He sings about everything from growing up in the Bronx to the obstacles he faces in life, love and his own personal experiences while being able to combine the genres Drill and RnB to create something smooth known as "Drill RnB". Nells was recently able to get in contact with Swagg and get an interview.
Q: Where are you from/where did you grow up?
A: I'm from the South Bronx,New York and was born and raised in Soundview Projects. My name is Johnny Cashes and I go by Swagg Milliano or for shorts Swagg Milly Da Billy.
A: I use to play basketball in High School when I was in California, but then I moved back to the Bronx where basketball was less of an interest for me. I started listening to artist such as Trey Songz & Fabolous, huge influences to me when it came down to music due to there lyrical ways and flow. Then I decided to write my own music which got me where I am at now.
Q:Tell us a little bit about the MillianoBoyz
A: I am the Milliano Boyz. I'm the face of the brand and I feel like it's up to me to get the team in the door. We have a mixture of Hip Hop & R&B, Melly Milliano & Braxx Milliano are the new generation with this new rap culture and I got faith in them 100%. As for me, I'm more on the R&B side. We coming for the face of this new music culture and we won't stop until we get the top spot.
Q: I’ve noticed your sound is something different and you call it a new genre known as “Drill RnB”... how would you describe “Drill RnB”?
A: Drill is the new Chicago sound, and where I'm from there's a lot of violence and police sirens so there is a lot of comparison between the two. I just simply started singing about the things me & my homies see & go thru daily and that's where "Drill R&B" comes from by combining the two genres.
Q: It seems every time I go on Instagram I see you promoting your music or shooting a video or performing…. How hard do you work & how are you able to constantly make songs?
A: With this music game there's no time for breaks or time to sleep because while you're sleeping or taking a break the next man is working harder then you are, so I'm working 24/7. I can write 3-4 songs a day or even more if I'm highly influenced and I feel like I can write and record a whole mixtape in less then a month.
