Alexe Marius Andrei aka Bean MC is a Romanian artist, producer and cultural initiator, best known as the founding member of Subcarpați — one of the most influential alternative acts in Eastern Europe.
For over a decade, he has been shaping a distinctive sound that bridges Romanian traditional folklore with contemporary genres such as hip-hop, electronic music and urban culture. His work goes beyond performance, functioning as a cultural translation between generations and social contexts.
Through Subcarpați and various collaborative projects, Bean has built an independent artistic ecosystem rooted in authenticity, community and cultural memory, positioning Romanian heritage within a modern European framework.
