In these days of digital downloads and virtual mc's, it is rare to find a group that can exude soul yet still embody the DIY ethic that made Hip-Hop a creative refuge for the disenfranchised artist. Portland , Oregon based Lightheaded happen to be all of that and then some; as young artists they represent one of the very few bright glimpses of the cultures musical future.\nThough Lightheaded have been winning fans all over the country with their high-energy live show, it was their dedication to life on the road that initially led mc's Braille, Othello, and producer\u002Fmc Ohmega Watts to cross paths in the first place. While Braille had spent his formative high-school years away from his Portland hometown in the garden state of New Jersey , he soon found himself on the road during summer break to pursue his music career. One particularly fateful summer, he shared a Florida stage with Ohmega (a Brooklyn born, Florida resident). An immediate musical and spiritual bond was formed and, despite the distance, they formed the group Return to Sender. Shortly thereafter Braille finished high school and returned home to Portland , with Ohmega soon to follow upon graduation from art school. After reuniting, the two began rocking shows up and down the Pacific Northwest . It was during a show outside of Seattle in 2001 that Braille and Ohmega would meet Othello, an mc who would soon complete the musical trio and birth Lightheaded. With a solid friendship as a foundation, the mc's began work on their first album. With solid lyricism and soundscape contribution from Canadian producer Muneshine, , Lightheaded's critically praised debut album, introduced the world to the deft talent of the three.\nOn the strength of their well-received overture, Lightheaded began an unremitting global tour schedule and built a reputation, show by show, as unstoppable entertainers. In their downtime they would open for national acts coming through Portland , and it was during one of these shows that they caught the ear of renowned producer Thes One of People Under The Stairs. So impressed was Thes with their showmanship that he demanded a demo and it was not long until they became part of the burgeoning Tres family of artists.\nAdding to the collective acclaim of Lightheaded, the respective solo releases of each member since the trio's debut have garnered substantial critical praise and set the scene for an anticipated return of the group; Braille was named one of "Urb's Next 100", with many solo projects under his belt, Othello's Classic EP was a best-seller overseas, and Ohmega Watts' two solo records on Ubiquity ( The Find, Watts Happening ) has been critically received by the global press and taste-makers alike. With production handled primarily by gifted group member Ohmega, Lightheaded's latest album on Tres, Wrong Way, culminated the experiences of the meantime, presenting a more focused, mature collective. With uplifting, introspective lyrics on hard hitting and soulful beats, Lightheaded proved they were able to temper their art with the style and energy of the history they are very much becoming a part of.\nWrong Way was released in early 2006 to rave reviews from such publications as Elemental Magazine and XLR8R. Riding off the success of Wrong Way, Lightheaded is back in the studio working on their follow-up to their sophomore album.\n- See more at: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.tresrecords.com\u002Findex.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=55&Itemid=72#sthash.PeWeop6x.dpuf
