His passion led him to the hallowed halls of the Hartt School of Music, where he honed his craft and emerged with a degree in Instrumental Performance. In 1998, Swang made the bold move to the pulsating heart of creativity— New York City. There, he unfurled his wings as a full-time music professional, seamlessly transitioning between roles: producer, arranger, and virtuoso musician. His studio prowess is legendary, rooted in timeless techniques—think tape reels and analog hardware. Artists of global acclaim seek him out, craving his magic to elevate their soundscapes. But Swang isn’t just about studio wizardry. He’s graced stages across continents, sharing the spotlight with luminaries like Ne-Yo, the soulful Shuggie Otis, and the groove masters of The Roots. Then came that fateful summer in 2017—the cosmic alignment that drew Swang into the orbit of The Family Stone. Their rich tapestry of classical music wove its threads into his soul, leaving an indelible mark. When he’s not belting out anthems with The Family Stone, Swang retreats to his creative sanctuary—the recording studio. There, he conjures sonic alchemy for upcoming releases by Jason Gill, CC Eve, Gene Taylor, and more.
