The Resume

    (May 18, 1957- )
    Born near Bucharest, Romania

    Husband and professional partner of Sandra Cretu

Why he might be annoying:

    His initial goal was to become a classical concert pianist.
    The astonishing popularity of his Enigma project ended any hopes of it having an anonymous mystique.
    For his Enigma project, he used the dopey moniker, Curly M.C.
    He collaborated on a remake of Alice Cooper's 'School's Out.'
    He did not appear in his own music videos.
    One element that attracted him and Sandra to each other was their birthday (he was five years older).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He attained a degree in music at the Academy of Music in Frankfurt.
    He met Sandra while he was a backing musician for Arabesque.
    He produced the hymn for the Champions League, a tournament for soccer clubs.
    His Enigma project MCMXC a.D. (1990) managed to stay on the Billboard charts for more than eight consecutive months.
