==Early life==
Phil Swann was born to father Lewis Swann, a sign painter and engineer, and mother, Nancy (née Douglas). He was raised outside Huntington in the small town of Milton, West Virginia. He has two older siblings, Linda and Greg.
At age 14, Swann began playing piano and singing in local churches, American Legions and civic organizations in-and-around the Tri-State area (West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky). When he was 16, Swann was cast in the long running professional summer stock musical, The Hatfields and McCoys, in Beckley, West Virginia. Upon returning for his senior year of high school, Swann enrolled part-time at Marshall University where he studied theatre and speech in the evenings. He subsequently participated in the college’s theatrical productions and concerts. After graduating from Milton High School, Swann moved to New York City to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.〔http://www.aada.org/pdf/alumni/americada_2006.pdf〕 In New York, Swann continued playing piano and singing as a way of supporting himself while in acting school. He performed with bands, played on recording sessions and worked as a solo performer in piano bars throughout the city.
After graduating from college, Swann went on the road acting in various productions but ultimately found playing music more lucrative. He formed numerous bands and performed all over the country in hotels, nightclubs and on the County and State fair circuit. For a time, Swann moved to Muscle Shoals, Alabama to break into the legendary Muscle Shoals music scene as a songwriter and session player. Though his time in Muscle Shoals was short-lived and unheralded, professional relationships were formed that would later become important in his career. After a brief stint in Nashville, Swann went back on the road playing music with songwriting being the center of his focus. In 1988, he moved to Los Angeles.
