5/5 from 14 reviews
Photo of Grant Swift Grant Swift "Grant is an excellent musician and talent to work with. We recently used him for a corporate event where we brought in a number of our global senior leaders for a New York conference and have Grant perform at our reception was an incredible way to elevate the evening. He sang well, read the room and adjusted as needed, offered a wide variety of songs that resonated with the global crowd and performed in a way that still enabled networking and conversations. Can't wait to use Grant again soon!"
