Q. Tell us about the Mako Girls? How did you ladies come up with the name?

A. MAKO Girls is a sister trio with a west Indian background that sing, dance, and rap.

We are based in Atlanta making Hip-Hop and Pop music. The name was original thought of by our mother and we came up with a meaning behind it, which is M for Mimi, A for A-Ni, K for Kena, and our last name Ochoa.

Q. What or Who inspired you ladies?

A. We are inspired by many artists that came before us. In the beginning our main inspiration was the boy band Mindless Behavior and the legendary girl group TLC.

We still look up to those people but now we take a lot more inspiration from people like Billie Eilish, Beyonce, and Chloe and Halle because of their strong fan base as well as their work ethic. The last thing that really motivates us is our family and the people that has been there since day 1.

Q. What are some things you’ll do when you have spare time?

A. The three of us have very different interest. For A-Ni, on her spare time she plays video games and spend time with our family and pets. Mimi likes to watch YouTube videos talk to friends on the phone, and sing. And finally, for Kena, she like to watch anime also talk to friends and go out.

Q. How did you’ll get into doing Glow Parties?

A. The Carnival Glow Party was originally our introduction into the music industry letting people know more about us. The carnival part came in because we wanted to show people carnival in our Caribbean culture. Then after the great turn out from the first year we decided to make it an annual event putting young artist like us making clean music have a platform to perform the music.

Q. Tell us about the Mako Girls Experience?

A. The Mako Girls Experience was our first ep inspire by things that we experience as well as letting people know about us. Starting out with “ATL”, an acapella about our hometown Atlanta Georgia. Then we have “Mako Thing” and “Turning up the crowd” which are songs that describe us based off message in the song, we are chill but also like to have a good time. And lastly there’s “Game Time”, this is our go hard or go home track spitting nothing but bars the entire song.

Q. What are one of your biggest challenges?

A. One of our biggest challenges is posting on social media. Not only do you have to make great content, but it must be at least three post every day on almost every platform. Most people assume that if you are not posting frequently on social media that you are not doing anything. So, we strive to always put out something for our fans to stay engaged on our social media accounts.

Q. What are one of your biggest accomplishments?

A. There are two major events that tied for our biggest accomplishments. The first one was being able to open for the boy group Mindless Behavior at their album release party. It was very exciting to perform for the group that inspired us to pursue our career, and it is a moment that we will never forget. Along with that our second greatest accomplishment was selling out at 450 people attending our “3rd Annual Carnival Glow Party”.

Q. What is one place you would love to go to and perform?

A. Due to us receiving numerous requests from our fans to go to Brazil we would love to travel and perform there! They support and show so much love, so it would be amazing to go there and turnup with them during a show.
