Monkey to Millionaire is an alternative band that comes from Jakarta’s underground scene. They were formed in the year of 2004. Started as an Junior High band. These four guys Wisnu (vocal, guitar) , Manos (guitar, backing vocal), Agan (bass), Emir (drum) called their band with the name Lucca. After covering Weezer’s and Nirvana’s songs for a while, they started to wrote their own songs and played them everytime they had gigs.
Nine years later, they started to have a commitment and becoming seriously with the band and they decide to changed their name from Lucca into Monkey to Millionaire. The name Monkey to Millionaire itself means pretty much like "from zero to hero", only with a different sentence. It’s some kind of a phrase, such as " if a monkey could be a millionaire, than it should be an easy task for a human”. It’s the intentions that’s count.
Grown up in the early of the 90’s, the band member itself always surrounded themselves with a lot of sounds from an alternative bands such as Weezer, Nirvana, Ash, and Sleeper..Make their songs sounds pretty much like the band they’ve grown up with. Although Wisnu the lead singer always said that " We’ve never had an intended to wrote a songs that’s similar as Weezer’s or Nirvana’s songs, all we ever did was just wrote a lyrics, play the music, arrange it, and see how it sounds like. "It’s just came out! That’s it! "
