From covers on Youtube to releasing his own hits, [Teddy Swims](https://www.instagram.com/teddyswims404/?hl=en) is back and better than ever. Accumulating over 160 million views to date, real name Jaten Dimsdale is a rising singer-songwriter from Atlanta who’s ready to prove his worth. Swims stands for Someone Who Isn’t Me Sometimes, referencing his personal struggle integrating the different parts of himself.
Boasting 243K followers on Instagram alone, Teddy has the ultimate cosign: Shania Twain. In October of last year, he released the [most beautiful cover of her hit single “You're Still The One](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QWZQh0YYWA),” which currently clocks in at 35 million views and counting. Beyond his smooth, sultry voice, fans immediately fell in love with Teddy as a person, someone who’s going through the motions of life like the rest of us.
Now, he returns with his newest single titled “Broke,” via Warner Records. The song is produced by Julian Bunetta \[Maroon 5, One Direction, Thomas Rhett\], with Teddy’s bold baritone blaring over the exuberant beat as he reminisces about being broke his entire life up until this point. The story is meant to inspire and motivate the masses to chase their dreams and never look back.
Speaking on the record, Swims states, “It’s hard to believe I’m not hurting for money anymore. My brother and best friends now have full-time salaries through the TeddySwims \[project\]. I was able to buy my dad a new truck. Earlier this year, when the whole team drove across the country to Los Angeles, we weren’t staying in motels and on couches anymore — we had an Airbnb in the Hollywood Hills.”
“Broke” was written before the pandemic hit, capturing the journey he embarked on over the last year.
