Growing up in the Silicon Valley, I learned the life lessons necessary to become not only a man; but a man of my word. Constantly faced with challenges, I moved forward with dignity and respect. After finding my voice through music, I decided to take on a path outside of myself. My music, my words, my knowledge, is all for you. My name is all I own.

Go for Greatness

-J. Swish

Known to many people as the "nice part" of the SF Bay Area, Santa Clara is where I am. Although many opportunities arise here, challenges are not to be ignored. High living prices and family illnesses have been a factor in my life as have been in the lives of the many people in my community. I write my lyrics and produce my songs in relation to the many challenges I have faced; being black youth in an area dominated by money and a greed for success. Success comes in many forms. Discovery of self being the highest of all.

Go for Greatness.

-J. Swish

Being a first generation American, I had no excuse to sleep on my studies. Although I've found great success in education, I still feel expressionism is essential for passing knowledge. Money isn't everything, and getting an education doesn't immediately fill one's pockets. That being said, My music is inspired by what I've learned on and off of the street. Make your parents proud, but don't ignore the free spirit of your soul. Keep it real with ya partners, but don't fall into the hole. 

Go for Greatness.
