It's been said that the value of an artist can be measured by their scars. The embodiment of a true artist, Keri Highland's music flows from her with an echoing sincerity, regailing all who listen with hypnotic melodies of survival and hope through seas of heartache. Along side this classic beauty walks an aching past that finds relief in the musical expression of its pains. Although her style is unique, her lyrics are soothingly relatable. After freeing herself from her nomadic family at the vulnerable age of 15, this self-taught pianist found not only release, but also a way of life in making music. Unafraid and unashamed, her lyrics boldly (and often jovially) recount times of misfortune, abuse, betrayal and defiance. During her live performances Keri sings soulfully and openly gives herself to her audiences. While her influences are noticeable, make no mistake, her sound and her words are entirely her own. Even the hardest of metalheads or the most unconformed punk can't help but feel captivated by the beauty of this woman's voice and the strength in her messages.
