Biography
Born in Asti, Lobina is a former member of the band Vitanova. He left because the 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 service in 1994, and returned soon after to resume his musical career. In 1998 at the end of a typical working day at Bliss Corporation, 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 has a son, for whom he wrote the song "Viaggia Insieme A Me". He also has a younger brother, Luca, who takes many pictures for the group's album art.
Following Eiffel 65's breakup in 2005, Maurizio joined with Jeffrey Jey to form the band Bloom 06.[2] He has since rejoined Eiffel 65.
