Active between 2007 and 2017, The Millionaires began as a group comprised of some popular Myspace ‘scene kids’ who forged a music career with the help GarageBand. The founding members were Melissa Marie Green, her sister Alison and their friend Dani Artaud. They made unapolagetically trashy music, with songs titled ‘I Like Money’ and ‘Just Got Paid, Let’s Get Laid’, which perfectly captured that era of internet culture.
Their signature sound was controversially explicit lyrics with an unrelenting eletropop backing. As time went on, Dani abandoned the project in 2011, leaving sisters Melissa and Alison Green as the only members in the duo known as Millionaires. The band were then dropped by their UK label JWM Records. They released their most recent single ‘Rich Girls’ in 2017.
