Swirv has always had music at his
core. As a child he began by playing the piano and later moved on to the
drums, being influenced by almost everything from classic rock, Motown, the
Beatles and much more. As time passed, Swirv
settled in as the drummer of a classic rock jam band that performed in various
venues across the Midwest United States.
But that was just the beginning…
Swirv experienced a musical rebirth and
shifted his focus to electronic dance music, attributing it to his younger
days. “I used to stay up late and listen
to regional house DJ’s and their late night mixes on Chicago radio stations,”
Swirv remembers. “I’ll never forget how
that music energized me.”
Knowing of Swirv’s rekindled passion for
electronic dance music, a friend recommended ATB’s compilation album “Seven
Years.” From the moment that CD entered
his player, Swirv was instantly hooked on the grooves and melodies present in
EDM. Over the course of the next year,
he went on his own musical journey finding himself enchanted by tracks from the
world’s top DJ/Producers such as ATB, Tiësto, Ferry Corsten and Armin van
Buuren.
Swirv began his own quest as a DJ/Producer
where many greats have started before him……in a small studio in his bedroom.
“The emotions that one piece of music can
evoke is incredibly powerful. I aim to
produce and spin tracks that will trigger those same emotions inside the minds and bodies of music lovers everywhere.”
And he is well on his way.
