Emanuel has two more siblings: an older brother Razvan, who is studying art at high school and a younger sister, currently in kindergarten. His parents are rather poor. The whole family is living in one room. The house doesn’t have essential facilities like running water, a heating system or a toilet. His parents are both working hard and trying to earn money so that they are able to offer more to their family.

Emanuel is very good at mathematics and he likes street dance.
