- HighDro is a 24 year old Activist/ Connoisseur, and Songwriter/Performer raised in Sin City.
-His music is heavily inspired by Roots Rock Reggae as thats mostly all hes listened to the past four years.
-Found his love for Hip Hop and started freestyling at the age of ten
-Three months into his career he entered the Apollo Talent show that came to town & took third place out of fifty plus Rap and R&B performers. He had less than twenty performances under his belt.
-He is an energetic crowd pleaser that truly pulls a crowd in.
-He has recently recieved an astonishing amount of positive media in local magazines & papers
-Released two professional albums in the month of June 2009
-His music is on sale online & in stores.
-Has performed over three hundred times & is very comfortable on stage. He's performed in over thirty five venues in the past year & a half.
-He started Las Vegas' most consistent Hip Hop night "Hip Hop Roots" where he unites two genres together. Hip Hop & Reggae. The night has been running weekly for over a year & been embraced by the people of Las Vegas.
-Chose to release a three EP collection of six tracks a piece rather than a full length first. He displays three completely different styles all able to be marked to different crowds. His first album "Rise Up" is inspired by Oldschool Hip Hop & Roots Rock Reggae. It was wrote in the intention of bringing the soul and substance back to Hip Hop music. The second album "Concrete Jungle" is his mainstream club/radio album. Hard hitting beats all the way through! Catchy hooks with a tounge twisting message. This is not your typical dumbed down mainstream album. The third album "The time is now" is his Political/Revolutionary/Underground side. Packed with supressed information & backed with real emotion and anger. Together you have "Rise Up Concrete Jungle, The Time Is Now". Meaning the people of poverty, the people knowing
of whats going on must stop talking about it & start standing up. His goal in his music is to inspire and educate people so they can better themselves and society as a whole.
-He formed a Funky,Jazzy,Reggae,Hip Hop Band called "Radio:Alarm" in hopes to get his message into places that didnt accept Hip Hop in Las Vegas. Such as the strip where they have played @ Ceasers Palace @ club Poetry. He currently is focusing on his individual career however still works with his band.
-Started his own label "FreshTalent Entertainment" to distribute his music and create a more professional movement for his music
-Just embarked on a National four month tour from L.A. to N.Y. On June 18th & is returning october 31st
-Has a Europe tour planned in the near future
-He has collaborated with blues & Reggae bands & is currently producing tracks with a local Punk rock band. He strives to have produced tracks rather than beats saying "I would rather have a creation rather than a recreation"."My Rhymes were'nt recycled so why should the track be."
-Is part of a collective of over fourty Painters,Poets,Musicians, & Performers. The family is called "Macro-Fi" and features many genres from Hip Hop,Reggae,Ska,Punk,Experimental & Electronic music. WE all colaborate together to expand,challenge, & better our talents. When art work for albums is needed we turn to our family of painters, photographers, & graphic designers.
-In 2004 he traveled to Amsterdam to judge the Annual Cannabis cup. The journey impacted his life & led to some good stories to write about & remember.
-Has been in Hemp rallys fighting alongside friend & esteemed activist/author Jack Herer on multiple occasians
-Although his name represents his spiritual sacrament "Herb". His music is far deeper than
just funny pot rhymes. He is unable to really be profiled on his genre. Claiming that his
genre is Music & that he will make what he feels.
-He writes music from his heart not his head. Writing about past experiences and hoping
to help someone else from traveling the same wrong road he may have traveled through a message in his music. Rather than sitting down to write music he lets it write itself. When he feels something & hears it he writes it down & may become inspired right there. Very conscious in his writing in that he writes about what he is doing, living, & feeling.
-He is currently writing for five albums all set to drop within a year from know
-He also does Spoken word and Slam poetry and is writing a book in his free time
