Bio

Upon first hearing Swaan's latest release,The Ghetto,The Bourgie,The Familyand The Fusion,one wonders if he is a wise sage,an enigmatic(circa 70's)performer,a thought provoking poet,or an imagative artist whose material echoes musical "glory"days past.His musical journey has been multi-faceted,and his "adult" debut,it is all of the above......and then some.
With musical in fluences ranging from Curtis Mayfield to Tupac Shakur,Swaan delivers a definitive volcanic eruption with his self-named"different kind of rap"stylings.Swaan has already amassed significant critical acclaim both locally and in the regional music marketplace.Much like himself,his style is highly original,poetic and message-bearing;yet does not suffer from"over-preachiness".At times his music is dark and introspective;yet it is interspersed with humor as well as humility and kissed with a heavy dose of musical genious god measure. This prolific singer/songwriter creates and performs with great ease and extremely high energy.As a result,his intelligent and imaginative song-styling and delivery immediately distance Swaan from the large pack of "rap clones".As important as his ever-increasing and loyal following is Swaan's reverence to the music of the past-as he states,"music then was real".
