Reigning from Atlanta, GA, Grammy-nominated vocal powerhouse Teddy Swims (born Jaten Dimsdale) has been putting in real work for years. A quiet, yet steady grind has brought Swims to the forefront of the music scene in 2024 with record breaking songs, sold-out global tours, and iconic performances. With a voice that effortlessly blends genres, including R&B, soul, and pop, Teddy Swims has captivated listeners with his raw emotion. His voice, full of soulful resonance, carries the weight of lived experience and his lyrics delve into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.
This year has been a whirlwind for Swims, who celebrated the success of his multi-platinum chart-conquering hits “Lose Control” and “The Door” from his debut album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1). Swims’ breakout single “Lose Control” sees his success climbing to new heights, garnering over 2.6 billion global streams, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, hitting #1 at Top 40, Hot AC, R&B, AC and Rhythm radio, and recently being inducted into Spotify’s “Billions Club.” The success earned him a 2025 Grammy Award nomination for Best New Artist, as well as a performance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, where he received three nominations. His impact has soared across the globe—this year we saw him perform at the MTV EMAs and NRJ Awards, as well as the Los40 Awards, where he took home two trophies – Best International Artist + Best International Album of the Year. With over 5 billion career streams to date, a sold-out global headline tour on the horizon, and the highly anticipated Part 2 of his debut album arriving in January, Swims is gearing up for a record 2025.
