Ferera Swan is a recording artist, songwriter, composer, pianist, violinist, and GRAMMY voting member of The Recording Academy. Today, the Austin, Texas-based cinematic-pop artist is boldly emerging from a transformative time of reclamation.
Classically trained by the Suzuki Method, Ferera began piano lessons at age 3, violin at age 6, and began writing piano pieces by age 10. At age 16, she composed her first cinematic score. Working out of her home studio in Austin, Texas to date, Ferera has released two albums under previous artist names and has written, co-produced, co-engineered, and arranged music for other artists in a wide variety of genres. Her vocals and voice-over work have been featured in various commercial jingles including a national advertisement for Old Navy. Her original piece, “Lighthouse” was a featured highlight in the film documentary ‘Swim For The Reef’ that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in France in 2016.
Sharing her personal story through music as an artist, adoptee, and trauma survivor, Ferera is passionate about raising awareness around adoption in support of family preservation and evolving society's mainstream adoption narrative. Her music is a vulnerable expression of her ongoing healing journey, reaching the hearts of all listeners. Bridging music and advocacy for social change and collective healing, Ferera is an advisory board member for Support Texas Adoptee Rights and founding committee member of Women In Music’s very first Austin Chapter.
