Their songs sound rather African (they often use African insturments, like the conga and djembe). The most remarkable thing about Treble is that half their songs are sung in English and the other half in their own 'Treble-language', which they invented because Djem and Niña didn't speak English at the time.
In September of 2003 they released their first single 'Ramaganana', which (after having performed the song in record stores and live on television) peaked at the number one spot of the Dutch charts in January. Following their highly successful 'No Trouble' tour, they released their debut album ('No Trouble') in May of 2004. At the same time their second single ('Magic / Free as a Bird') was released. Although it wasn't as successful as their first single, it was still a minor hit, peaking at #33 in the Dutch charts. Their third single ('Fragile') didn't chart at all.
Their second album is expected to be released in 2006. They also plan to release it in the rest of Europe.
On March 12th 2006 Treble won the Dutch National Songcontest Finals with 72% of the votes with their song "Amambanda". They performed this song on May 18th 2006 at the semi-final of the Eurovision Songcontest in Athens in which they finished 20th.
