Marcus Mumford, who is the frontman of the band, attended King's college school in Wimbledon and it was there he first met fellow band member Bet Lovett.

Mumford & Sons have won several music awards throughout their music career, and the live performance of the band at the 2011 Grammy ceremony with Bob Dylan and The Avett Brothers helped the band gain a lot of popularity in the US.
