WHAT IT IS: The dynamic twosome, whose name represents the groups members’ combined initials (Malcolm Kelley and Tony Oller), met on set while ﬁlming a TV show and bonded over their shared passion for music. In 2014, they released their self-titled, debut full-length and toured the U.S. and Australia. The album was executive produced by Emanuel “Eman” Kiriakou and Evan “Kidd” Bogart and offers a vibrant, organic mix of pop, hip-hop and R&B.
