The Texas-based, identical twins originally surfaced on YouTube as models for their mother, Mindy McKnight's, flagship DIY channel Cute Girls Hairstyles, a visually extraordinary series that showcases the art of hair design. The twins quickly became their own personalities and launched a vlog channel in 2013 with a focus on family-friendly lifestyle and teen interests.

The pair are partnered with Benny Cassette, a music producer attached to Kanye West's GOOD Music label with a portfolio that includes The Band Perry, Miguel, John Legend, Lily Allen, etc., to create a series of upbeat, uplifting songs that offer listeners a positive message. Their first track, "Dance Like Me," debuted on Friday, March 3, hitting #11 on the Pop Charts the weekend of its release. The corresponding music video garnered over 1 million views in its first day, with over 6 million views to date. The McKnight twins have also released two subsequent singles "Simple Things" and "What We're Made Of." In October 2017, the twins went on the road to share their music with fans in a 16-city tour with DigiTour. Recent accolades for the twins include winning the 2017 People's Voice Webby Award for the Best Social Celebrity as well as being featured in People Magazine's VidCon coverage of top creators. Brooklyn and Bailey continue to be tapped by major brands seeking an authentic voice and family appeal, including Disney, CoverGirl, Clinique, JCPenny's, Hollister and more. The twins were also named Champions of the UN Foundation's Girl Up Initiative, which advocates for the education, health and safety of girls across the world. Fellow champions include actress Kat McNamara (Shadowhunters) and actress/model Cara Delevingne (Valerian). Other McKnight channels include sister Kamri (1.2M on Youtube) and the aforementioned matriarch, Mindy, who continues to operate Cute Girl Hairstyles, as well as newer channels Squared (twin-based content) and Millennial Moms. In addition to their addictive lifestyle content, the McKnight Family is praised by press and fans for being a transracial family with the adoption of Paisley and Daxton.
