Meet Summer

Swee-Singh

Early in my studio/touring career, I recognized a lack of AAPI representation in the music world--outside of the classical and ethnic-specific (K-Pop/J-Pop/Bollywood) realms--and realized I needed to do what I could to highlight the stories, perspectives and music of some incredible AAPI musicians to inspire the current and future generations of AAPI musicians. The four pillars this project was built upon are identity, representation, perspective, and progress. More details about this project HERE.

Hi! I'm Summer. I'm a California-based AAPI studio and touring musician (keys / piano), string / orchestral arranger, composer, backing vocalist, music director, and string / orchestral contractor. I release music under my name (Summer Swee-Singh) as well as with my original project, grp. I additionally am the keys player, music director, and string arranger of JAMS (an all-female backing band for hire) and run my own all-female orchestral ensemble for hire for studio/touring work, Summer Swee-Singh & the Heartstrings. Some of my more notable studio and tour/live credits include Chon, Anthony Green, KSHMR, Bebe Rexha, Circa Survive, Roddy Ricch, Chief Keef, Naia Izumi, Keiynan Lonsdale, Gashi, Mothé, Until the Ribbon Breaks, Thunder Jackson, Alexandra Shipp, Nikitaa, Psychic Barber, etc. You may also read more about me in my self-interview on this blog here.
Proud UC Berkeley alum. Go Bears!
