Born in the South Bronx a borough rich in history
and tradition in hip hop.Started off as a grafitti writer in the
early 80's then became a break dancer.When breaking died down his
choices were limited to the streets or to an art form called DJaying,being
he was brought up in a musical household,the choice was easy,he
became a DJ.He started off learning his craft by studying legends
like Grandmaster Flash,Red Alert and close friends like Luis Flores
and DJ Supreme and when he was able to put it together he joined
a rap group with childhood friends,Rick Masters,J Flavor,and Lou
Blunt.It was then he took it to the next level and took off on his
own to persue his quest to be the next big DJ to come out the Bronx.After
years of battling and working at the premier record store in the
Bronx,it was his co worker and friend Baby Hec Romero who saw that
Swift had the "it" factor needed to be a top club DJ.
Over the years Swift has played in every venue in the tri state
area and was one of the most demanded DJs in the club scene,he then
started traveling and making a world wide name for himself.After
years of touring he decided to "retire" due to exhaustion
with the whole club DJ scene,but it was a chance meeting with DJ
Scan from Simplyradio who ignited a fire that was beginning to flame
out.Scan introduced him to the world of the internet and showed
him how he could continue to be heard world wide while not having
to thru the rigors of traveling.Swift took him up on his offer and
played on simplyradio.com doing "The Eddie B Swift Radio Show"
and immediately was a sucess.Listened by over 1,000,000 people world
wide over the internet,he rediscovered his love for DJaying and
broadcasting to people all over the world!After several years with
Simplyradio,Eddie B Swift relocated to Florida in 2004,and it was
there were he met up with DJ Quikdanite and Nasty Stylez.He continued
on doing a show but this time with Quikdanite and Stylez,and it
was a hit right off the back.
Swift went on to join them in R SENAL and started doing the club
scene along with Quikdanite forming a great DJ tandem and quickly
became in demand again after relocating to Orlando.After DJ Quikdanite
and Nasty Stylez acquired Simplyradio from DJ Scan ,they quickly
