Brandon Montel Scott (born 11 September 1996), known as Swarmz, is an English rapper and professional boxer.

He became well-known in 2018 with his song "Lyca," which led him to sign with Virgin Records. He also featured on the song "Houdini" with KSI and Tion Wayne, which reached number 6 on the UK Singles Chart. Later, he started releasing special songs called "diss tracks" to go along with his boxing matches.

Swarmz made his boxing debut in 2022 as a last-minute replacement for KSI. He lost that fight. Since then, he has had several more boxing matches, winning one and losing others. He has fought against other YouTubers and online personalities.

About Swarmz

Early Life and Background

Brandon Scott was born in Greenwich, London. His family comes from Barbados and Jamaica. Growing up, he was inspired by the music his family listened to, especially Jamaican artists. He started rapping with his friends while he was still in school.

In May 2020, Scott was in a car crash in London. A car he had rented for a music video hit a London bus. Luckily, no one was hurt, and no arrests were made.

Football Journey

Swarmz has always been a big fan of Arsenal football club. When he was a teenager, he was a very good footballer. He played for the youth teams of Fulham, Charlton Athletic, and Southend United. He even had a short time playing for East Thurrock United.

In 2016, he left Southend United. After that, he played for other teams like Cray Wanderers and Whitehawk. In 2018, he decided to stop playing football professionally to focus on his music career.

Music Career

Starting Out and Becoming Famous

Swarmz began making music as a hobby while he was still playing youth football. He first shared his freestyle songs on SoundCloud under the name Swarmzy-B. He later shortened it to Swarmz when he started making music seriously.

His first music video, "Money," came out in 2017 and got over 200,000 views on YouTube. In early 2018, he released another song called "Murda." His big breakthrough came later that year with the song "Lyca." After "Lyca" became very popular, he signed with Virgin Records. He then became even more well-known with songs like "Bally" and "Motorola."

In March 2020, Swarmz worked with Tion Wayne on KSI's song "Houdini." This song was a big hit, reaching number 6 on the UK Singles Chart.

Music and Boxing

In August 2022, Swarmz was set to have a boxing match against KSI. This led him to take a break from his music career. To promote the fight, he released a special song called "KSI Diss Track" on August 16.

He continued to release "diss tracks" before his boxing matches. In January 2023, he released "Redemption" before his fight with Ryan Taylor. In May, he released another one before his match against Deji Olatunji.
