Room Eleven saw its origins in 2001, when lead singer Janne Schra (born Janneke Maria Ali Schra) posted a note on Utrecht's Music College's message board seeking someone to write songs with.

In August 2004, Tony Roe, Lucas Dols and Maarten Molema joined the group on keyboard, double bass and drums, respectively.

Their debut album, produced by Floris Klinkert and Room Eleven, was called Six White Russians and a Pink Pussycat and was released in June 2006.

In spite of having had five hits, Room Eleven split up in December 2009, announcing on their website that they Schra, Dols, and Roe continued, together with Philippe Lemm, Sietse van Gorkum, and Stef van Es, as a new band, called "Schradinova".

Their first album, India Lima Oscar Victor Echo You, was released in October 2010.
