There are at least three artists to have recorded under the name M&M:

1. M&M was originally a new wave group formed in Toronto in 1977 as Martha & The Muffins. Lead singer Martha Johnson and guitarist Mark Gane shortened the name to M&M and downsized the group to a twosome in 1984. They scored a huge dance hit in the U.S. with "Black Stations/White Stations" which stayed at #2 on the Billboard charts for three weeks that year.

2. A dance act, comprising of producers Mark Williams and Matthew Clayden, signed to the influential Suburban Base Records. They released a number of Old Skool rave anthems including the huge Don't Stand In my Way and Tell Me Why featuring Rachel Wallace.

3. M&M was also the original name of rapper Eminem, when he was just a local artist in Detroit. The two M's represent Marshall Mathers; his birth name. Mars threatened to sue him because of their product of the same name, so he was forced to change his name to Eminem (M&M spelt as it is pronounced). Read more on Last.fm.
