The original Fun Factory made a quick visit in Romania for the second time in 2014, but the first time as the real Fun Factory.
Toni Cottura and Balca are not strangers to this country because they worked with few artists here, but this story is not about their solo careers, is just a story of "Real Fun Factory" who came back, after so many years but more mature, with new forces and ready to party!
Last night the team were invited in Sibiu to celebrate with their fans the New Years Eve, but also to performing the new song entitled Get Crunk.
The news was shared by original vocalist Balca Tozun: Fun Factory Silvester night in Sibiu on Stage,with our new track "Get crunk" ...I wish everybody a wonderful and happy new year...love

Toni Cottura,Balja original vocalist, Steve and Ski are back as Fun Factory The original. But is not that the news, rarely we comments of appreciations from the persons who were involved in dance projects but was not in the case of Fun Factory. Recently Al Walser the one who replace them in 1999 shared amazing message to Fun Factory Seniors :
If you want to give your greetings to Fun Factory Seniors you can do it here
The orginal member's of Fun Factory reunited. Toni Cottura( rapper/producer), Balja (original vocalist)Steve and Ski finnally decide that is the time to join forces again in the project who blow the charts in 90's with funny songs like : Celebration, I wanna be with you, Don't go away, Pain, Take your chance, Prove your love and many others.
That period was a great one because Tv's and radios were not so addicted to mainstream and naked videos, and music was created for listeners to have fun, even now are played and they have the same originality.
Coming back to FF, the team are touring now in Poland , US, and they made also a new track "Hands up" cover after Ottawan.
Let's hope that Tony, Baljia and Steve will stick each other for a long time to bring us more happy tunes from Fun Factory.
By the way is not the genre of music who can control listeners emotions but artists passion and devotion to the project.

Hello Tavi, First of all, thank you for your demand.
Balca how did you start your music career ? I began my career when I was 14 years old, with Toni , Steve and Rod!
Many people knows you as the voice of Fun Factory... does it bother you? No it doesn’t bother me it was my voice and I’m proud of that;) .
Why did you choose to be the "shadow" of this project ? Because of a disagreement we separated, but we were still in a contract, so I had to sing further for FF..
What is your fav track from Fun Factory ?
My fav’s are Pain, Take your chance!
What do you think about dance music industry this days ? You asked about Music industry, hmm... I think eurodance is dead and its getting harder everyday to bring out good music. That’s why I’m not only doing this!
Do you like to collaborate with some dance artists if you do with whom ? I’m always open for projects as long as i can identify myself with it! Why, you wanna work with me?:-)
Future projects ?! I’m doing a lot of other projects yes, but cant talk about it, sorry.
My message to my fans:
THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS KNOWING; THAT MY VOICE WAS THE CRUCIAL FACTOR OF THE WHOLE PROJECT FUN FACTORY!!!AND A BIG THANK U FOR SUPPORTING ME AND THE BAND...

Balca
