Ogene (/oʊˈdʒiːn/ oh-JEEN; stylised as OG3NE until 2024), formerly known as Lisa, Amy & Shelley, is a Dutch three-piece vocal group made up of sisters Lisa, Amy and Shelley Vol. The group first rose to prominence representing the Netherlands in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "Adem in, adem uit". In 2014, they won the fifth season of The Voice of Holland, becoming the first trio to win any international edition of The Voice. Ogene later returned to the Eurovision stage as the Dutch entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 with the song "Lights and Shadows", reaching the final and finishing in eleventh place.
Lisa Roxanne Vol was born on (1994-06-21)21 June 1994, while twins Amy Talitha Vol and Shelley Celine Vol were born on (1995-10-18)18 October 1995. The sisters were born in Dordrecht, South Holland, and grew up in Fijnaart, North Brabant. Their father is music producer Rick Vol, who has also written songs for his daughters. They are the cousins of former Why Don't We member Corbyn Besson.
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. They went on to represent the Netherlands at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Rotterdam, where they placed eleventh out of seventeen. The following year, they released an album titled 300% and later released another album titled Sweet 16 in 2011.
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.
