About Swakhile

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember getting my first keyboard when I was about 12 years old and writing a song called "I Belong to You" which 2 of my cousins heard. Fast forward to the next Sunday school and one of them starts singing it as if it's already known. I was happy What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Adele, 25 Sam Smith, In The Lonely Hour (Drowning Shadows Edition) Shekhinah, Rose Gold These three albums have not only been with me during the heartbreak but also formed such core inspiration for me and influenced several of my own songs in subtle ways. Not to mention these are the first 3 albums I purchased digitally and physically. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Never” I love this song because I really remember the circumstances that drove me to writing it. I had just epically failed at composing my emotions after a major breakup and this song just wrote itself. I felt like my soul opened up and just downloaded it. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I remember my first time performing live on television and it still brings chills to me even to this day because in that moment all my dreams came true. To be honest the fact that someone felt I was worthy of that will always be a highlight. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Oh yes, I'd love to have my next project featured on some major radio stations, perform at a few festivals such as Bushfire and also do a tour in the UK. I'd also like to reach my first million streams in the next couple years.
