The Redheads – Stopping Through Georgia On the Way To Stardom
Sisters, Britta and Brooke Dodgen are both Florida girls, born in Orlando and raised in Tampa Bay. For a few years they lived in Garland, Texas. Currently they're in the country music state of Georgia. Britta is 19 and Brooke is 16 years old. Both have graduated from high school with honors. And together, as The Redheads, they plan on taking the country-music world by storm soon.
Redheads Difficult Climb into Country Music
When Brooke was eleven years old she was trampled by her horse, Tiara. At first doctors thought she would be alright, but during her next growth spurt her muscles tore due to the hips being out of alignment and the formation of scar tissue. Overnight, her whole life changed.
She went from a very active child who loved dancing, horseback riding, and running to having to fight to regain strength to walk and move comfortably. Brooke was forced to drop out of regular school and start a homebound program. She spent her entire twelfth year traveling from doctor to doctor, and from physical therapist to therapist.
Formation of The Red Heads
During this time of rebuilding, Brooke discovered country music and the powerful effects it had on her soul. She was able to laugh and live again. She learned how to overcome obstacles. "Country music showed me that everyone has problems, you just have to hold on and get through them the best you can."
Through Brooke, Britta discovered country music and began listening every chance she got. Britta would come in after school and sit on Brooke's bed and together they would listen to the radio and watch music videos.
Britta was a classically trained opera singer. But Britta says "Country music touched my heart and I finally found my place. It felt like home."
The Red heads have sung at local events, barn shows, National Anthems and they're frequently seen at Writer's Nights around Nashville. They spend much of their time traveling up to Nashville. The girls have worked with top professionals in Nashville including Tom Manche, Susan Anders, Rachel Rains and Brett Manning,
The girls dream is to give back to country music what it has done for them.
