London-based musician and songwriter Dragos Mostenescu captured the Talent Is Timeless 2025 Blues award with his evocative song God Is Not Home. The track explores the universal feeling of being overlooked by fate, regardless of faith or belief, and resonates deeply with listeners searching for meaning in life’s harder moments.

Dragos’ relationship with music began early, learning piano as a child and falling in love with artists like Queen and Elton John. He first began writing simple songs to entertain his friends—his earliest and most honest critics—and those songs soon found their way into his shows. Over time, he refined his craft, building a more complex approach to composition, and today his music has been featured on radio stations like Phoenix 96.7 FM.

The recognition from Talent Is Timeless has been especially meaningful for Dragos, who moved to the UK nine years ago to start over in the entertainment industry—a move that many thought was daring, even reckless. This award and his growing platform confirm that his leap of faith was worthwhile.

“TITA made me understand that my work is valuable and meaningful,” he shares. “It’s made me keen to continue.”

Among the milestones that have shaped his journey, Dragos points to the moment a film director offered to create music videos for his songs, validating his work in a powerful way. And while doubt is a natural part of his process, he’s learned to lean on the feedback of fellow musicians and friends to guide him forward. His advice to songwriters over 50 is simple yet heartfelt: 

“Don’t lose faith—there’s something on the shelf for everyone.”
