Do you enjoy good, thoughtful music? Me too.
On his 2021 record First Elephant, songwriter, composer, and vocalist Grant Swift laces together threads of softly psychedelic folk-rock, hook-drenched power pop, and rollicking jangle boogie. Anchored by Swift’s deft and intentional arrangements, the songs are elevated by his fluttering, delicate, and truly striking voice. Under The Radar Magazine writes, “Swift displays a deft hold on potent pop melody.” First Elephant’s singles were adds on College and Community radio stations nationwide. The single “Sunshine” was a favorite of Baltimore’s public radio station, WTMD 89.7 FM, and was spun over 100 times. Grant’s self-produced music video made fans over at V13.
Swift is a New York City boy and the son of a preacher. Born in Manhattan, formed in the tri-state, and educated in the Bronx, he currently hails from Brooklyn. By deploying his eclectic training in Baroque and Classical music and drawing deftly from the palette of the R&B, Psychedelic Rock, Jazz, and Pop he played growing up, Swift crafts music that “brilliantly recreates a modern mashup sound” (Impose).
