Swift Kirabo’ is a Rap artist from the city of Manchester he’s been doing music seriously for 3 years and dabbles in any genre he feels like, but mainly works with Hip Hop/Grime. From early Swift gravitated towards music because hes always had the feeling that its what he should be doing in life, music is something hes truly passionate about and wants to improve on daily.

He started out in school with Grime/Rap collectives developing his skills by taking part in cyphers with other MC’s in a highly competitive environment. As time passed Swift began to do more solo songs spreading them around his local area and then finally in early 2013 releasing his 1st free Mix-tape entitled ‘Daydreamer’ on ‘bandcamp’ which did well locally.

The inspiration for his music comes from real life scenarios that he or others have experienced as well as using his lyrical skills for a more creative/punchline approach. His main aim with music is to inspire, uplift, entertain and provoke thought amongst his listeners plus to one day have a worldwide audience who can appreciate what his music has to offer!

His latest project is an EP titled ‘Heart of A SOULja’ which will be out in 2014, this Video which is the title song ‘Heart of A SOULja’ is the 1st video taken off his EP, POWERFUL MUSIC!
