Sidonia Doica is a Romanian actress and musician, who graduated from East 15 Drama School, BA Acting and Contemporary Theatre, in 2018. She’s been a freelancer ever since, working of various projects. The last project she’s been working on is the musical “Next to Normal”, a CREAS production in association with the National Operetta and Musical Theatre Ion Dacian, in which she plays Natalie.
During her studies, she started to devise her own plays, “Maria-Ioana”, which at the moment is a work-in-progress and a one-woman show called “Lollipops”. She wrote the scripts and the music for both of them.

Rosta Man ( real name Rosta Matocha ) born in 1972 in Czech Republic. First time I touched the guitar when I was student at at the Military High School in Opava . With the original song " Why so many guns" I won the army music&art competition "ASUT" . When I became a professional squash player and then later on a coach, I forgot the guitar somewhere and found it again in 2013, when I moved to Romania. Since then, I have been playing mostly blues and soul/jazz music, sharing the stage with great musicians like Sian Brie ( Romanian jazz guitar player) or Matej Ptaszek ( Czech blues harp player) . In September 2020 I was asked by Mike Savuica to join with the guitar the amazing Theater act " Daddy Dear" and my performance added new colors and vibes to this amazing Theater.
