Anything But Monday is an American female Pop/R&B singing girl group. Original members of the band were originally recruited in 2004 and 2005 by music executive Stephen Stone for Platinum Island Branded Entertainment (a division of Grammy award-winning Ruffhouse Entertainment).
The group was formed in order to participate to Stone's international reality-drama TV series 30 Days Til I'm Famous. The docu-soap reality-show, which was first shot in Costa Rica in 2006 in both English and Spanish, follows the journey of three musical groups (including Anything But Monday) as they seek to achieve superstardom.
Stephen Stone started by recruiting for his group Argentinian singer Angie Monasterio and former Dreamworks recording artist Canela Cox in late 2004. They were soon joined by Australian R&B singer Leesah Jaye and South-African singers Genna Cloud and Candice Pillay, who would leave short thereafter, being replaced by former Sony recording pop singer Nayer Regalado.
The show, expected to be host by Fat Joe, was expected to be delivered for primetime on Fox TV in winter 2006, but due to business reasons, the show had been pushed back numerous times. In instance, members of the groups were concentrating on solo projects until Stephen Stone changed the concept of the show and decided to change the line-up to Anything But Monday too. Only Nayer stayed in the new line-up. New members added to the group are Porscha Parker, Katrina Tandy, Samanda Vasquez and Atussa.
The group is signed to Universal. They announced "Buckwild" to be their debut single.
