My name is Anders and I'm an artist, producer, and songwriter from Sacramento, CA. I’ve been pursuing a career in the music industry since 2023 and currently live in Nashville, TN. I’ll soon be relocating to Southern California to begin working out of a professionally-equipped studio in Mission Viejo.
My passion for music began early, I grew up playing drums and singing in jazz ensembles throughout middle and high school, traveling across the country to compete at the national level. I was honored to earn multiple Downbeat awards and perform at renowned festivals like the Monterey Jazz Festival and the Jazz Education Network conferences. I also had the privilege of participating in California’s all-state ensembles and was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship from a Grammy-nominated artist.
At the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music, I studied on a performance scholarship while simultaneously completing a full pre-medical curriculum. This intense dual-track left little time to truly explore music on my own terms. It wasn’t until after college, while working in healthcare, that I allowed myself to fully reimagine my path. In 2023, I began teaching myself music production, songwriting, and sync licensing from scratch with very minimal studio gear and almost no industry connections.
Now, my music is represented by multiple sync licensing agencies including The Bus Music/Underground Mix, Cedarwood Place, 11One Music, and others. I provide creative services locally and around the world such as production, mixing, mastering, instrumental/vocal performance, video/photo editing, and more. I would love to hear more about how we can collaborate together! Please feel free to reach out at andersswansonmusic@gmail.com.
