He founded Swain Music Studios over 40 years ago as a response to people hearing him perform and asking "How can I play like that?"

His academic training includes a BM from Tulsa University and MM from Northwestern University. He credits his life-long inspiration to his first jazz teacher,pianist and teacher from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
