melancholic bedroom soul juice.

bridging alt-hip hop with soulful indie songwriting — confessional lyricism, experimental production, and visual/conceptual world building.

His sound recalls the jazzy warmth of Mac Miller, the intimacy of Bon Iver, and the textured left-field production of mk.gee, while carving out a nostalgic world uniquely his own.

About

Swim is an Austin-based artist whose sound flows between alt-hip hop, indie, and R&B, laced with jazz-tinged guitar and groove-driven production. His songs balance raw confession with cinematic atmosphere, recalling the jazzy warmth of Mac Miller, the intimacy of Bon Iver, and the experimental pulse of mk.gee, while carving a lane distinctly his own.

Designed for late-night drives and city walks with headphones, his music explores the bittersweet beauty of life — love, longing, faith, and fleeting transcendence — with equal parts vulnerability and joy.

His debut EP Otherside arrives with a 13-minute narrative music film, a visual counterpart that expands the record’s emotional arc into a full sensory world.

Each project Swim creates is more than a collection of songs — it’s a conceptual ecosystem, where visuals, themes, and stories invite listeners to not just hear the music, but to live inside it.

By building these immersive worlds, Swim asks the listener to slow down, reflect, and find themselves in the questions at the heart of his art.
