History
2024–2025: Building the Band
In 2024, Landon Boyce, Malik Heard, Shade Jenifer and Bradley Rittmann all individually auditioned for a place in a band on the Netflix competition series Building the Band. The series featured 50 contestants competing to become members of bands and involved contestants "liking" who they would like to connect with.[2] By episode 3, the four had bonded and formed a band.[3]
The group individually rehearsed for a performance of "Finesse" by Bruno Mars; their performance of the song marked the first time the members were meeting. After coming up with the name Soulidified, they progressed through the competition, they sang Usher's "U Remind Me" for their first performance after the booths, with their performances including Miguel's "Sure Thing", Tevin Campbell's "Can We Talk", SZA's "Saturn" and NSYNC's Bye Bye Bye. They reprised their "U Remind Me" performance for Netflix Summer Break, a promotional vehicle for participants of other Netflix shows broadcast seven episodes in. Other bands from Building the Band also performed.[4]
