Biography

The Roop is a Lithuanian band from Vilnius, existing of three musicians. The band started in 2014.  All band members had their musical careers before, and Vaidotas was a wellknown tv-show host in Lithuania.
 
In november 2014, their debut single “Be mine” was released. A year later, their first album “To whom it may concern was released”, first as a download, a few months later as a CD. A second album followed in 2017, called “Ghosts”.
 
In 2018, The Roop took part in Eurovizios Atrankas, the national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. They became 3rd and released an EP with their entry “Yes, I do” on it.
 
Two years later they won Pabandom iš naujo, the 2020 national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. They were chosen to represent Lithuania in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song “On fire”. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen, due to the cancellation of the contest. The Roop had been offered a place in the final of the 2021 Lithuanian national final, which they easily won with the song “Discoteque”. The group managed to organize a hype around the colour yellow in their country. They became 8th in the Eurovision Song Contest. The song “Disqoteque” was awarded the M.A.M.A. Award for best song and best video of 2021
 
The follow up for their Eurovision song was the song “Ohmygodable”.  In 2022, the group received a prize for best video for that song. Their latest hit is “Love is all we got”.
