3 Dvyne (pronounced "three - divine") is an American R&B girl group. The group's members consist of sisters Que (born Quiana Jyneé Brokenbrough on October 5, 1989) in Frankfurt, Germany, CJ (born Charlene Lyneé Brokenbrough on June 18, 1991) in Albuquerque, New Mexico , and Ness (born Vanessa Ryneé Brokenbrough on December 29, 1993) in North Charleston, South Carolina. They were previously signed to Full Code Records, and their debut album entitled 3 Dvyne (Self-titled) was released and sold from online music stores such as CD Baby, Pay Play , and eMusic. The album was also distributed in selected music stores throughout the United States. The album did not reach Billboard Hot 100 success as hoped for, but they did receive frequent airplay on urban radio stations throughout the Southeastern United States region. The girls eventually left Full Code Records due to lack of royalties, and a contract that was null and void. They are currently working on their new studio album, "R.U.D.E. Awakening" with former MTV's Making the Band contestant, singer, songwriter, and producer Mickey Blue.

[edit] Rise to Fame
The sisters of 3 Dvyne were born to mother Jennifer Hart-Griffin and father Ronald Brokenbrough, who were both employed by the United States Air Force. They were eventually stationed in North Charleston, South Carolina and that is where their talent was discovered by their mother. While bathing together as small children the girls would immitate the harmonies of local gospel group, The Lucas Sisters. As time progressed, the girls all became naturals at harmonizing. Their mother quickly nurtured her daughters' talents by placing them on church programs, as well as church concerts, and talent shows performing under the name The Brokenbrough Sisters. Everytime the girls would perform, they received standing ovations leaving audiences in awe because they were so young, yet so gifted. Quickly, the girls reached local success. After seeing the girls perform, representatives from Full Code Records offered them a record deal. At this time Quiana (15), Charlene (14), and Vanessa (11). Together they worked diligently on their debut project 3 Dvyne (Self-titled), which was released in October 2005. Since then, they have been working on their second studio album, "R.U.D.E. Awakening." Now the girls possess vocal abilities that can rival notable girl groups such as, En Vogue, The Supremes, and Destiny's Child.
