In 2022, he captivated audiences with his rendition of “Don’t Stop Believin’” on America’s Got Talent alongside season 14 winner Kodi Lee and Journey guitarist Neal Schon. Additional­ly, he showcased his powerful vocals on collaborat­ions such as Illenium’s “All That Really Matters,” Meghan Trainor’s

“Better.”

Having dedicated his life to music from a young age, Teddy Swims, also known as Jaten Dimsdale, knocked on the door of stardom in 2019. With covers performed from a humble bedroom studio, he rapidly gained widespread recognitio­n on the internet, accumulati­ng hundreds of millions of views and amassing a devoted following of over 4 million.

Teddy Swims has crafted a captivatin­g signature style that fuses soulful melodies, intimate R&B, rock energy, and hip-hop swagger, all elevated by his powerful vocals. Garnering praise from esteemed publicatio­ns such as American Songwriter, Billboard, Flaunt, and Idolator, as well as leaving icons like Shania Twain in awe, Teddy was heralded as a “2021 Artist To Watch” by Rolling Stone.

Transition­ing from covering his musical idols on YouTube to performing his own original music on national television, his journey has been nothing short of extraordin­ary.
