History
Jeffrey Jey started performing vocals at an Italian nightclub in 1991, which ceased operations by the end of that year. During a vacation in Turin in 1992, he presented a demo tape to a local music store proprietor, who subsequently connected him with Massimo Gabutti, the producer behind Bliss Corporation. Impressed by Jey’s talent, Gabutti invited him to collaborate alongside DJ Roberto Molinaro.
By early 1993, Jey was collaborating with Gabutti, Molinaro, sound engineer Angelica Villella, and Maurizio Lobina at Bliss Corporation. Jey provided vocals for a demo rendition of Patti Smith's "People Have the Power," which reached the top 10 in Italy during the summer of that year.
In 1994, Capuano joined forces with Jey and Molinaro to formally establish Bliss Team. The group released multiple successful singles including "U Take Me Up," "Hold on to Love," and "You Make Me Cry."
Towards the end of 1997, Bliss Corporation opted to dissolve the group in order to focus on other ventures. Following the breakup, Molinaro pursued a career as a DJ, Capuano became a composer and producer, while Jey went on to create the acclaimed Eurodance project Eiffel 65.
