The band was originally formed through the meeting of Tay James and Bieber in 2009 after James graduated from college. He was hired to become Bieber's DJ. This event was followed by Harv taking on the role of music director in Bieber's live band, which was later filled out by Taylor and Michael. In 2021, We The Band played alongside Bieber during his
NPR Tiny Desk performance. We The Band backed up Bieber on his 2015
Purpose World Tour and his 2022
Justice World Tour. In June 2025, We The Band signed a record deal with
Avex Music Group, announcing that the band's debut album would premiere later in the year. Shortly after signing the deal, the band released its debut single,
One & Only. ==Influences==
