  • Miracle Singer and Pianist at 4—Now He’s Reaching for Teddy Swims!

    Send us Fan Mail

    Aris came on the podcast to share his dream of performing with Teddy Swims and to promote his music. Born 24 weeks premature, Aris survived 18 surgeries—including heart, eye, and vocal cord implant procedures—and miraculously began breathing on his own after being taken off life support. Despite being blind, autistic, and having one functional vocal cord, he taught himself piano at age four and later overcame his shyness through TikTok Live streams. To help him reach his goal, the podcast hosts agreed to cross-promote his music and tag @teddyswims on social media.
