Tom Boxer (born Cosmin Simionică on 6 January 1977 in Craiova) is a Romanian musician, disc jockey and record producer. He released his debut studio album Zamorena in 2008, spawning the single "Brasil" in collaboration with Anca Parghel and Fly Project, which topped the Romanian Top 100. Success followed with "Morena" (2009) featuring Antonia, reaching number two in Romania and the top ten in several other countries. The single was promoted by a controversial music video featuring lesbian scenes.
