Teddy Swims began publishing cover songs on a YouTube channel. In June last year, his debut album “I tried everything but therapy” was released, featuring his No. 1 hit “Lose Control”. The album also made it to number 1 in the charts in Australia and the Netherlands.
Teddy Swims grew up in Conyers, Georgia. His father introduced him to soul music at an early age by introducing him to artists such as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Al Green. Originally an avid football player, he discovered his passion for the performing arts during his high school years. He performed in musicals and acted in Shakespeare plays. The fact that YouTube can also be a good singing lesson is shown by the skills he picked up there.
The song describes the power of love, which can sometimes reach the point of self-abandonment. “Being in love can sometimes be like an addiction – always chasing the highs and lows,” Swims says of the track. “It’s about losing yourself and losing control when everything falls apart and you think the only way out is to be with that person and chase that feeling over and over again.”
Tedddy Swims has tried out many genres and personal sounds. At some point in the production process, Teddy Swims realized that this song was something special and would change his life. Well, that’s how it turned out and he seems to have found his sound.
