MK first appeared on YouTube when the members of ‘Bratayley’ posted a video, which paid homage to David Cooper. A year later in 2014, the Cooper family came up with a documentary about David and his childhood which was posted on ‘Bratayley’. MK also featured in the video in which she was seen having fun with her brother during their childhood days.

MK became active on social media in March 2015. She started off by posting self-introductory videos on ‘Bratayley’ and on other associated channels. She then started posting her dance videos on the popular music channel ‘musical.ly’. Her passion for dance was apparent in the videos. MK attracted millions of viewers, thanks to her awesome and elegant dance moves.

MK’s YouTube channel is managed by her mother who also edits her videos. Unlike other YouTube stars, MK has scheduled her videos. On Mondays and Fridays, she posts a bonus video on any random topic. On Tuesdays, she posts videos based on her life stories, memories and experiences. At times, these videos feature MK’s family members as well. On Wednesdays, she posts videos under the section, ‘Wanna Know Wednesdays!’ Through these videos, MK connects with her fans by answering questions posed by them. Fans can come up with any question that starts with the phrase ‘I Wanna Know’. Sometimes MK turns the tables on her fans by posing them with questions, which makes for an interesting conversation.

On Saturdays, MK posts videos from another YouTube channel ‘TruthPlusDare’ which is also managed by her family. She edits the videos, makes the necessary changes and then posts the recreated version on her own channel.
