MKTO is an American pop duo that stormed the music scene with their catchy, soul-infused pop anthems. Comprised of Malcolm Kelley and Tony Oller, the two met while starring on the Nickelodeon television series "Gigantic" in 2010. This encounter fostered not only a strong friendship but also a dynamic musical partnership. Their name, MKTO, is derived from the initials of their first names, and it also represents the unique combination of their individual talents; Malcolm brings an urban pop flair, while Tony, an actor known for his role in "As the Bell Rings," adds a more classic pop vibe.
After signing with Columbia Records, they released their self-titled debut album in 2014, which included the hit single "Classic," a tune that resonated with audiences for its nostalgic references to timeless love and pop culture. Since then, MKTO has continued to release music that blends pop hooks with R&B grooves. Some of their recent releases demonstrate the duo's evolution in sound and lyrical depth, with tracks like "How Much" and "Party With My Friends" showing their flair for creating party anthems, while songs such as "Consider Me Yours" and "Marry Those Eyes" reveal a more introspective and romantic side of their music. Additionally, "How Can I Forget" has been remixed by various artists, like Ryan Riback and Sebastian Perez, showcasing the song's strong appeal and adaptability. MKTO's relatable lyrics and charismatic presence have secured them a dedicated fan base eager for each new release.
