Alpine Swift, 26, originally Paul Arthur Osaroejii, is a singer, author, and lyricist. The Nigerian born, currently in Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia does his creative Soul music with a fusion of Afro-rhythm, his rare voice reminds of the late Afro-beat originator, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, who, as Alpine Swift puts it, is one of his major sources of inspiration - Alpine Swift's boldness showcases his fearless disposition and presents him as a social activist. His songs transcend the realms of love, charity, and courage, and fling open a new civilization - that in which people must live for others rather than for self, he believes in equality and advocates for women's rights and child protection. He has written over 58 songs, and has not released any; he says "the world is waiting for me." He was trained in the Catholic seminary, from where he opted out, as he was rather occupied with the thought of being a social activist with music and writing than becoming a priest as his parents wanted him to, though his family was disappoint, he always said "my voice will be louder from the studio than from the pulpit," and the reason he gave everyone for leaving the seminary was "equanimity in the face of misrule is false prudence," he perceived the seminary and priesthood as an entirely alienated world totally blind to the sufferings and misery in the secular world -- so for him it was an issue of going into the world to effect change, he couldn't bear the discomfort he felt whenever he read the papers and saw the poverty and wars, and terrible happenings around the world, he comes from a highly neglected region of Nigeria - the Niger Delta - and this may have influenced his disposition, he feels for the suffering population of the world.
