Maurizio Lobina
Maurizio Lobina was born in Asti, Piedmont (Italy) on October 30, 1973. He is well-known for being the keyboardist of the band Eiffel 65, an Italian group who hit big in 1999 with the release of the mega-hit "Blue (Da Ba Dee)." The song was soon followed by releases of "Move Your Body" and "Too Much of Heaven." Lobina is responsible for the single "Blue," because it was him who created the song's melodies on a keyboard and instructed band vocalist Jeffrey Jey to "come up with strange lyrics" to accompany his piano riff [1]. The group's first album Europop (featuring "Blue") was released in November 1999.
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." [2]
He also has a younger brother, Luca.
