background
Millionaires started in the summer of 2007 when sisters Melissa and Allison Green created a song with the GarageBand program. The song was titled I Like Money and the teenagers created the MySpace Millionaires profile to match their song title. Dani Artaud and Melissa met at a party on their high school days and became friends. Dani later joined the band and the trio created their second song called Hoe Down and released an EP called Bling! Bling! Bling! .
After a few months they were sponsored by DJ Hyphy Crunk and they started giving local concerts. They received places in music festivals such as Bamboozle Left 2008 and Audio Overload 2008. In July 2008, they went on their first tour along the west coast with Breathe Carolina . In July 2008 they started their own, the Get f $ cked up tour. In July 2008 they played on MTV in TRL as part of On The Radar , a show that featured bands without a record deal. The girls returned in January and February 2009 with their Just Got Paid, Let's Get Laid tour , which sold out every day.
They made a short song called Ooh Uh Huh , which became the theme song for MTV's reality show A Double Shot at Love with the Ikki Twins . Their song Hey Rich Boy was also used as the theme song for MTV's Teen Cribs and the song Alcohol was featured on the soundtrack of the third season of Skins . Her songs I Like Money and I Move It were featured on the MTV show My Life as Liz . Her cover song of Chic's song Le Freak is featured in the MTV film Turn The Beat Around . On June 23, 2009 they released a new EP called Just Got Paid, Let's Get Laid , which is a remake of Bling! Bling! Bling! with two new songs.
An excerpt from her new song Prom Dress was posted on the Popjustice website on December 8, 2009. Her Christmas carol Rated X-Mas was released on December 16, 2009. Millionaires released three brand new songs, Stay the Night , Prom Dress and Microphone, on their MySpace page on March 24, 2010.
