The trio met while studying together at The Sixth Form College Farnborough, where they bonded over a shared passion for music.[1] Hull had previously performed at the 80th birthday party of Elizabeth II, who joked with her about her lack of shoes and had previously won My Camp Rock in 2009 and performed in The Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables.[2] In addition, Byrne had played Miss Honey in Matilda and Steele had played Jane Banks in Mary Poppins.[2] At the time they formed in 2013, they were known as Houston;[3] they changed their name in 2018 to Remember Monday,[4] as they had free periods that day and could sing together.[5]
Remember Monday appeared together on the 2019 run of The Voice UK, where they auditioned with "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal. All four judges turned including three men and Jennifer Hudson;[6] the band opted to be mentored by Hudson partly because she was the only woman on the panel and partly because she threw a shoe at them,[7] a practice she considered complimentary.[8] The band subsequently beat Kieron Smith during the Battle round with Phillip Phillips's "Home",[9] though a performance of their own track "Jailbreaker" during the Knockout stages meant they left the competition.[10] The band left their jobs in September 2023 to pursue music full time, with Steele giving up the deputy headship at the performing arts school Artemis College.[2]
