Kalin and Myles is an American hip hop and pop duo from the San Francisco Bay Area. The duo consists of Kalin White and Myles Parrish.
Career
Myles was having a house party in Northern California when one of his buddies brought Kalin along, which is how the duo initially met.[2] “We had always had known each other, and I would see him at the functions”, Myles said.[3] They met for a second time at a movie showing of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never in 2011, when Myles told Kalin he was starting to get into music. Shortly after, they began working together as a duo.[4] Myles was quoted in an article saying the following: " It was the premiere of “Never Say Never,” and we both ended up in the same row. It was crazy. But that’s not where we officially met for the first time – it’s just where we finally crossed paths again. And I was like, “Hey – what’s up? I’ve started to do some music!”" 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."[5] Shortly after meeting, they started making music together in Myles’ bedroom. Social media then sparked their popularity. Myles says, "I was just like making beats in my room and I just had a microphone from Guitar Center that I got and he came over and we put out a song like that weekend and got a cool response and just thought, ‘Yo, we should keep making more music.’” [6]
The duo released their debut EP Chasing Dreams in June of 2014. The EP entered at number 6 on the Rap Albums chart.[7] The duo released their second EP, Dedication, in December 2014. They are going on a headlining tour in 2015 to support the EP.[8]
