History[edit source | editbeta]

In 2001 The Beautiful Girls formed in Sydney as a roots music group with Mitch Connelly on drums and percussion; Clay MacDonald on bass guitar, backing vocals, xylophone and recorder; and Mat McHugh on lead vocals and lead guitar. Previously McHugh had travelled to New York to pursue a music career, he returned to Sydney to record some demos where he founded the band.[1] McHugh choose the name to counter the "macho posturing and the associated tough-guy band names. And a beautiful girl was just about the sweetest, most appropriate opposite I could think of".[2] In March 2002 The Beautiful Girls issued their debut eight-track extended play, Morning Sun on a self-funded independent label, which was distributed by MGM Distribution.[3] The track "Periscopes" received airplay on national radio station, Triple J.[1][4] McHugh explained why they chose not to sign with any major label, "It's the way we've always been as a band and the way I've always wanted to do things. I like artists and musicians who I get the vibe of where they’re coming from and an understanding of what kinda person they are. For me it's just a way of conversing back and forth with people".[4] In November 2002, a second EP, Goodtimes, was issued with five tracks.
On 22 September 2003, the group released their debut studio album, Learn Yourself, which was co-produced by McHugh with Ian Pritchett.[5][6] United States pop-rocker, Mason Jennings, provided lead vocals on a track, "Freedom (Part 2)", and former Soul Asylum drummer, Ian Mussington, provided percussion on two tracks.[5]
In 2004 The Beautiful Girls toured Japan, Canada and the US.[7] In January 2005, they released a four-track EP, Weight of the World, where the title track was a "rollicking, dance hall tune, featuring, wails of melodica and a tinge of hip hop, [it] has already been added to rotation on JJJ".[7] On their Australian tour promoting the release they were joined by Brazilian, Felipe Kmiecik on harmonica.[7] On 4 July that year, with Kimieck aboard on melodica, harmonica and keyboards the band recorded their second album, We're Already Gone,[8] which peaked at No. 19 on the ARIA Albums Chart.[9] It was produced by McHugh and Pritchett on The Beautiful Girls' own label, San Dumo Records, and distributed by MGM.[8][10] The special edition of We're Already Gone includes a four-track DVD, 'Legged, with live video footage and film clips.[8] The album features guest vocals by Julia Stone (of Angus & Julia Stone).[11] In October 2006 the group issued a compilation album, Water.[12]
By 2007 Connelly, Kmiecik and MacDonald had departed – Connelly subsequently worked on Angus & Julia Stone's albums and EPs, and Julia Stone's solo album.[13] MacDonald also worked for Angus & Julia Stone and later formed a rock, punk group, Valley Floor.[14] In 2009 Kmiecik, as Felipe Harp, issued a solo EP, Back on the Road. The Beautiful Girls continued with McHugh now on lead vocals, lead guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, melodica and percussion – he was joined by Pritchett on bass guitar, backing vocals, guitar, keyboards and percussion, and Bruce Braybrooke (ex-Frenzal Rhomb, The Fantastic Leslie) on drums, percussion and vocals.[15] On 14 May 2007 the group issued their third album, Ziggurats, on Die!Boredom Records with McHugh and Pritchett co-producing.[15] The album peaked at No. 21 on the Australian albums chart.[9] It spawned the single, "I Thought About You", which peaked at No. 60 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[16] The Sydney Morning Herald felt the group's "sound is punchier and more angular. Lyrically, McHugh has drifted away from the personal politics of relationships to a wider political outlook. The album, in particular the stand-out 'I Thought About You', are a convincing departure from the 'roots' scene".[17]
At the APRA Music Awards of 2008, "I Thought About You" – written by McHugh – was nominated for 'Blues & Roots Work of the Year'.[17] By 2008, The Beautiful Girls had toured Japan, Europe (including UK), Brazil, US and Canada.[17] McHugh launched his solo career, however late in 2008 a motorcycle accident in Los Angeles hospitalised McHugh and delayed the release of his album, Seperatista!.[18] By 2010 The Beautiful Girls had toured the world twelve times and their total album sales reached 285,000.[19]
On 25 May 2010, The Beautiful Girls with the line-up of McHugh and Braybrooke joined by Paulie Bromley on bass guitar, issued their fourth album, Spooks.[20][21] It peaked at No. 18 on the ARIA Albums Chart,[9] and debuted at No. 1 on the Australian Independent Chart.[19] In June that year it reached No. 7 on the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart.[22] In September, a US tour was interrupted when McHugh was diagnosed with a ruptured appendix.[23] In April 2012 McHugh's second solo album, Love Come Save Me, was released on his website as a free download.[24]
By late 2012, McHugh established a new band name, Mat. McHugh and the seperatista soundsystem, which first toured in January 2013.[25][26]

