Profile: DamienSwaby

Damien Swaby was born from the smouldering ashes of a former artists heart who had undergone severe trauma, lost his will until his new found consciousness came to light. He presents his music as Rap/Art because he feels it is more inclusive and representative of the vision his sprit inspires him to share. He plays the Guitar, Bass, Sings and of course Raps! He was and remains a fan of ALL KINDS OF MUSIC and is committed to completing his own unique vision of what music can be filtered through his own set of circumstances and the truth of his own nature. When describing his music he quotes from one of his idols, the great American Prophet and Poet Walt Whitman "Listen, I will be honest with you. I do not offer the old smooth prizes, but offer rough new ones. Once upon a time, an artist, a fish, woke up to find himself in an era swimming in various kinds of music, the best of which touched him as a fish swimming in water feels everything that water contains. He decided to take elements of all that moved him, wrap it around his vision and call it "Round 9" "Round 9" acknowledges with respect all that has gone before it, adds new strains and continues it passing it forward. "Round 9" recognizes no valid ethnic, gender, age or language barriers and recognizes that it's origins belong to the people. It's nature is passion, courage and curiosity and it acknowledges no rules and will not be tamed merely for easy corporate consumption. It is it's own beast and shall remain so. Its purpose is to lead the listener back to the garden in their heart , to provoke the mind into seeing fresh shapes in order to encourage fresh new visions. Enjoy "Round 9" When it is released.
