About Rhythm and Swag

Where Music Meets Style

Rhythm and Swag was born from a deep love for music and self-expression. We believe that what you wear should say something—and ours says everything. Inspired by the pulse of jazz, the soul of hip-hop, the elegance of classical, and the raw edge of blues and funk, our brand lives at the intersection of sound and style.

My Story: Why I Created Rhythm and Swag

Joel New Look

I created Rhythm and Swag as a tribute to the two lifelong passions that shaped me — fashion and music.


My journey in the fashion industry began in 1983, working with style, textiles, and trends long before “streetwear” was a category. But my connection to music goes back even further — to the early 1970s, when the sounds of jazz, soul, gospel, and funk weren’t just in the air, they were part of everyday life. Music was how we spoke, how we dressed, how we moved through the world.


Over the years, I’ve worked behind the scenes and on the frontlines of both industries — from stages to studios, from garment racks to design boards. I’ve seen how fashion and music both tell stories. They reflect who we are, where we come from, and what we believe in.


Rhythm and Swag was born from the idea that these two forces should live together — not just on playlists or runways, but in the everyday pieces we wear and the art we keep around us. This brand is for people who don’t just love music — they live it. People who know that a good groove and a good fit go hand in hand.


This isn’t just about merchandise. It’s about cultural memory. Personal style. And giving voice to a legacy that deserves to be seen as much as it’s heard.


So if you’ve ever felt “jazzed for classical,” if you grew up on gospel but still ride with hip-hop, if the beat lives in your bones — you’re already part of this story.
