It's My Life by Cezar is the Romanian entry for the 2013 contest.
The song is written by Cristian Faur.

Cezar ( Florin Cezar Ouatu) is a classical singer no stranger to the works of Händel, Bach, Monteverdi and Gluck.
Eurovision is not a complete departure for the internationally acclaimed Romanian countertenor, as
he's currently starring in Cezar "The Voice" - Opera Pop Opera, a crossover mix of classical music with pop and film music supported by a philharmonic orchestra. The show premiers on March 11, just 2 days after the Romanian final.
You can find a short bio on Cezar in English here at Armida

Songwriter Faur is also known for the Romanian entry from 2005: Let My Try by Luminiţa Anghel and Sistem (3rd place)
