Toronto-based multi-instrumentalist Scott Girouard started releasing music as hialeah in 2021. Over the next year, he made two trips to the States to work with producer Fred Mascherino (Taking Back Sunday, Say Anything).  What came from those sessions were songs that offered a blend of alternative, emo, R&B, pop, and jazz crafted into a familiar, but also distinctly unique sound of its own. 

Girouard’s years of experience are evident in the fact that he’s playing all the instruments but sounds so much like a cohesive band. He has since put a live band in place and has been playing shows around Toronto and Southern Ontario. The self-titled debut album was released July 25th, 2024 on Heading East Records.
