Robot Swing’s weird.
Comprised of four of the most intriguing (and peculiar) music minds on the island, Robot Swing was formed out of a love of something ‘different’.
Featuring: Chao Cheng (Keys), Yu-Ming (Drums), En-Li (Bass) and Wei-Nong (Guitar), though light in age, this foursome had already put in an incredible amount of work prior to Robot Swing’s inception. Having been in several of their own successful projects (including 2016 Golden Melody Prize recipient, Blue Curtain), as well as produced/arranged/supported some of Taiwan’s finest, including: (2020 GMA-nominated) Yi-Heng Chen; (2018 GMA-nominated) LEO37;(2020 GMA-nominated) Midi Yang; (2023 GMA-nominated) Pei-Yu Hung; as well as laying the foundation for 2022 ‘most added’ independent Taiwanese song to digital playlists, ‘TM5’ featuring Yellow, Jerry Li, ABao, Kumachan, Trout Fresh, LINION, L8ching and many more.
Robot Swing made their debut in 2020 on a familiar stage, as the recipient of the Golden Melody Prize. Quickly followed by a 2021 Golden Indie Music Award nomination for Best R&B/Soul Song and a 2022 Golden Melody Award nomination for Best Arrangement for their single ‘My Heart is Plastic’. In July, 2022, Robot Swing released their debut album ”SYSTEM BOOTING…” which got them a 2022 Golden Indie Music Award nomination for Best New Artist and 2023 Golden Melody Award nomination for Best Band.
