Swordes is a Honolulu-born, New York-based artist who rose from Brooklyn’s rave scene with fearless, pop-leaning live sets built on hardware synths, drum machines, and operatic vocals. With no formal musical training, her eclectic and experimental style rejects hyper-produced norms for something raw, poetic, and deeply personal. Now blending pop vocals with 90s club energy, she’s preparing her debut full-length LP — “human music for humans.”
