Spyke Swenson

Spyke Swenson’s journey into the world of acting began in his high school drama class, where he discovered a passion for entertaining others. It was the thrill of eliciting laughter from a live audience during a rendition of the Monty Python skit “Fish License” at a high school comedy show that ignited his love for the craft. Despite his early interest in acting, Spyke initially pursued a music career after graduating from high school. He released two independent dance-pop EPs, showcasing his versatility as an artist and as a songwriter.

In a serendipitous turn of events in 2018, Spyke’s path took an unexpected twist when he randomly reunited with Christian Potenza, whom he hadn’t seen since taking one of his workshops in 2011. This reunion proved to be a pivotal moment as Spyke was encouraged to give acting another go. Intrigued by the idea, Spyke decided to enroll in the voice acting training course at Christian’s company, The Infinity Forge. This marked a significant shift in his career, allowing him to combine his love for performance with the unique art of voice acting.

Under the mentorship of Christian Potenza, Stephanie Yelovich, Tarah Consoli, Melanie Davis and David Stinson, Spyke honed his skills and embraced the challenges that came with learning this new craft. In 2022 he was featured in a training video for The Insurance Bureau of Canada. Also in 2022, “Leading Me On” a song Spyke co-wrote with and for Norwegian artist 8lanco was featured heavily in the NRK teen drama Rykter. No matter comes next, Spyke is ready to go!
