About Prince Swanny

Prince Swanny, born Taryll Mical Swan, is a dynamic dancehall artist, singer, and songwriter hailing from Trinidad and Tobago, celebrated for his energetic and outspoken style. He rose to prominence in 2017 with regional hits like "Go Fi Dem" and "Brother, Brother," and is often hailed as the "Zesser King" for his contribution to the "TriniBad" sound, a melodic fusion of trap and dancehall distinct to Trinidad and Tobago. His music is characterized by infectious beats and lyrical prowess, blending traditional Caribbean rhythms with modern influences. In his recent endeavors, Prince Swanny released several singles in 2024 including "Corrupt," "Believe," and "Heavy Weight". In 2025, he released the albums "Zero Tolerance" and "Saint," which feature tracks like "Shy," "No Competition," "Liff Up," "Bendova," "RIFLE," and "Fully Active.". His album "Swanology" was released via ZTEKK Records and Roc Nation's Equity Distribution, a significant distribution deal. He was nominated for the "2023 Impact Award (Dancehall) at the 2024 Caribbean Music Awards" and has performed at events such as the 4th Annual "Angela Yee Day" in Brooklyn. Recent news from January 2026 indicates that a US-based record label, VAS Productions, is threatening legal action against the People's National Movement (PNM) for the alleged unauthorized use of his song "Liff Up" in political campaign advertisements. He also reportedly sustained a gunshot wound to his hand after being shot in Miami, Florida on Christmas Day of last year (implied to be December 2024), an incident that left him recovering and absent from social media. Additionally, he faced charges in April 2023 for breaching a High Court order after allegedly refusing to provide passwords for his electronic devices and social media apps, following an incident where he was denied entry to Dominica for a concert.
