Shwayze

Aaron Smith (born May 29, 1986 in Malibu Ca), better known by his stage name Shwayze, is an American rapper. Born and raised in Malibu, California, Shwayze worked at a local Starbucks coffee shop until he met Whitestarr frontman Cisco Adler at a nightclub. One night Shwayze jumped on stage during Whitestarr's performance and started freestyling, impressing Adler. They immediately began making music together, and landed a deal with Suretone Records. Their first single "Buzzin'" peaked at #46 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their second single "Corona and Lime," has reached #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. and #3 in the US iTunes Store. Shwayze's self-titled debut album, which Cisco Adler co-wrote, was released on August 19, 2008. Shwayze and Adler are the focus of a reality television series on MTV titled Buzzin', which debuted on July 23, 2008. The show has now stopped with a replacement of "Let it Beat TV" on iamrogue.com. He has been also known to work with rapper Chris Young of banana beat records. Shwayze and Cisco Adler released a mixtape entitled "Rich Girls" on November 24, 2008.. On Thursday September 2, 2010 Shwayze performed at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia alongside Kelley James and Lil John as part of the Muscle Milk Social Studies Tour. Shwayze recently had a show at Raritan Valley Community College (which is in Central New Jersey) but Aaron was ill. So, only Cisco performed with the band. However a lot of people were disappointed that Aaron was not present, so majority of the tickets were refunded.[citation needed]. He was also featured in a sketch on Nick Swardson's Pretend Time....
