In 2007, they represented the Netherlands at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "Adem in, adem uit" (Breathe in, breathe out). On 19 December 2014, they were announced as the winners of season five of The Voice of Holland, earning a recording contract with EMI.

Life and career

Early career

Lisa Vol was born on 21 June 1994 while twins Amy and Shelley Vol were born on 18 October 1995. The sisters were born in Dordrecht, South Holland but raised in Fijnaart, North Brabant. In 2007, they won Junior Songfestival 2007 with their self-written song "Adem in, adem uit", earning a maximum score of 36 points in the semi-final and final.[1][2] They went on to represent the Netherlands at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Rotterdam, where they placed eleventh out of seventeen.[3] The following year, they released an album titled 300% and later released another album titled Sweet 16 in 2011.

2014–present: The Voice of Holland and breakthrough

After a brief hiatus after the release of their second studio album in 2011, the group was featured in the third episode of the blind auditions of season five of The Voice of Holland under the new name "O'G3NE". They performed Destiny's Child's "Emotion" and had all four judges turn their chairs for them, eventually joining Marco Borsato's team. They were consistent throughout the whole show, eventually going on to win the show, becoming the first group to do so.[4]
