Highland is a German dance/hip hop group. Their music is recognizable for using Latin singing together with hip hop beats and rapping in English, making the songs very interesting and unique. Band members are the singer Nicole Heiland and the rappers Dean Burke and Patrice "Lady Scar" Gansau. Their music is written and produced by Mike Michaels, Mark "MM" Dollar and Mark Tabak, who are also behind the artists and bands like Music Instructor, The Boyz and Ayman. Dean Burke has also worked with Music Instructor and Lunatics. Highland as a group existed only a few years though.
Their first single, Bella Stella, was released in 1999 and became a hit. In 2000, they released the album with the same title and with three more singles, Se Tu Vuoi, Solo Tu and Veni Vidi Vici. All of these used the same formula, Latin singing mixed with hip hop and electronic music.
In 2001, Highland also released the single Magic Fortuna, which was based on O Fortuna, a part of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. The main difference between this song and the Bella Stella album was that it didn't feature Dean and Lady Scar, only Nicole.