Oh Em Gee! Who brought the fun back to music? The OMG GIRLZ, of course! The only thing you’ll be thinking when you hear the OMG GIRLZ sing or see them painting your city pink, purple and blue is “could these girlz be the next big thing?” Destined for stardom, the new teenage girl group, made up of the talented, totally gorgeous, and dedicated high-school students, “Miss STAR” (Zonnique Pullins – 16 years old), “Miss BEAUTY” (Bahja Rodriguez – 15 years old) and “Miss BABY DOLL” (Breaunna Womack – 17 years old) are proving they have one-of-a-kind sass, swag, intelligence, showmanship and talent. Spreading their message of female empowerment everywhere they go, even their name
– Officially Miss Guided – is a play on words just as fun as each girl’s colorful hairstyle. “Officially” speaking, OMG stands for young ladies AKA “Miss” that are “Guided” in positive ways, hence “Officially Miss Guided.” Their mission – to let girlz everywhere know they can stand together as friends in positivity, true sisterhood and solidarity.

Ahead of the game with standout style, the OMG GIRLZ are all about friendship and it’s easy to see why they’re as thick as thieves. In fact, Star and Beauty are lifelong friends, as their mom’s have been best friends since they were kids. STAR brings a cutesy, prissy element to the group. She’s the quiet, laidback one, but you wouldn’t know that when she hits the stage with raw and exciting energy. BEAUTY brings a strong, demanding, turn-your-head element to the Girlz. She’s a tough one but wrapped up inside is a feminine, cute fun-loving prankster. BABY DOLL is the animated, over-the-top rapper who loves to dance, be athletic and look just as flirty as she is cute and edgy. Put together, the powerful female energy of The OMG GIRLZ makes for a magical dynamic that’s reminiscent of iconic girl groups like TLC, The Spice Girls and Destiny’s Child.

Grammy Award winning Singer/Songwriter, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, formerly of the multi-platinum girl group, Xscape, formed the OMG GIRLZ in 2009. Although STAR and BEAUTY were in the group from the start, BABY DOLL joined the group in 2010 and immediately bonded with them. Since then they have been very busy, working hard with recording and performing. Hard work does pay off, in December 2011; they were awarded a major record label deal with Interscope Records. The Atlanta-based OMG GIRLZ who are consummate entertainers that give one hundred percent whether
in studio, onstage or during interviews, are determined to bring the world their youthful expression of All-American, energetic, urban-pop music.

The OMG GIRLZ have been featured on both BETs “The Tiny & Toya Show,” & and VH1s “T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle,” but it was the release of their first official single, “GUCCI THIS (GUCCI THAT),” and their performance on the “SCREAM Tour,” that gave their careers a jolt and garnered them nationwide attention, peer acceptance and fan base notoriety.

It all began in January 2011, when the OMG GIRLZ were selected amongst hundreds of entrants to win the opportunity to become the “Next SCREAM Star,” and ultimately won a slot to perform on the back to school SCREAM Tour – The Next Generation. As the show openers, they broadened their fan base and became instant hits via their electrifying live show. Teen star maker and Head of Mauldin Brand Agency, Michael Mauldin (Kris Kross, Jermaine Dupri, Bow Wow, Xscape, SCREAM Tour creator), saw their promise and decided to take the ladies under his wing signing them to the management arm of his company. Under Mauldin’s managerial direction the OMG GIRLZ continue to sharpen their craft with artist development, non-stop touring and appearances. Their never-give-up attitude mixed with blood, sweat and tears has really paid off as OMG GIRLZ constantly proved that the “Next SCREAM Star” title was rightfully theirs.

From the onset of their recent signing to Interscope/Streamline Records via entertainment power couple, Tameka “Tiny” & T.I. Harris’ record labels — Pretty Hustle and Grand Hustle, respectively – The OMG GIRLZ’ first official video, “GUCCI THIS (GUCCI THAT),” took off and became an instant hit on the Top 10 list of BET’s 106 & Park (Video link here: http://www.vevo.com/watch/the-omg-girlz/gucci-this-gucci-that/USUV71200123). Last year, before their major deal, their viral video for the song, “Pretty Girl Bag,” a remix of now label mate, Soulja Boy’s, “Pretty Boy Swag,” raked in over two million views within ten months of its debut on YouTube. Most recently Lady Gaga proclaimed to her 20 million-plus followers via twitter that she was “obsessed with these little cuties.” Tell me, can you get a better endorsement?

The OMG GIRLZ are currently working on their debut album, which is slated for release this Fall. The CD promises “a little something for everybody,” states BEAUTY. Stay tuned for an upbeat mix of hip hop, R&B, rap and pop – all packed with girl power messages aimed at teens just like them. The girlz are making it their mission through music to help young girlz realize their potential to be the independent, strong and beautiful next generation of leaders! With a bold look, sound, and even bolder message, these girlz are headed for trendsetting greatness.
