Maurizio De Jorio (born September 24, 1968) is an Italian music producer and singer, born in Trento, Italy. He became involved in mainstream musical production in the mid-1980s.

Like most musicians in the Eurobeat genre, De Jorio has performed under a number of pseudonyms for various labels (including Delta, and SinclaireStyle). He is most well known for being one part of the Eurodance group Max Coveri, alongside Edoardo Arlenghi, Mauro Farina, Corrado Baretta, Bratt Sinclaire, and Pamela Prandoni, producing hit tracks such as "Running in the 90s" and "Night of Fire". Both are featured in the anime Initial D – of which both appearances (among other songs featured in the anime) has garnered incredible popularity for De Jorio and the eurobeat genre in general. Some of the other songs used in Initial D are: "Speedy Speed Boy", "Stop Your Self Control" (as 'Marko Polo'), "Golden Age", "Running in the 90s" (as 'Max Coveri'), "Take Me to the Top", (as 'D. Essex') and "No One Sleep In Tokyo (with Fernando Bonini as 'Edo Boys')".

De Jorio's musical origins starts with his single "In A New World" (as Tom Maurice) in 1987 at Out Records, then in 1991, Gino Caria had taken him to Polydor Records and signed him to the record, beginning his Eurobeat career. His first song that he lended his vocals to was "Love & Celebration" by David Essex. in 1992, he had started working with Andrea Leonardi (Bratt Sinclaire), who was currently freelancing for the label. He split from Polydor Records later in the mid 1990s to join Sinclaire and his newly co-founded Eurobeat label, Delta Music Industry, which was also co-founded by Laurent Schruster Gelmetti (Laurent Newfield) and Clara Elena Moroni, who had both worked at Time Records. De Jorio had worked with Newfield and Moroni for a good number of songs, which in 2019, were released on the Delta Ultimate Collection and Bratt Sinclaire Eurobeat Style album compilations. Currently, De Jorio performs only under his alias Dejo for Bratt Sinclaire's label, SinclaireStyle.

De Jorio joined Max Coveri in 1996, replacing Massimo Maglione before he adopted the drag queen alias Billy More.[1]
