By the Numbers: MKTO
Pop-singing duo Malcolm Kelley and Tony Oller, known as MKTO, broke onto the music scene in 2013.

Kelley and Oller have come a long way since they met in 2010 while starring in the Nickelodeon series Gigantic. Their hit song “Classic” has gone platinum in the U.S. and internationally.
Read on to learn more about MKTO. Then plug in the numbers to solve the equation below and reveal one final fact.
