At the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards, the duo received the award for Best Romanian Act. As a soloist, Moga released his debut single, "Pe barba mea", in May 2014, which reached number one on the Airplay 100 chart. Throughout his career, Moga has written for numerous mainstream Romanian acts such as Akcent, Andreea Bălan, Anna Lesko and Paula Seling.
