Music career
2007–2011: YouTube beginnings
Their first video on YouTube, entitled "This Note", is a song which they wrote at the age of 15. Their first cover was of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", originally written by Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson and performed by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, but better known from Diana Ross's cover in 1970. They have posted 28 original songs on YouTube (as of June 2012). While living in Michigan, the girls posted a new cover or original song every week or two.
In February 2011, Megan and Liz went on tour with Boyce Avenue and Tiffany Alvord. They performed nine shows across the United States.
The duo released their first official music video on May 20, 2011, of their self-written song "Happy Never After." Since then they have posted 28 original and 13 official videos. Two days later, on May 22, 2011, Megan and Liz performed at the Totally Tube concert in Westbury, New York, alongside fellow YouTubers Kurt Schneider, Tiffany Alvord, Joseph Vincent, Kait Weston, and Jenna Rose.
Since moving to Nashville, Tennessee, the duo has been added to Nashville Hootenanny's 'Teen Hoot' roster, where local artists perform for a crowd of teens at Westwood Studios. Megan and Liz have appeared on June 26, 2011, and August 20, 2011, performances and play both covers and original songs for further shows.[2] In the August 20 show, they performed a duet with "Need Your Poison" co-writers Memphis High.

Megan and Liz co-wrote the song back in May 2011 with songwriter and music producer Chris Sernel.[7] The girls, along with their video producer (who had appeared in the "Here I Go" music video), visited over thirty locations in Nashville to shoot the many alternating scenes in the video.
2011–2012: A Twinning Christmas, "Are You Happy Now?" and performances
In early September 2011, Megan revealed on her official Twitter account that they would be releasing a Christmas EP before the release of their debut album. Their first original Christmas song, "It's Christmas Time", was released on November 8, 2011.
In mid-September 2011, Megan & Liz announced that they were heading to Los Angeles, California to shoot multiple music videos. One of them was for an original song, "Are You Happy Now?"

The single was released on October 8, 2011. The music video premiered on Teen.com on October 17, 2011. The website had been promoting Megan & Liz the week prior, including releasing exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the video shoot with Grimes, premiering a video teaser, and hosting a giveaway of some of the props used in the video.[8][9] As of now, an acoustic version of the song taken from one of their live performances is available as a free download on their Facebook fan page.

The commercial features snippets from their video for their song, "Bad for Me."[15] They were chosen to participate in the Macy's iHeart Radio Rising Star contest. With the help of their fans, they won the contest and were named the Macy's iHeart Radio Rising Stars. Liz stated "When we won the Macy's iHeartRadio Contest, I swear we did some major twin magic to make that happen. It was legit twin powers I swear".[17] On September 21, 2012, they performed at the Clear Channel's iHeart Radio Music Festival at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Megan & Liz were also featured in a commercial for the 2012 MTVVideo Music Awards.

Later on in that month, the girls were listed as number 14 on Billboard's 21 Under 21, a list of current and up-and-coming music artists.[18] They were also featured in The New York Times.[19] They have also appeared in the October 2012 issue of Seventeen and the November 2012 issue of Teen Vogue.

In April, Megan & Liz announced that they were partnering with Macy's and American Rag to embark on a cross-country road trip as part of the American Icons program. In the spring of 2013, the twins traveled across the country to visit some of America's famous music cities – Nashville, Detroit, Miami, New Orleans, Austin, Los Angeles, Seattle and NYC.

They have collaborated with Liz Huett, Taylor Swift's former back-up singer and Nashville-based songwriter. They have also had writing sessions with producers Toby Gad and Nathan Chapman, as well as with songwriter Jason Reeves.[22] Megan described the album to be along the lines of country and pop. A song on the album is rumored to be called "Shut Up and Kiss Me." Some of the writing and recording of the song was documented in an online interview video. They are also working on two tracks with producer John Fields. They have also written an additional two songs with Martin Johnson, including the title track to their album.[23] In late April 2014, the girls announced the closing of their record label, Collective Sounds, back in January 2014. Because of this, their debut album originally slated for February will not be released due to legal bindings.[24] They also announced the release of their upcoming EP, titled Simple Life - their first reflecting their new country direction. That same day, Billboard premiered their new single, "Simple Life."[25] On June 3, the duo released their EP, Simple Life. On June 12, Megan posted a solo original titled "But I Do" on her Tumblr. The link led to the duo's SoundCloud page which contained 5 unreleased songs, including a demo version of the title track of their unreleased album "Look What You Started." This song was heard live for the first time at the release party for their EP Simple Life on June 3, 2014.
They hosted This Week in the Nation, a bi-weekly web show through My Country Nation from 2014- 2015.

They teamed up with Friskies to raise $1,000 for the Friends for Dearborn Animal Shelter during the 2010 holiday season. The donation was awarded when their holiday jingle video surpassed 100,000 views after 18 days.
The duo also have a beauty channel on YouTube where they post videos that focus on hair, makeup, and style, as well as aspects of inner beauty.
