Why this name?
Well my name's Griff, and when I started playing out and stuff people would just put "Griff" on the flyer. I thaught it was a bit boring to just have my name, plus I kinda wanted to distinguish between Griff the every day person and the person I was on stage, so I just started using G-Swift as a stage name and it stuck.
Do you play live?
Yeah. All over the place. Yeah, of course I like it =)

One of my favouraite moments was at the Stardust all-dayer in 2002 with Bad Company, L Double, Darren Jay and High Contrast. MCing for L Dubz and Darren Jay and getting 2000 people to push up their lighters during a huge breakdown was definately cool.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's good to get sh*** out there quickly. Especially IMing, you'd be supprised how much D&B gets signed to labels after a few AIM sessions.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yush.
Band History:
Been producing since 93, rhyming since 1990, DJing since 96.
Your influences?
93-95 Jungle: Old Reinforced, Suburban Base, Moving Shadow, Metalheadz, Labello Blanco, DeeJay, Kemet, X-Project, GLR, Flex, all those old classic labels still inspire me. Lots of 80s soul influences too, though I'm not sure how much that comes across in many of my tunes.
Favorite spot?
Adelaide, South Australia. London, England. New York, USA.
