Menya

When the working day is done, Menya just wants to have fun. Coming of age to the sounds of Missy Elliott and the Backstreet Boys, this trio of NYC college kids have two things on the mind- catchy melodies that get stuck in your head for days and making people shake their rumps. Coming from diverse origins in their own right, Menya writes music for people of different ages, races and sexual orientations to sing together as loud as they can. Producer and multi-instrumentalist Good Goose gets the bass thumping, while vocalists Coco Dame and Angie Ripe mix sweet melodies with energetic chanting choruses that could turn even the most uptight face into a smile. Menya's records (completely self recorded, written and produced) have gained them attention by The Guardian, New York Post, Rollingstone.com and tons more. After two EPs and a mixtape, Menya has begun to capture a worldwide audience. As they begin to tour the United States in the Spring of 2010, it's only a matter of time before people in every city on Earth are ready to party with them.
