Sounds

History: Originally a member of the 'Live to Break' breakdance crew. Popularity grew throughout the 90's doing parties for artists such as Bobby Brown, Mary J Blige, Lennox Lewis, Jodeci etc. He worked 4 years at BMG/RCA Records heading their R&B/Rap Promotions Dept (TLC, Notorious BIG, Wu Tang Clan etc.) before being head hunted by legendary hip-hop label Tommy Boy Records (De la Soul etc). He had a radio show on Londons Choice FM, doing a 1 hour mastermix show every Saturday afternoon. In 1998 he collected the 'Best Club DJ' award at the MOBO awards (other nominees being Fat Boy Slim, The Dreem Teem and Trevor Nelson). DJ Swing's popularity rocketed and he played at so many Celebrity parties both in the UK and USA that he would be overwhelmed with work.

With his infectious smile and personailty Swing was loved by all that knew him. But in June 2004 DJ Swing was told he had developed multiple myeloma, a rare cancer of the bone marrow. His only chance of a cure was a bone marrow transplant. With no suitable donors in his family, DJ Swing had to hope that there was a perfect match somewhere out there. But as an African Caribbean the chances of finding this perfect donor can be as low as one in a 100,000. If Swing were white the odds would be around one in five.. Unfortunately on 22 March 2006, Swing lost his battle with Cancer, it was a tragic loss to his family, friends and to the music scene as a whole! He may have left us in person but his Spirit burns bright in Our Hearts, Mind, Body and Soul... Love you Always Swinga!!!!! - Colin Francis.

The ACLT was the charity that Swing wanted to be an ambassador for had he survived. Therefore if you wish to help SAVE the LIVES of others...
