Cisco Swank

Cisco Swank (Francisco Haye) is a Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and producer moving fluidly between jazz, hip-hop, and R&B. Berklee-trained, he broke through with his 2023 debut album More Better — a sprawling web of jazz, hip-hop, indie, and R&B featuring Laura Elliott, Ambrose Akinmusire, and Luke Titus. The New York Times profiled the record and compared him to MIKE and Earl Sweatshirt; Complex named him a Best New Artist of 2024. Since then he's headlined a US tour with sold-out rooms in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Chicago, played Monterey, Newport, Winter, Montreal, and North Sea Jazz festivals, accompanied Noname on keys for her world tour, and headlined a sold-out show at New York's Blue Note. He's a founding member of WHATMORE, the NYC collective blending hip-hop, jazz, and alternative. His catalog runs deep in collaboration — the 2022 album Some Things Take Time with Luke Titus, plus work alongside Saba, Noname, Braxton Cook, Malaya, and Julius Rodriguez.
