M2M Part1
M2M is a Norwegian Pop Group composed of singers Marit Larsen and Marion Raven. They were signed to Atlantic Records in 1999 and released their album 'Shades of Purple' in early 2000. Their hit song 'Don't Say You Love Me' was played all over the radios after it was featured in the Poke'mon Movie. Their first album 'Shades Of Purple' wasn't much of a success but M2M proved themselves and took the world by storm when their second album 'The Big Room' was released in early 2002. The first song off of the album 'Everything' was played all over the radios. People finally knew M2M and their music. In the summer of 2002, they went on tour with Jewel. Sadly, Atlantic told them to pack their bags and come back home. No one heard from M2M for about a month. Finally, the truth came out. M2M was over. Atlantic signed them off the label since they said they wouldn't keep spending money on a group that wouldn't sell.

That wasn't the last we heard from them though. Marion Raven, was signed back to Atlantic. They wanted to make her into the next Shania Twain or Jewel. Marion is supposed to be releasing an album sometime this year. Marit is also signed to another record company with an upcoming album. Although M2M split, Marion and Marit remain friends to this day.

Marit was born on July 1, 1983. Marion was born on May 25, 1984. Marit and Marion are Norwegian singers and songwriters. Marit and Marion were born in Lørenskog, Norway. The Ms in M2M are the initials of the two members, Marit and Marion, and the number 2 stands for the two girls in the group. M2M stands for Marion 2 Marit, or Marit 2 Marion. They formed M2M in 1998. Marit attended the University of Oslo whiling she wasn't making music, and released her solo debut albumin 2006, called Under the Surface. Marion went on a solo act, and came out with her own album in 2005, called Here I Am. Atlantic Record dropped M2M from the label as a result of poor record sales.
