== History ==
In late 1991, the nightclub in which Jeffrey Jey used to sing at closed down for good. Feeling depressed, Jeffrey Jey took a vacation to [[Turin]] in November 1992. He entered a music store and showed the shopkeeper an audio cassette of himself singing at the nightclub. The shopkeeper directed Jey to the sampling aisle of the store and called Massimo Gabutti, producer of the newly founded Bliss Corporation. Soon after, Jey was introduced to Gabutti and Roberto Molinaro at the Bliss Corporation. Gabutti was impressed with Jey's demo tape, and immediately offered him a position at the Bliss Corporation with Molinaro.
In the summer of 1991, Jeffrey Jey, who was studying at university, was invited to sing at an Italian nightclub, which became his summer job for that year. However, before the end of the year, the nightclub was shut down. While on holiday in [[Turin]] a year later, Jey played the owner of a local music shop an audio cassette of himself singing at the nightclub before its closure. The shop owner introduced him to Massimo Gabutti, the producer of the newly founded Bliss Corporation. Gabutti was impressed with Jey's demo cassette and immediately offered him a position at the Bliss Corporation with [[Disc jockey|DJ]] Roberto Molinaro.


Jey accepted and moved into a friend's house about 7 to 8 kilometres away from the studio. He began work at Bliss Corporation in January 1993, alongside Gabutti, Molinaro, sound engineer Angelica Villella, and 18 year old Maurizio Lobina. Two months later, Gabutti told him about a demo that he had been working on, with the other members, and asked him to do the vocals for it. Jey agreed to do it. That track was a cover of Patti Smith's 1988 song "People Have the Power". Gabutti went to Milan to mix Jey's voice with the demo, and when he came back, he told him that it would be a part of the final mix. "People Have the Power" was a big hit in Italy in the summer of 1993, peaking number 7 on the charts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hitparadeitalia.it/hp_yends/hpe1993.htm|title=Hit Parade Italia - Top Annuali Single: 1993|website=www.hitparadeitalia.it|access-date=2018-06-06}}</ref>

In the summer of 1991, Jeffrey Jey, who was studying at university, was invited to sing at an Italian nightclub, which became his summer job for that year. However, before the end of the year, the nightclub was shut down. While on holiday in Turin a year later, Jey played the owner of a local music shop an audio cassette of himself singing at the nightclub before its closure. The shop owner introduced him to Massimo Gabutti, the producer of the newly founded Bliss Corporation. Gabutti was impressed with Jey's demo cassette and immediately offered him a position at the Bliss Corporation with DJ Roberto Molinaro.

In January 1993, Jey moved into a friend's house and began working at Bliss Corporation alongside Gabutti, Molinaro, sound engineer Angelica Villella, and 18-year-old Maurizio Lobina. Two months later, Gabutti told him about a demo that they had been working on and asked him to do the vocals for it, which Jey agreed to. The track was a cover of Patti Smith's 1988 song "People Have the Power". Gabutti went to Milan to mix Jey's voice with the demo, and when he came back, he told Jey that it would be a part of the final mix. Their rendition of "People Have the Power" was a big hit in Italy in the summer of 1993, peaking at number 7 on the charts.[1][2]

The following year, Domenico Capuano, Jeffrey Jey and Roberto Molinaro formed a group called Bliss Team. They made several hits, including "U Take Me Up", "Hold on to Love", "Love Is Forever" and "You Make Me Cry".

By the end of 1997, Bliss Corporation wanted the band to split so they could start other projects. Following the split, Molinaro became a successful DJ, Capuano became a successful composer and producer, and Jeffrey Jey formed the Eurodance group Eiffel 65.
