(Progressive | Symphonic Metal) Graeme Swallow - Portrait of a Zebra - 2013, MP3, 320 kbps

At the urging of my pre-K teacher, my parents started me on piano lessons when I was 5 years old. In third grade I began learning drums through the school music program. At 12 years old, I began teaching myself guitar. I also learned very early on that I had the ability to learn music by ear and also create my own arrangements.

Through high school I continued to sharpen my instrument playing and composition abilities. When I was 19 or 20, I decided that it would be a smart idea to start learning how to use recording gear rather than throwing money at other studios all the time.

Through the years I have produced 3 full-length, original CDs and played in 3 bands of varying success. I am currently not involved with any band, but very active producing a new solo project. The most recent of those (Revelation Project, 2001 - 2006) had entries on the Christian Progressive Rock Volume 1 & 2 compilation CDs with renowned musicians such as Neal Morse and Kerry Livgren (Kansas, Proto-Kaw)
