (possibly in one or two years), she will no longer sing publicly. [8]

As of 2006 December, Cleopatra's biggest hit is the song "Ghiţă".[9]

In 2008, Cleopatra released her second album called 'La Varsta De 5 Ani" with the hit song "Zunea-Zunea". On December 18th, 2008,her brother, Cezar (named by Cleopatra) was born. She also had a concert on the 20th of December before leaving to Chisinau to see her younger brother.
