Who Is S.W.A.T. Productions? The Artist Development Division was established in 1995 by Eural “EJ” and Tammy Hinskton, with the dream of becoming a worthy contender to the big production companies that dot the East and West coasts and center in Nashville, Tennessee. |
EJ Hinskton has been a long time lyricist and composer, starting out with Washington DC’s popular 1980's CBS recording artist "Radiant". He worked with them as a lyricist and emcee until the group disbanded in the late 80's. He then moved on to successfully manage and DJ nightclubs in the Washington DC area. While he was managing, he used his talents, which he had been perfecting since he opened his own entertainment company "SWAT Productions " in 1977, to become a popular nightclub Disc Jockey. It was in D.C. where he wrote and co-produced, and was an artist on his first song, "Jam No Question" on independent label Y.P.I. Records, Forestville, MD. In 1990 he relocated to Denver, CO to try to expand his entertainment/disc jockey company, "SWAT Productions". In 1999 he relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada to expand both his entertainment company "SWAT Productions", and music company. Since moving to Las Vegas he has had time to work on his true love, writing, composing, and producing music. He prides himself on his musical flexibility and originality. He writes Rhythm & Blues, Pop/Rock, Gospel, Children's songs, and dabbles a little in Country Western. Before he became involved with writing and composing music, he was an active duty member in the United States Air Force. He is a retired Senior Master Sergeant from the Nevada Air National Guard, and running a successful entertainment company, "SWAT Productions".
Tammy Hinskton, however, is new to the business. Tammy has traveled all over the world experiencing many different people and many different cultures. With her she brings the administrative support skills and public relation skills she has learned through work experience and earning her BS from Colorado State University in 1995, and a MS degree from UNLV in 2000. She is also a successful mobile disc jockey with SWAT Productions It was because of her desire to learn about the art of playing and mixing music that she met E.J. It did not take long before she became his top billing. Her interest in music grew and she wanted to learn more about the music business. As she learned, she used her business skills to help found the artist development side of SWAT Productions, Inc. She has written songs that fall in the Pop/Rock and Children's music categories. She currently is an active duty officer in the United States Air Force.
