Swan Porter grew up where the towering redwoods meet the sea, and her music is a direct reflection of it’s unique terrain.

Swan is predominantly recognized for her deep, raw, and moody contralto vocals; accompanied by classical and contemporary jazz inspired piano and indie folk acoustic guitar. Heavily inspired by songwriters from the 90’s like Fiona Apple and Jeff Buckley, Swan has made it her pursuit to connect with listeners in the same unique and intensely emotive artistic approach.

While Swan composes on both piano and guitar, she especially excels as a mostly self-taught pianist. She prefers the acoustic and percussive nature of the classic, centuries old instrument which she refers to coyly as the “mother of all instruments”.

Swan performs, composes, and produces her own music at her home studio in the Santa Cruz mountains. Her honest poetic lyricism and ethereal melodies tell tragic, yet beautiful stories of her personal life and intimate introspections.

After many years of sitting on miles of unreleased material, Swan Porter starts this new project off with an independently written and self-produced single titled “Death Bed Visions”.
