History

Timko and Tabbara first met in Youngstown, Ohio in 2011 after Timko booked Tabbara's band to perform at a St. Patrick’s Day event.[6] The two began dating later that year, and joined each other's musical projects soon after.[7] They moved to Los Angeles in 2016, where they formed Munnycat. They currently reside in Studio City, LA.[8][9][10]

Munnycat released an EP entitled, Platinum Gold , in April 2017. They release singles on a regular basis, including "don’t stop (drip drip drop)" in March 2019, which made it to #1 on Hype Machine and landed at #4 for the week of April 1–7.[11][9] Their song "Platinum Gold" was featured in Coca-Cola's first advertising campaign for AHA sparkling water, which launched in March of 2020.
