History
Citi Zēni formed in March 2020 at a songwriting camp outside of Riga.[2]
In 2021, the band released their debut album Suņi Iziet Ielās, which translates to Dogs Take To The Streets in English.[citation needed]
In 2022, the band announced their bid for Supernova 2022, with the release of their new single "Eat Your Salad".[3] The band qualified for the final and went on to win it on 12 February 2022. As a result, they represented Latvia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 and failed to qualify for the grand final. The band confirmed their return to Supernova in 2025 with their song "RAMTAI" and new member Toms Kursītis, who replaced Roberts Memmēns.
