Romanian of origin, Elena Mindru met jazz music as a singer at the age of 15, after briefly experiencing the Romanian traditional vocal music. In 2007 she was admitted to Berklee College of Music, Boston, USA, but she couldn't attend this opportunity because of financial reasons. Hence, Elena continued her musical studies at "Gh. Dima" Academy of Music from Cluj-­‐Napoca, majoring in composition.

Now she studies vocal jazz within the Nordic Master of Jazz Program (NOMAZZ) which gives her the chance to study in four different universities and countries: Royal Academy of Music Aarhus, Royal College of Music Stockholm, Sibelius Academy Helsinki and NTNU Trondheim. Her first jazz album, Romanian Winter Stories, will be released in November 2012.
