SWARM, known by his friends as Brandon Thomas Carroll, started carving his path in 2018 after recovering from nearly a decade of struggling with anorexia. Though that time in his life was difficult, it made him who he is today. Nearly all of the lyrical themes in his music address the struggles that he went through and still goes through. The importance of mental health will always be the focus of everything he does.

Carroll decided from the start that he was going to primarily release his music independently. Being an independent artist can be a hard road to take, but it allows for the creative freedom necessary to keep his passion alive. Since the inception of the project, SWARM has self-released (4) EPs and over 30 singles, two of which were licensed for Battle Royale juggernaut, Fortnite, and most recently in an episode of CSI: Las Vegas. In the remix sphere, Brandon has released officials for Apashe, Kayzo, Celldweller, ATLiens, and more.

In the live space, SWARM truly shines. Whether I’m playing for 5 or 5,000 people, he gives his performances every ounce of energy he has. With a stage presence akin to the most electric frontmen in the business and a sonic experience that levels dance floors, SWARM's enigmatic performances leave lasting impressions on all those who bear witness. Making his festival debut in 2021, he quickly climbed the ranks to perform on the main stage at many of the same festivals just one short year later in 2022. Carroll has provided tour support for the likes of Sullivan King (2019), Figure (2019), Phase One (2021), and Black Tiger Sex Machine (2022). Taking aim at creating his own immersive live show experience, we'll be sure to see more headline performances and tours to come.
