Music career
2007 - Early 2011: YouTube beginnings
Their first video on YouTube, entitled "This Note", is a song which they wrote at the age of 15.[3] 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).[4] 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.[5]
The duo released their first official music video on May 20, 2011,[6] 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.

Views of Lake Michigan can be seen in the video. The single was released two days prior to the music video's release on YouTube and Celebuzz.
In the beginning of August 2011, Megan & Liz debuted their new single, "Here I Go", on Celebuzz!. The song was co-written by the girls and Paula Winger.[9] In late August 2011, the twins released their next original song, "Run Away", along with a corresponding music video. The girls co-wrote the song with Alexz Johnson and Jimmy Robbins. The video was shot at Edwin Warner Park in Nashville.[10]

This song was also recorded for the Do Something organization against bullying.[16] 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.[17][18] 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.[19]
Their original song, "Old School Love", was released early on December 21, 2011, with the re-release slated for January 3, 2012.
