Teddy Swims

Teddy Swims is an anomaly — reigning from Atlanta, GA — the vocal powerhouse blends genres from pop to soul, hip-hop, and R&B. Born Jaten Dimsdale, he has been tugging at heartstrings since posting a series of covers from his makeshift bedroom studio in 2019, which resulted in hundreds of millions of views, a massive fan base, and ultimately scored him a record deal with Warner Records. Since then, Swims has spent countless hours writing his own original music and honing in on his art and who he is as an artist. 

In 2020, he channeled his focus to introspective originals on his first EP, Unlearning, garnering praise from American Songwriter, Billboard, and Rolling Stone, who named him an artist to watch in 2021. Soon after, performances on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Today, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and opening for Zac Brown Band’s Summer arena tour cemented his status as a rising star. 

2022 marked a banner year for Swims with the release of two EPs, Tough Love and Sleep is Exhausting, collaborations with Meghan Trainor, ILLENIUM, MK, and BURNS, performances on Ellen, The Late Late Show With James Corden, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and his Tough Love headline world tour. Also in 2022, a snippet of him singing the Journey classic “Don’t Stop Believin’” went viral with over 80 million views, and after releasing the full song, he was invited to perform with Journey founder Neal Schon on America’s Got Talent. 

With more than 870 million global streams to his credit, as well as a social following that exceeds 10 million, Swims’ infectious personality and undeniably distinct voice has clearly connected.

Fast forward to 2023 – after capturing the ears of millions with music, he has gone on to perform at sold-out shows in the US, Australia, and UK. His upcoming album, I've Tried Everything But Therapy, arrives this September, preceded by his latest single "Lose Control".
