Early life and Background

Maurice Mobetie was raised in Switzerland, growing up in Rheinfelden. He comes from a multicultural background—his heritage includes Italian, French, and Caribbean roots—and he is known to be fluent in six languages.

Career

Mobetie first garnered public attention as the driving force behind the revitalization of the Flamingo nightclub in Zurich. Under his management, the club became known for its vibrant atmosphere and exclusive events. Mobetie has claimed that few in Europe can organize VIP events on the scale he does; his reputation rests on his extensive network and his ability to secure appearances by stars such as Snoop Dogg, P.
