Biography

Lasgo is a Belgian trance group. The group formed in 2000 and is composed of Jelle Van Dael as the vocalist, (after Evi Goffin was forced to leave in 2008) and Peter Luts and Jeff Martens as record producers. Peter Luts confirmed (on Belgian radio) in 2008 that Evi Goffin was not returning to the band, after choosing to become a full-time mother. However Goffin later stated that she did not want to leave Lasgo, but had several conflicts with her management. She also mentioned that management tried hiding the truth by saying that she had taken time off for her children. Luts announced at the same time that he was looking for a new vocalist for the band. Together with Belgian TV station JIMtv, he organized a televised search (like Idols) for a new vocalist. The winner of this competition was Jelle van Dael, who is now the band's singer.
