About Us

Swami 3 is a brother band born from a lifelong love of music and a deep family bond. Shaan, Rohan, and Noah each discovered their passion for instruments and singing at the age of five, and what began as a childhood hobby soon became a calling. Their first performance together in Singapore was life-changing, setting them on a shared path to bring their music to the world.

From early shows for small crowds to headlining stages like the Haight-Ashbury Street Fair, Golden Gate Bandshell, Music City SF, and Chase Center, Swami 3 has built its reputation on the undeniable energy of live performance. Every show is a dialogue with the audience - electric, communal, and unforgettable.

Musically, Swami 3 blends the raw spirit of classic rock with the freshness of modern pop, drawing inspiration from legends like Queen and The Beatles, as well as contemporary brother bands like AJR and the Jonas Brothers. Their sound is pop-rock at its core - playful yet powerful, soulful yet soaring - defined by authentic instrumentation and storytelling that feels both timeless and new.

At the heart of Swami 3’s music are themes of growing up, resilience, and hope. Their songs, including their upcoming singles “Rise Up” and “Hero,” capture the innocence of childhood, the challenges of coming of age, and the belief that music can spark connection and inspire change. With  more than 200million views and over 200,000 YouTube subscribers, and with recognition from the San Francisco Chronicle, the band is building a movement as much as a following - one rooted in family, authenticity, and the joy of making music that matters.

For Swami 3, music isn’t just performance - it’s purpose: to uplift, to connect, and to remind listeners everywhere that their voices and stories have power.
