Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox person Paul Mazzolini (born 18 February 1960), known by his stage name Gazebo, is an Italian singer, songwriter, musician and record producer best known for his italo disco music style during the 1980s. His song "I Like Chopin" reached No. 1 in more than 15 countries, and his debut single "Masterpiece" was also an international success.[1]
Early life
Mazzolini was born in Beirut, Lebanon, where his father was working as a diplomat in the Italian embassy. Through his father's work, he later lived in Jordan, Denmark (where he learned English at an American school) and France. He also worked as a guitarist in London for some time.[2] He finished his university study of French literature with a degree in 1983. He chose his stage name 'Gazebo' after the pavillon structure of the same name, because it sounded catchy and this was important for radio DJs at the time.[3]
Career
Mazzolini's debut single, the Italo disco "Masterpiece", was released in 1982; it was a significant commercial success in several countries and peaked at number two on the Italian charts.[4] In 1983 he released "I Like Chopin". It sold 8 million copies worldwide and reached No. 1 of Italian charts along with 15 other countries, among them Germany, Spain and Austria.[5] His single "Lunatic" (1983) also reached Top Ten in several European, Asian and Latin American countries. His work in that period was produced by Pierluigi Giombini with whom he co-wrote the hit "Dolce Vita" for singer Ryan Paris.Шаблон:Citation needed
