• MKTO

  Formed by singer Malcolm Kelley and rapper Tony Oller, MKTO (do you see what they did there?) are a up and coming duo who have so far released some well received and catchy hits, including 'Classic' – a song that is what its title suggests – and 'Thank You'. The self-titled début album charted in the top 40 in the US but also hit number one in Australia. From listening to just a snippet of their music, it's easy to see why these lads are so popular. Great vocals from MK and consistently well timed rapping from TO creates the perfect combination who know how to cater to the market of modern mainstream music. Performing in the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, MKTO rocked onto the stage, Malcolm wearing sunglasses and Tony inevitably wearing a cap, and opened with their energetic number 'Could Be Me'. The duo decided halfway through the song that they would play an air drum kit in unison, and it's antics like this that made them instantly popular with their audience of predominantly females. Screams and cheers followed every song, but the biggest reaction of the night came from the song 'Classic'. Nearly everyone in the room sang along to 100% of the words... Malcolm was barely needed on stage! At the end, Tony brought out a massive, colourful cardboard sign that read 'Baby we're so classic' – a nice touch to a great performance. MKTO ended the gig with a cover of the song 'Royals' and their other big hit 'Thank You', a song that had everyone jumping up and down in time with the beat. The noise was almost overwhelming towards the end as Malcolm knelt down in front of the crowd to sing the final few notes to round off a very lively show.

• MKTO is one duo to watch out for, as these boys’ stars are rapidly rising. Currently touring with the likes of Flo Rida and Olly Murs, MKTO are quickly making a name for themselves on the mainstream music market, especially following their hit ‘Classic’, and are now touring more than ever. Malcolm Kelly and Tony Oller, both American, make up the duo. Although MKTO clearly contains the initials of both members, they also claim that it stands for Misfit Kids and Total Outcasts- if these two were misfits, then I would have very much liked to have been an outcast with them. They couldn’t be cooler on stage, with thousands of young girls cheering wildly for them. Not to mention the fact that they’re both pretty easy on the eyes. ‘Classic’ opened the show to wild applause, and had the whole crowd singing along and dancing madly. These boys produce feel good, catchy pop and hip hop tunes. Like an older version of the Vamps, these boys have the ability to produce mass hysteria in girls but also have a very real, humble aspect to them, best exemplified by song ‘Thank You’, in which the boys sing about being social outcasts. Well boys, you finally made it.
