About SwiftFM

Thanks for checking out Swift.fm. We really love music and are glad to have you here.

Before we begin, if you haven’t checked out our stance on copyright at the bottom of this page – please do. If you don’t, please at least buy lots of music legally. Thanks.

Swift.fm is primarily Edward Aten (San Francisco, CA) and Todd Etzel (LA, CA) Shane Mahoney (Oakland, CA) and Mike Young (Boston, MA).

Edward Aten

Edward Aten is the founder and lead of most things Swift.fm. In the last 10 years he has toured Korea performing Shakespeare, run a marathon on a whim, married a canadian, rocked at a rich media agency and shared the stage playing music with Guster, Howie Day, Dispatch and Percy Hill. Today he gets his kicks thinking about the internet.

Todd Etzel - King of Computers

Todd Etzel is actually a super-hero living in a giant computer underworld just off the coast of Los Angeles. You are probably familiar with his public alter-ego Sean Hannity.

Shane Mahoney - Marketing

Shane Mahoney likes to use the word "strategery" to describe his role at Swift.fm.  A native Minnesotan, he has spent the past 13 years trying desperately to lose his regional accent, working in the advertising and professional motor racing world, and zealously refusing to go to concerts with more than 1500 attendees because they "lack intimacy."  While he does not agree with your decision to like the music of Britney Spears, the Jonas Brothers or Toby Keith, he will defend to the death your right to listen to them.
