Day 26 is a all male, R&B/Pop boy band signed to Bad Boy Records. The group was formed on the fourth series of MTV's Making The Band.
In 2007, producer/rapper "Sean "Diddy" Combs" returned with Making the Band 4, this time searching along with Michael Bivins (artist development), Bryan-Michael Cox, Slam, Ankh Ra (vocal coach) and Laurie Ann Gibson/Jamal (choreographer) for the next male super group.
The first season began on June 18, 2007 and the band was finally made live on August 26, 2007. The group consists of Robert Curry (MI), Willie Taylor (IL), Brian Andrews (TX), Michael McCluney (SC), and Qwanell Mosley (NY).
During the start of the second season, it was announced that their name would be Day26 - because it was on the 26th day of August that they were formed, the date of their album release, and subsequently the day that "changed their lives".
