Bay Area, CA

Just entering their twenties as their hits took hold, Bay Area rappers Kalin and Myles broke through the charts with a sound that combined party rap and pop. The two were working on their own raps and productions when they came together in 2011, recording their premiere song "More Than Friends" the first day, shooting the video the second, and uploading them both on the third. After an enthusiastic response, their solo careers were put on hold, and the duo began uploading more videos, including their breakout hit "Summertime Love." They released their Chasing Dreams album in 2012, with the K&M University EP following in 2013 -- both were supported by national tours. They then signed with the Universal Records imprint Republic, who released their Chase Dreams EP in 2014. The EP marked their first entry into the BIllboard 200 albums chart. ~ David Jeffries
