Teddy Swims
Born and raised in Atlanta as a pastor’s grandson, Jaten Dimsdale played American football and was involved in musical theatre while in high school. In addition, he joined bands of different genres, performing everything from hip hop, soul and funk to country and rock. Before long, he’d built a reputation for his soaring vocals and swaggering R&B style.
In early 2019, Dimsdale started uploading videos to YouTube from his makeshift bedroom studio under the name Teddy Swims. They were usually covers of artists he admired like H.E.R. and George Strait. After releasing a cover of Michael Jackson’s Rock With You that summer, his social media following skyrocketed and Dimsdale was signed to Warner Records.
By 2020, he’d gone from covering his idols to performing his own original music. A prolific writer, Teddy Swims penned nearly 300 songs, eventually topping the charts around the world with the multi-Platinum selling single "Lose Control" (no.4 in the UK).
