Thanks for sharing your story with us MAKO GIRLS. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Meet Atlanta’s own Pop and R&B group MAKO Girls! Deemed to be as legendary as the great TLC. MAKO Girls have been setting their own trends and creating their own opportunities. Mimi, A-Ni, and Kena Ochoa known to most as MAKO Girls. They are three sisters that took their love for singing and dancing to a professional level. Inspired by Missy Elliott, TLC, Aaliyah, Katy Perry, and Mindless Behavior, the MAKO Girls wanted to do more than just sing and dance, they want to entertain the masses. With the upcoming release of their second EP, the MAKO Girls are making waves in the entertainment industry and it’s a dream come true. The MAKO Girls have performed at over 200 youth inspired events and shows since the start of their music career. The group is striving to break barriers with their clean music and introduction of a professional platform where other artists that possess the same drive and passion can become a part of the movement. The creation of the MAKO Girls Annual Glow Party and now the MAKO Girls Carnival Glow Party Tour has completely changed the dynamics of MAKO Girls placement in the industry. The introduction of their teen cosmetics line with Kissable Lips Cosmetics put the group directly in front of the lime light and the sisters embrace it.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Not a smooth road, we had to find our place and voice in Atlanta. Being so young when we started our career in the music industry, there were not a lot of opportunities to perform and showcase our talent. We would perform for a variety of non-profit organizations to later become advocates for youth performers. With that initial struggle in mind, we created a platform to connect the missing pieces giving youth performers an opportunity to perform live on at our professional Annual Carnival Glow Party stage.
Please tell us about your work.
We specialize in live performances and panel speaking sharing positive inspiring messages and being a voice for the youth.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
We will be releasing our first album Summer 2020! Be on the lookout for our first single from the upcoming project, entitled “Ready” which is scheduled to release July 2020. Plus, being brand ambassadors for Girls Who Brunch Tour, look for us on a screen near you, we are excited to be a part of their Girls Who Brunch Tour virtual tour where we will be empowering girls worldwide. Also, watch our for us on PBS Celebration of Music which will be airing soon! Join the movement as we strive to become the household name that bring families together while sharing great music, sending out positive vibes, and bringing lots of laughter and unity.
