There is no denying that Swanky’s signature and styles have taken over the West African scene in 2013.
When asked earlier today during a phone interview how he felt about making such big waves at such a young age, the soft spoken Jeremiah said, ” It feels good trust me, it was not easy from the beginning, but it sure is paying off now and i am enjoying the fruits of my labour.”
He has promised us nothing but the best and asked us to keep a keen eye out there for more of his work. His most recent milestone is a trendy club in  Lekki, Lagos called Alibi which opened early October 2013 – always star studded and you are almost sure of bumping into your favorite celebrity.
