Early Life and Education

Justin Ritter was born on September 28, 1987 in the San Fernando Valley, California, and is now 38 years old. He attended high school in the same region where he met his future collaborator Hopsin.

After high school, Ritter enrolled at the University of California, Irvine, though after two years he decided to leave his studies to pursue a career in music. He comes from a family with one older brother, Damien “Dame” Ritter, who later co-founded the label Funk Volume.

Personal Life

SwizZz has maintained a relatively private personal life in the public domain. His brother, Damien “Dame” Ritter, played a significant role in his pathway into the music industry via Funk Volume. There is no information about his marital status, children, or romantic relationships at this time.

He has, however, referenced in interviews the challenges of balancing his musical ambitions with personal growth and accountability.

Career

SwizZz’s career gained traction when he partnered with Hopsin and became one of the early signees of Funk Volume, an independent hip-hop label co-founded by Hopsin and Dame Ritter.

In 2009 he released the collaborative mixtape Haywire with Hopsin, which helped raise his profile in underground rap circles.

He followed with his solo mixtape Good Morning SwizZzle in 2011, continuing to develop his sound and presence within the label’s roster.

Between 2012 and 2015 he toured with the Funk Volume crew and appeared on tracks with artists like Dizzy Wright and Jarren Benton. His solo single “Zoom In” debuted in August 2013, reflecting more personal themes and self-produced elements.

In 2016, following internal issues at Funk Volume and the label’s eventual dissolution, SwizZz announced his return to releasing music independently, dropping singles such as “Extra” and “Automatic” that addressed his experience of the label breakup and assessed his career path.

Since then, he has released a number of singles through the late 2010s into the early 2020s, exploring both aggressive rap and more introspective styles, although he has not yet released a major-label studio album in the way some of his peers have.

Net Worth

SwizZz’s estimated net worth is approximately US $1 million. This estimate is based on his earnings from mixtape releases, touring, collaborations, streaming revenue, and his efforts as an independent artist following the dissolution of his original label.
