History
= 1996–2002: Debut, Eurovision Song Contest, Probudi me & Saten
=All four founding members of E.N.I. were members of the Rijeka-based supergroup Putokazi. In late 1996 the group's first release was a special album where alongside them another new Rijeka-based singer was presented, Putokazi predstavljaju: E.N.I. i Vivien Galetta. A year later, in 1997, the group's first official single "Probudi me" was released. At the 1997 edition of Dora, the country's selection show to choose its Eurovision Song Contest 1997 representative, the song won the contest with 170 points; 9 points ahead of runner-up Petar Grašo. Performing in Dublin at the Eurovision Songs Contest 1997, E.N.I. came 17th with a total of 24 points. Later the same year, their debut studio album Probudi me was released. Probudi me spawned two additional singles, "Mi možemo sve" and "Ljubav je tu". E.N.I.'s second studio album Saten was released in 1998 through Orfej and spawned three singles, "Ljubav je tu", "Kap po kap" and "You're The One". In 2000, while on a break from recording solo material, the band was featured in several songs such as "Košulja plava" with Šajeta or "Profesor Jakov" with Let 3. In the campaign for 2000 parliamentary elections they, together with many other rock musicians, supported Social Democratic Party of Croatia and other opposition parties. In 2002, another collaboration titled "Treba mi vremena" was released, this time with Rijeka-based rock band En Face.
