Already creating a massive buzz with DJ’s in the clubs, on the streets, and on the Internet; Universal/Motown recording artist Mika Means and The Girls Club are becoming female phenomena! Mika Means’ single Spend Ya Money is currently spinning in heavy rotation across the nation and earning major airplay on radio daily. In addition to being a solo artist, Mika is one third of The Girls Club – comprised of Mika Means, D. Woods, and Shanell aka SNL. As a collective, The Girls Club has gained international attention for their version of Swagger Like Us. Most recently, mention of their song has surfaced on infamous New York’s Hot 97 radio personality Miss Info’s blog site.
