Munah graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a Diploma in Communications and Media Management. It was there that she met her YouTube partner, Hirzi Zulkiflie.^[2] She furthered her studies at the National University of Singapore's Faculty of Social Sciences, specialising in New Media and Theatre Studies.^[3]

Their first video series, titled "10 Dares", was inspired by the French movie "Love Me If You Dare ". The movie featured a couple daring each other, which spurred the duo to film videos of themselves doing ridiculous things that they had already been doing offline.

Initially, the series was just meant to be shared between their circle of friends.

However, they unintentionally managed to garner a much wider audience.

Soon, they were uploading videos regularly and growing a fanbase online.^[7] As of June 2019, they have more than 149k subscribers on YouTube.^[8]

In early 2018, the duo announced their intention to go their separate ways and focus on their individual careers.

Munah was born in Singapore on November 29, 1987 and her astrological sign is Sagittarius.

In 2015, Munah appeared in German body-care brand Nivea’s advertisement for their underarm whitening deodorant product. However, the 3-minute long video sparked negative sentiments among netizens as many felt that it promoted self-doubt among women with darker underarms. In response to this, Nivea took down the video. Munah had also expressed her opinion regarding the incident, saying that she believes there are different perspectives to the same situation and that the video, which was filmed with an intention to be humorous, could have been received differently by the audience. In addition to this, she defended herself citing that she did not have creative control over the video and was only hired as an actress.^[22]
