Life
Mitrache was born in Bucharest, Romania. After winning the title of Miss Bucharest, she became a singer, model, and actress. She sings in Romanian, English and Russian. She participated as the international host of the Festival di Sanremo 2004 and of "Stasera pago io revolution" of Fiorello. Her father was an engineer, and her mother is a pediatrician.
Her primary residence is in Bucharest, but she also stays in Rome, Milan, Naples and Bari, Italy.
The meaning of her stage name is Haiduc, an "outlaw" or "of outlawry," e.g., Bulgarian, Serbian or Romanian outlaw-type hero who helps the poor (similar to Robin Hood or Tadas Blinda) or the rebels who fought the Ottomans when they occupied the Balkans for over 400 years (1453-circa 1900). (Plural form: haiducii, hence her stage name.)

I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art.”
