From making covers of iconic songs and posting them on Youtube, to the big stage and millions of fans later, Teddy Swims has sure come a long way and he’s only getting bigger and better. It all started out when he posted a cover of Micheal Jackson’s “Rock With You” on YouTube in 2019, which has since garnered him over 6 million views to date. Since then he has covered countless other iconic songs like Shania Twain’s “You’re Still the One,” which Twain herself has praised. But Teddy didn’t get his start there.

Teddy has had music in his veins ever since he was a kid. Growing up he was heavily in the metal, rap, and punk scene and was a part of different bands across those genres.Those genres are still a large part of his life now and have been a big influence on him. Teddy is clearly passionate about his music and puts his all into everything he does, and you can tell.

In the past two years, singer/songwriter Teddy Swims has emerged as a powerful, soulful vocalist, an artist signed with Warner Records, and a YouTube star who has attracted over 100 million views by performing his new songs and cover versions. Four months ago, he released an excellent EP called Unlearning, and he’s released a new single called “Simple Things” that is perhaps his best song to date.

Based in Atlanta, GA, Swims (whose birth name is Jaten Dimsdale) has been on an interesting journey since starting his music career. He’s explored a wide range of music genres, before focusing on the soul/pop/rock sound he has today. Swims is such a strong, emotional singer, that he can express himself in almost any genre (including R&B and hip-hop).
