Eiffel 65 is an Italian electronic/eurodance 3-piece group, formed in the late 90’s and best known for their international hit Blue (Da Ba Dee). The name Eiffel was chosen randomly by a computer program and the 65 was scribbled onto their name on a demo by mistake; it was actually part of a phone number.

Gabry Ponte left the group in 2005 to focus on his solo career.

In June 2006, Gianfranco Randone and Maurizio Lobina started a new project under the name Bloom 06.

In 2010, the full lineup reunited as Eiffel 65. Gabry announced he was no longer working with the group in 2016.
