Hailing lutruwita/Tasmania Swaz Benjamin takes command of storytelling, party-starting and poetics through his intricate lyricism and evocative imagery. His fluid vocals over fresh musical backdrops deliver light-hearted odes to enjoying life, harder-hitting thought-provoking pieces, and motivating messages. He's performed on tours with some of Australia's finest artists such as Thundamentals, Drapht, Mallrat, Bliss n Eso, Horrorshow, Adrian Eagle, B Wise, PEZ, Maundz, Omar Musa, Dunn D & Luka Lesson as well as playing shows with international artists such as Akil the MC (Jurassic 5), Buck 65 (Canada), Lotek (UK) & Young Lunya (Tanzania). On his first album Souled Out, Vol. One: Daze Gone Bye Swaz worked with producers Hugh Lake, Chasm & Momo of Diafrix to create a release founded in soulful boom bap while channelling influences from an array of other genres, all imbued with coming-of-age thoughts and life experiences. “Swaz effortlessly fuses genres” - Stimulate Your Soul “Sonically his latest music is uplifting and empowering, being deliberately constructed from a recipe of cross-pollinated productions, lyrics, emotions and imagery” - AmNplify “Swaz Benjamin is a distinctly Australian hip hop talent. On ‘Coaster Lines’ he offers bars about summer days, and ‘the great southern land’; along with sunny production to match, plucky acoustic guitar, simple percussion and colloquial delivery. The laid back feel of this track is perhaps its best quality.” - Speaker TV
