2 Fabiola biography

In 1988 Patrick Claesen, aka Pat Krimson was hired as promotion boy at Antler-Subway Records in Aarschot, Belgium. At that time nobody could have dreamed that this man from Limburg would become one of the driving forces behind this company. He set up a successful record label called Dance Opera and founded the popular Flemish band Leopold 3. Patrick wanted to get his share of the dance hype and therefore began to produce dance products on his own label. One of these products was The Milky Way, the first production under the name of 2 FABIOLA (another tribute to the Belgian royal family). Second single was Kunta Kinte, featuring Blackanova, followed by My Attitude featuring Johnny Kelvin. It was not until 2 years later that another record of 2 Fabiola was released, Play This Song. This extremely catchy dance track soon turned out to be a mega formula for their success on the Spanish and Italian music market. The results were 4 weeks #1 and for about 6 months a ranking in the official Spanish top 10. This Mega formula didn't pass unnoticed in the Italian charts either: #15 in the official Italian charts.

Meanwhile, 2 Fabiola came to be a real band, gradually conquering the European continent with its extravagant looks and strong live-act. 2 Fabiola wanted to be extravagant in different ways : the way they dressed, they way they talked, the way they acted. They didn't want to shock anyone, they just wanted to be different.

The group hired singer and bellydancer Zohra, who performed a nunchako dance on stage, integrated in a beautiful choreography elaborated by herself and the sexy go-go dancer Fabio Ponenté (who stayed with the group until the single Magic Flight).  Apart from this duo, Pat Krimson was on stage too as keyboard man. This trio put on a stunning 40 minutes show, making the audience wildly crazy. Andrès Romero, a well-known Belgian producer/composer/remixer from Spanish origin (who also did some remixes for Twenty 4 Seven), also took part to the creation of many hits.

Singer Carine Boelaerts recorded the early songs in studio, for instance Lift U Up which was made before Zohra became a member of the project. First 2 Fabiola singles were mostly instrumental, so Zohra's first role was mostly to perform choreographies during weekend parties in Spain. This is how rumors spread that Zohra only lipsynced on her voice. Actually, Zohra revealed that she really sung live on stage, with Carine's voice as background at the beginning.

The successor record Lift U Up became a huge success once again in Spain and Italy, and this time the Belgian charts didn't let this second success formula go by unnoticed: 5 weeks number 1, both in the Ultratop 30 and the VTW Super 50. And on the top of that, Lift U Up won an award for best Belgian production. The Golden record resulting from these magnificent sales figures, was presented on Friday, June 21, 1996 at club RIO in St.-Katelijne Waver in Belgium. The band hadn't expected this kind of success.

In October 1996 the band launched a X-mas single, the  ballad Universal Love, for the Belgian market only, and a debut double album were released. The Tyfoon album, including the hits I'm On Fire, Lift U Up, Play This Song and many more, sold gold in Belgium. And while the album was selling like hot cakes, Freak Out, the new single, was being bought on a massive scale too. This up-tempo track with a squelching beat, ecstatic pizzicato tune and summery raga elements is well on its way to become the smashing hit of the spring.

Before Flashback was released, the group decided to make a pause, during which Zorah released her first solo single I Hate 2 Love U. Fabio left the group to concentrate on giving dance lessons. Pat produced some songs like Taboo Bells, My Playground,  and Paranoid In Moscow.

Flashback was a highly futuristic number, somewhere between an authentic underground club record and a hypercommercial radio hit. With a combination of genuine trance sounds, along with melancholic melodies and the vocals, Pat, together with her producer Oliver Adams, was again on the trail of the ultimate number one hit. The choreography and dress, the brand-new Manga look the group has taken on, was yet another of Zohra's achievements.

Afterward they released their single Sisters & Brothers, which was not a big success because they changed their musicstyle to disco, followed by the single Feel The Vibe and the second album Androgyne. Their latest single called Summer In Space and it was featuring Medusa (who is actually Evy Goffin, who later became the leadsinger of the Lasgo project).

In 1999 Pat Krimson started a new project with Nunca, renamed Nunca Brothers in 2001. This same year, the song Es Cubells was released under Pat Krimson's name.

In September 2000 Pat Krimson moved to Ibiza with his girlfriend Ann Vervoort (ex Milk Inc frontlady), which marked the end of 2 Fabiola and Nunca. Pat started a dance record label called Benimusa Records named after the village they were living in.

In 2001, Zohra who had gone solo as Punk City (together with producer Kris Vanderheyden behind the scenes) released her first single The Mission.

2007 : After 7 years of silence, 2 Fabiola were back. Their new single Straigth 2 The Top was released on September 3rd. It did not feature Zohra who was busy with her model, DJ, TV-series actress and TV-presentor carreer, but Katie Michaelson. The single was written by K. Michaelson, S. Lovchyld, Underscore, Pat Krimson and K. Herme, produced by Pat Krimson and Kristof Herme.

2008 : in April, 2 Fabiola were among the artists who took part to the I Love The 90s concert in Hasselt. Pat was on stage with 2 new singers Viola Furleo (who previously contributed to Basheeba and Indiana) and Loredana De Amicis. They sung some of their former hits, but also We Love the 90s, a new song composed for the party, which was released on April 1st along with a videoclip.

The new single Blow Me Away was released on June 23rd with a new video.

2009 : they had planned to release a new album in October this year, but nothing came out. In December, they released digitally a new single entitled Release Your Soul.

2010 : 2 Fabiola's new single was entitled Push It Up. It was released on July 5th. The video, shot in Ibiza, premiered on July 7th. It introduced a new face : Tamara Reynders (a vocalist from Bilzen), who replaced Loredana. The Push It Up tour started on July 17th.

2011 : 2 Fabiola's new single was entitled Don't Stop.

2013 : Pat Krimson announced that he was working on a new 2 Fabiola single, planned for end of May. But nothing came out...

2014 : 2 Fabiola qualified for Eurosong 2014 semi-final to represent Belgium at this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Title of their song was She's After My Piano. It was finally not selected for ESC, but went viral on the web in no time. Videoclip was directed by Tim Strauwen and shot in Circus Rose Marie Malter and premiered end of April. In August, it was certified gold and won Radio 2 Zomerhit 2014. Because of She's After My Piano's success, next single One Night In Dubai was postponed to September.

2015 : follow-up single was announced to be a song entitled House Of Doom, but it was not officially released, just used as an anthem for I Love The 90s concert. Next single was entitled Rock It. They won BEA Music Airplay Award 2014 for their hit She's After My Piano. Then they released Doctor Disco

2016 : 2 Fabiola's new single was called Me & U. Then came album Evolution

2018 : fans had to wait 2 years for a new single, the song Break Away. Then Pat and Loredana, while still touring as 2 Fabiola, focused on their solo carreers.

2022 : their new single after a 4 years pause was entitled Call My Name.
