Originally written by Chris Cornell, Brad Wilk, Tom Morello, and Tim Commerford, the track has held long-standing significance in Wolfberg’s life. As a teenager, the song symbolized personal liberation. He still remembers racing to Tower Records on release day in 2002, eager to devour Audioslave’s debut. But when Cornell passed away in 2017, the meaning shifted. “The highway no longer meant personal freedom,” Wolfberg reflects. “It meant distance. Departure. Death. The final, irreversible offramp.” Years later, while playing with a new chord progression, he began singing the lyrics again, not in imitation of Cornell, but as himself.

The result is a stripped-down, passionately raw version that honors the original while uncovering a new emotional core. The song concludes with someone walking away, echoing the themes of departure and transcendence. Produced, mixed, and mastered by Dallas Thornton, “I Am The Highway” features delicate acoustic textures, a melancholic guitar solo, and Wolfberg’s resonant voice front and center. The warm, intimate arrangement supports lyrics that have grown with him through teenage yearning, adult reflection, and profound grief. “In singing his words,” Wolfberg says, “I finally found my own”.

About Wolfberg

Wolfberg is a rising alternative artist and singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles, California. With a deep, commanding baritone and a lifelong love of music, Wolfberg has been writing songs since childhood, blending raw emotion with cinematic soundscapes that bridge the worlds of indie, alternative, and adult contemporary.

His music combines intimate, stripped-down verses with sweeping, nostalgic choruses, fusing organic and electronic elements like electric guitars, warm synths, evocative samples, and lush strings. The result is a dynamic sound that feels both deeply personal and sonically expansive.

Wolfberg’s journey into the spotlight began after a life-altering event: he lost everything he owned in the recent Palisades fires. That moment became the spark to finally pursue his passion full-time. A father of two, he channels both heartbreak and hope into his songwriting.

Despite being a new artist, Wolfberg is already gaining serious traction—garnering over 60,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and racking up hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube.
