Maurizio Lobina (born 30 October 1973) is well known for being the keyboardist of the band Eiffel 65,[1] an Italian group who hit big in 1999 with the mega-hit "Blue (Da Ba Dee)."[2] The song was soon followed by releases of "Move Your Body" and "Too Much of Heaven." Lobina creating the melodies for the song "Blue" on a keyboard and asked vocalist Jeffrey Jey to "come up with strange lyrics" to accompany his piano riff. The group's first album Europop (featuring "Blue") was released in November 1999.
Born in Asti, Lobina is a former member of the band Vitanova. He left because other members disliked dance music. "In 1991, I met Roberto Molinaro thanks to some girlfriends in common," says Lobina. "he was an aspirant DJ and producer and I was an aspirant musician and producer. As soon as he saw me play the piano he asked me so many times to go with him in a new studio in Torino. I talked with the band but they didn't like dance music; they prefer rock or pop music. Anyway, nobody of them stopped me." [3]
Maury briefly left Bliss Corporation to do military training in 1994, and returned soon after to resume his musical career. In 1998 it was the end of a typical working day at Bliss Corporation, and Maury composed a tune mostly of boredom and asked Bliss Co worker Jeffrey Jey to come up with some strange lyrics to suit the song. Within a few days, 'Blue (Da Ba Dee)' was composed, arranged, produced, recorded and released on vinyl to all Italian stores.
He also has a younger brother, Luca, who takes many pictures for the group's album art.
Maurizio has joined with Jeffrey Jey to form the band Bloom 06.[2]
