In 1992, Les Respectables won first place in a competition run by Montreal radio station, CHOM-FM, and the band also reached the grand final of Yamaha Music's "Sunfest" held in Gimli, Manitoba, Canada.

With a half smile, they describe their music as “calypso-rock” with touches of reggae and rhythm’n blues.

Mel later agreed that it probably helped her move into the music industry. Mel originally recorded solo demos in 1985 but soon Kim joined her and their entrance happened in a rather unusual way. Kim recalled, “We’d sent off a tape to one of the record companies but
