'''2 Fabiola''' is a [Belgian](/source/Belgians) [electronic dance music](/source/electronic_dance_music) group, formed in 1991 by Pat Krimson (Patrick Claesen) and Zohra.[{{cite web|url=http://www.dancevibes.be/artists/2-fabiola-zohra-pat-krimson-nunca-punk-city/ |title=2 Fabiola - Zohra - Pat Krimson - Nunca - Punk City - DanceVibes |publisher=Dancevibes.be |date= |accessdate=2014-08-09}}] The group got its name from [Queen Fabiola of Belgium](/source/Queen_Fabiola_of_Belgium).
The group was noted[{{cite web|author=Karine Sanche |url=http://www.eurokdj.com/search/eurodb.php?name=2_Fabiola |title=2 Fabiola, biography discography, recent releases, news, featurings of eurotrance group - The Eurodance Encyclopædia |publisher=Eurokdj.com |date= |accessdate=2014-08-09}}] for its lavish and extravagant clothes and performances. It has also made the charts in the Belgian [Ultratop](/source/Ultratop) and had success in [Spain](/source/Spain). In the [Ultratop 50](/source/Ultratop_50) and [Ultratop 50](/source/Ultratop_50), they topped the charts.[{{cite web|url=http://www.ultratop.be/en/showitem.asp?interpret=2+Fabiola&titel=Lift+U+Up&cat=s |title=Ultratop |publisher=Ultratop.be |date= |accessdate=2014-08-09}}]
In 1999, the group took a break. Zohra started a solo career, and Pat Krimson led another project of his, called Nunca. After a while, a new 2 Fabiola was presented to the world, introducing singer [Evi Goffin](/source/Evi_Goffin) (Medusa, [Lasgo](/source/Lasgo)).
After releasing some singles, the group disappeared from the Belgian music scene.[{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/2+Fabiola |title=2 Fabiola Discography at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |date=2002-02-20 |accessdate=2014-08-09}}]
In 2007, Krimson announced the band's comeback,[{{cite web |url=http://firstmusic.web-log.nl/firstmusic/2007/07/2_fabiola_maakt.html |title=Sanoma - Home |publisher=Firstmusic.web-log.nl |date= |accessdate=2014-08-09 |archive-date=2011-08-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110816103520/http://firstmusic.web-log.nl/firstmusic/2007/07/2_fabiola_maakt.html |url-status=dead }}] introducing two new singers. Their last single, "Blow Me Away", was published in July 2008.[{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/2-Fabiola-Blow-Me-Away/release/1414242 |title=2 Fabiola - Blow Me Away (CD) at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |date=2008-07-11 |accessdate=2014-08-09}}]
In 2014 the group had a major hit with "She's After My Piano", after participating in the Belgium national selection for [Eurovision Song Contest 2014](/source/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2014). This song was co-written by Romanian-Norwegian artist [Ovi](/source/Ovidiu_Cern%C4%83u%C8%9Beanu) who, for the second time, participated in the [Eurovision Song Contest 2014](/source/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2014) with duet partner [Paula Seling](/source/Paula_Seling). The two artists recorded their own version of the song for Ovi's album, ''A Bit of Pop Won't Hurt Anyone'', (May 2014 {{proper name|daWorks}}).
