Stoian sings since he was a child; his first contact with music took place at age of four. His father and uncle were well-known lăutari. He debuted in 2002 with help from bandleader Dan Bursuc. His first hit single was “Ce gagică şmecherită” (Romanian: “Such a picky chick”.) He played an important part when the smash hit “Of, viaţa mea” (Romanian: “Oh, my life”) came into existence in 2000, as sung by Adrian Minune and Costi Ioniţă. By the end of year 2002, Florin Stoian changed his stage name from Fermecătoru into Salam (Arabian: “peace”, cf. Hebrew “shalom”.)
In 2008, he performed a song together with pop singer Paula Seling and the Bucharest Symphonic Orchestra. The show host described their performance as a reconciliation between manele and pop music; in the same respect, the song’s lyrics raised the problem of social intolerance.
Florin Stoian is the vice-president of Asociaţia Artiştilor, Muzicanţilor şi Lăutarilor Romi din România (Romanian: “The association of Roma artists, musicians and lăutari from Romania”.) In December 2005, he was announced the the best manele performer of the year 2005. According to the daily paper “Libertatea,” politician Mădălin Voicu and football player Marius Niculae count among his fans.
Florin’s parents are called Maria and Robert Stoian. In September 2007, he married Ştefania Victoria, his first wife according to the Roma law; groomsman was manele singer Adrian Minune. The wedding took place in the Anatolia Resort (Turkey.) The couple gave birth to two children. On April 12th, 2009, Ştefania (aged 27) died from hepatic cirrhosis.
In 2009, Salam took part in the preselection for Eurovision to represent Romania in this years’ edition, which will take place in Oslo, Norway. The artist participated with two pop songs, in English, but failed to pass the jury’s vote.

Zana zanelor
Steaua stelelor
Da zana zanelor
Da steaua stelelor.
Haida haida haida
Haida haida haida
Hai nu ma lasa.
Eu nu vreau ca sa ma lasi
Nu vreau lakrimi pe obraji
Te rog nu fugii de mine
Ca-mi vine lesin de tine.
Zana zanelor
Steaua stelelor
Da zana zanelor
The lyrics of Florin Salam's song Zana Zanelor speaks about a woman who is highly regarded as the queen of all women. She is compared to the stars, the brightest of all. The first verse of the song, "Perkutzie ca la noi nu vezi in toata Romania astaaaaa" translates to "You won't find such a woman like her anywhere in Romania." The performer emphasizes the rarity of the woman's beauty and character. In the chorus, she is addressed as "Zana zanelor" which translates to "Fairy of fairies" and "Steaua stelelor" which means "The star of stars." This further cements her position as the epitome of women.
The second verse is sung by a man who pleads with his wife to stay with him. He implores her not to make him cry and not to leave him. He states that he feels faint at the thought of her leaving him. He reaffirms that her beauty is unmatched and he cannot bear to be without her. The third verse reiterates the comparison of the woman to the stars and emphasizes that her beauty is not ordinary.
Overall, the song speaks of a woman who is valued above all else. She embodies beauty, excellence, and all other desirable qualities. The man who sings to her is in awe of her and cannot bear to be without her.
