Born in Oklahoma City, Lil Mike and Funnybone are independent recording artists, dancers, actors, and motivational speakers. The duo was recently featured in the popular FX on Hulu show “Reservation Dogs.” Dedicated to entertaining and inspiring, the two have spent years making music and performing at venues of all kinds, from public schools to large arenas. In their diverse experiences, they’ve shared the stage with big name artists, been featured on television, and played in penitentiaries.
