He is a solo artist and is also a member of hip hop duo Mr & Mrs in which he is the main producer and co-writes/performs songs with his wife Nadirah X. Swish grew up in Clinton, Mississippi where he lived with his parents.
His father, an established pianist, introduced him to multiple genres of music including blues, jazz, gospel, and classical, with a few of his favorites being Donny Hathaway and Rachmaninoff.
Figuring that his home state of Mississippi couldn't support his musical ambitions, he moved to Los Angeles.
The EP featured guitar from Joanne Shaw Taylor and Mike Bradford as well as violin from Ann Marie Calhoun.
In a 2013 interview, Swish stated that his favorite producers all-time were Just Blaze, Kanye West, DJ Premier, Swizz Beatz, and Organized Noize.
[5] "With its driving beats, hard-hitting, heartfelt, intelligent lyrics, rousing instrumentation, and propulsive samples, Mr. & Mrs. conveys the artists' busting-at-the-seams impatience with a system, a music industry, a society that stands in the way of genuine self-expression, innovation, originality and soul.."[4] Swish and Nadirah X wed in 2010.
