In a time full of young aspiring artists claiming to be the next one to blow Swayze Jones rise to the top reflects a story with a different approach; quite refreshing in tone and nature. The 24 year old DC born, Maryland bred female emcee got her first introduction to the art of Hip Hop at just the age of nine. Her older brother, who she calls Weezy, introduced her to artists like Common, Nas, Talib Kweli, Big Daddy Kane, Mos Def, and plenty more. Soon after this introduction, Swayze grabbed the pad and pen and fell in love with the endless possibilities of mixing creative imagination with rhythm and rhyme. However, she did not see it as being something she was good at until she got to high school. Rapping with her local crew CL Clique, she began to gain notoriety from her peers; it was not long before people could see that there was something special about her skill and passion. It is believed soon after that, Swayze saw it too. Working hard and staying focused, Swayze has made herself quite the topic of discussion; doing things not usually done by female emcees. Audiences have seen her get on the turntables, behind the beat machine, and even the keyboard while rapping all during live shows. Swayze earned her business degree from NC A&T SU, and uses her education and knowledge to strategically promote her brand and effectively conduct good business ethic, in an industry filled with greed and desires for quick routes to fame.
If Swayzes sudden presence did not surprise the haters, their doubts were quickly discredited when Swayze got recognition from one of the greats, making her debut appearance on Chuck D's radio station for her song Politics at its Best . In addition, she was recognized as a winner by Warner Music Group, Nikon and Talent House in the Warner Sound Captured by Nikon competition (for the event held at the world famous SXSW Festival). Dedicated and driven, Swayze Jones has made major moves and does not plan to stop anytime soon. Her music touches on everything, from good vibes to personal pain to everyday struggles that many can relate to. It reflects not just Swayze Jones' capabilities as an artist, but who she is as a person.
