Event Photos

M2K is an up-and-coming female group featuring Mom, Khetty, and Kenny. The 3 women are artists who have turned their individual talents within music and writing into a DC-based R&B group. They sing, rap, and come up with their own original songs. M2K plans to be in more music scenes to bring back the 90s feel of R&B groups and their own originality at the same time.
