Hailing from Orange County, CA. Holiday State exudes Pacific Coast eaze along with Southern charm blending a fresh sound of Country/Pop/Rock/and R&B. The trio of multi-ethnic brothers grew up in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. Their childhood home built on old country land where the Oregon Trail once passed. Raised by parents that encouraged creativity, faith, and family values, music was abundant and provided a constant influence, resulting in the brothers showing passion for music at a young age.  

Compared to the surrounding OC area, R.S.M. is modest in size, with a small town feel, about 25 minutes inland from the beach, and a couple hrs from the mountains.

The brothers grew up listening to a mixture of genres, while all were fans of Country Music, Brandon was specifically drawn to R&B/Hiphop, Brett, Pop & Jazz music, and Bryan, Punk/Rock & Alternative. Their love for country music grew further when they discovered Rascal Flatts, Alan Jackson, and Keith urban, which resulted in them going line dancing weekly and experiencing the epic Stage Coach Festival in Indio, CA. 

The siblings come from a musical family, including a long line of dancers and singers. Their father, from Honolulu, Hawaii, instilled in them their Hawaiian culture, as well as their Grandmother, who along with her sisters was a professional hula dancer for many years on Oahu. Each brother brought their individual musical tastes together and put them into one sound, creating what you hear from them now.

On October 1st, 2017,  Brett attended the ‘Route 91 Harvest’ festival in Las Vegas.

The group was intensely shaken and an indelible mark was left on all three of them. It was necessary to take time off for Brett to heal, and as a part of the healing process, they sought out to make the most meaningful and purposeful music as possible, both melodically and lyrically. This mission led them to Nashville in early 2018, where they wrote and recorded new music with producer Andy Sheridan (Major Bob Songwriter, founder of ‘Charlie Horse Productions’ and Music Director for artists Hunter Hayes and Ben Rector) They also recorded with producer Tyler Cain (Big & Rich, Darius Rucker, Billy Currington) This was the start of a new musical journey. 

The brothers continue to write and record new music and perfect their live show and look forward to hitting the road in 2022.
