JON SWAII KILLING THE INDEPENDENT SCENE WITH THIS NEW SINGLE "FEAR" FT LEIN

JON SWAII, ARTIST AND PRODUCER, WAS BORN IN THE BRONX NEW YORK. JON HAS DEEP ROOTS IN JAMAICA AND CARRIES THE LEGACY OF HIS GREAT GRANDFATHER LEONARD P HOWELL THE FOUNDER OF RASTAFARIANISM. JON'S CHILDHOOD TRANSITIONED BETWEEN NEW YORK, FLORIDA, VIRGINIA, PENNSYLVANIA AND ITALY. FRUSTRATED WITH THE CONSTANT MOVING INTO NEW ENVIRONMENTS, JON USED HIS FRUSTRATION TO WRITE POETRY AND TURNED IT INTO MUSIC.

JON WAS ONE OF THE ARTIST SHOWCASED AT THE 2021 BET HIP HOP AWARDS MC’S CARRYING THE TORCH AND HE ALSO WAS IN RED BULL'S COMPETITION THE CUT WHERE HE MADE IT TO THE FINAL ROUND IN A 3 WAY TIE.

JON SPEAKS OUT AGAINST SOCIAL INJUSTICE AND IS A FREE SPIRIT. HIS ECLECTIC STYLE OF MUSIC REFLECTS HIS PROGRESSIVE JOURNEY.

HIS NEW HIT SINGLE IS CALLED PIECE BY PIECE. THIS TRACK WAS MADE FROM A POSITION OF FEELING LIMITED BUT KNOWING IF HE WORKS HARD AND PUT THINGS TOGETHER PIECE-BY-PIECE HIS DREAMS WILL COME TO FRUITION.
