With a blend of smooth soulful tones, feel good vibes, and charismatic stage presence, Swells captivates his audiences locally and abroad. Born in Orange County, California, Swells got his first taste for music playing and singing at church. Being of Tongan decent, music is such a rich part of the culture, so it was only natural that he latched on to music at such a young age. 

Swells got his first big break in the island reggae market as a musician, backing artists such as Fiji, Common Kings, Sammy Johnson, Katchafire, and more; however, it wasn't until recently that he decided to pursue a solo career as an independent island reggae artist. 

Being an artist that writes and produces his own music, Swells has already released two singles titled, "Rock The Night" and "Still Wanna Be" feat. Sammy Johnson; the latter record having charted at #10 upon release on the iTunes Reggae charts. Swells is gearing up for the release of his debut EP in January 2019 as well as a headline show at the iconic House of Blues in Anaheim to end off a busy year.

Swells attributes much of his success to the many artists that he's had the chance to work with. Be on the lookout for his upcoming releases as well as his upcoming tour dates.
