Highet

Highet is the songwriting duo of Nikolas and Thomas who collaborate to write contemporary songs. They produce the music and work with professional local session musicians to record songs at Blue Light Studio in Vancouver.

The band’s name originates from “Highet Creek”, a creek deep in the northern Yukon wilderness where their ancestors operated a placer mine for decades, searching for gold.

The authentic, guitar-centric sound of Highet’s music is inspired by artists, such as Dire Straits and Neil Young. All of Highet’s music is 100% original. No AI is used in the creation of their songs.


Highet’s first single, “Never Alone”, is an acoustic rock song with a contemplative tone and powerful messaging.

Highet is also releasing "Never Alone (Roaming Mix)", which infuses the original melody with escalating, emotionally charged hard rock tracks and additional verses.

Stay tuned for Highet's upcoming songs, "Your Eyes Won't See" and "Time is What I'm Wasting", which are scheduled for release this summer.
