History edit

 
Logo of Ofenbach

The duo met at school at an early age.[12] When they were 13 years old, Lo's father told them that one of the best experiences of his life was being part of a band. This inspired them to form their first musical group in which they performed rock music.[13] They cite some of their influences as Supertramp, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin.[14]

The name Ofenbach was selected after the duo found a score by French composer Jacques Offenbach at their home.[2]

Ofenbach released their single "Be Mine" alongside an official remix package via Warner Music France/Big Beat, which featured remixes from Agrume, Antiyu, and Stone Van Brooken.[9][14] The song peaked at number one in Russia and Poland.[15] And also, they have performed at 2018 UEFA Europa League Final opening ceremony in Lyon
