Musical duo MKTO will take over the HUB’s Alumni Hall March 23, thanks to the Student Programming Association. The group, composed of Malcolm Kelley and Tony Oller, will perform at 8 p.m. Like other SPA-sponsored events, it will be free for students with a Penn State ID.

Oller and Kelley met while filming the popular Nickelodeon program Gigantic. They played best friends on the show, and soon became close in real life as well; MKTO are the combined initials of their names. Following their Nickelodeon ventures, the two went separate ways. Oller starred in CSI: NY and The Purge, a horror flick. Kelley is best known for his role as Walt Lloyd on Lost.

Musically, MKTO blends sounds of pop, hip-hop, and R&B to produce its unique songs. After covering their favorite tunes, the duo dropped its first single after signing with Columbia Records. The track is called “Thank You,” a hit that garnered over three million YouTube views in its first three days. “Classic”, MKTO’s latest single and a summer hit, has eclipsed 46 million views and peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.

SPA will also be bringing in Steve-O of Jackass fame to entertain students with a comedy routine only three days before MKTO’s performance.
