Evidenced by collaborations with a diverse range of artists and bands like Surfer Girl, gnash, The Hip Abduction, and Jared Watson of Dirty Heads, Shwayze's music effortlessly crosses genre boundaries. With recent releases such as "High Times," "Kick Back," and "Shway SZN," Shwayze continues to charm listeners with his smooth flows and charismatic energy, solidifying his place as one of the quintessential voices of Southern California's summer soundtracks. Whether performing live sessions, like his set at Sugarshack Sessions, or crafting studio hits, Shwayze remains a relevant and beloved figure in the laid-back niche of hip-hop.
