About Me

Music is a shared passion, love, and lifestyle of five aspiring artists from the Greater Toledo area, who all have their minds and hearts set straight forward, with the common goal of becoming a national act where touring and recording are adopted as a favorite past time.
Each member came together and instantly created chemistry, due to each of their diverse musical backgrounds and common goals.
Realizing that the music industry is fast-paced and complex beyond comprehension, Highland has come to believe that as long as they stay grounded and write music that can both reveal their personas but also connect to a universal audience, they have a promising chance; they live by the concept of creating a unique, self-actualizing sound while also giving listeners of all ages some musical therapy to rock out to.
The diverse influences of the band include The Used, Green Day, Morrissey, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, Aerosmith, Metallica, The Doors, and Coldplay. Utlimately, the band will keep playing and pursuing their dream with every last breath in them.
Highland is so greatful for the intense impact music has had on their lives on so many levels that they hope to make their mark and impact listeners and future artists the same way past and present musicians have influenced them. To Highland,
music is an artistic symbol of what exactly life is all about, physical and cognitively; they don't want to simply make a hit record, they want to make a hit career with admirable longevity that sets examples for future musicians.
Highland is not just a talent, not just an act; Highland is a way of life.
