Career

In 2007, they won the Junior Songfestival with their self-written song \"Adem in, adem uit\", earning a maximum score of 36 points in the semi-final and final.

2014–2016: The Voice of Holland and breakthrough

After a three-year hiatus following the release of their second studio album, the group revamped their artistic identity and participated in the blind auditions of season five of The Voice of Holland. The group's new name, Ogene (initially stylised as O'G3NE), was chosen as a reference to their mother's blood type and their shared genes. They performed \"Emotion\" and had all four judges turn their chairs for them, eventually joining Marco Borsato's team. They went on to win the competition, becoming the first group to do so. \n
