Merrell Twins YouTube journey explored
The Merrell Twins hail from Kansas City, Missouri. They are best known for their YouTube comedic sketches and original songs. In the time of the global pandemic, the sisters took it upon themselves to create a show called Prom Knight, about high school proms. Speaking of the show, they said in an interview:
"We had no idea that schools would be closed due to the virus causing hundreds of high school students to miss out on prom. Prom is a much-anticipated event for many high school students, and we especially felt bad for the high school seniors, so we decided to dedicate the series to all the high school seniors who missed out on their prom."
The sister duo has also appeared in several videos created by Awesomeness TV. They also had recurring roles in the CW show Jane the Virgin.
The Merrell Twins have won the YouNower of the Year at the Shorty Awards. They also won Best Live Social Media at the Streamy Awards held in 2016.
