You may recognize Brit & Alex as the faces of the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Campaign, but modeling was never their passion, it's always been all about the music for these 21 year-old twins. At 17, Brit & Alex stopped modeling in order to focus solely on their music careers. During high school in London, the girls co-wrote over 60 songs with various young producers. After graduating, they moved to Atlanta once they learned that producer Dallas Austin (TLC, Pink, Madonna, Gwen Stefani) had listened to their music and wanted to work with them. The girls have spent most of the last two years in Atlanta working mostly with Dallas and Tricky Stewart (Britney Spears, Blu Cantrell, Mya, Tyrese). The result has been a fresh, unique sound, which is as much a result of their distinctly different voices and personalities as it is of their various musical influences.
