In his powerful return to The Pivot Podcast, Jaten Dimsdale known as Teddy Swims, sits down with the guys to reflect on how life has transformed since his first appearance in 2022. Back then, he was a rising star trying to find his place. Now, he's a chart-topping artist with a global fanbase—and a much deeper understanding of himself.
We traveled to meet up with Teddy on his US tour where he's selling out venues around the country to catch him before his big show, and to no surprise, he's as genuine as the first time we met him. Teddy shares the pivotal moments that led him to embrace his true passion for music, revealing the challenges and triumphs along the way to the top and what it's like to be living his dream.
Teddy opens up about the personal growth he's undergone over the past few years—emotionally, mentally, and creatively. He speaks candidly about therapy, heartbreak, healing, and the lessons learned while navigating fame, relationships, and his own identity. From the raw vulnerability in his newest music to the clarity he's found offstage, Teddy bares it all about finding his life partner as he shares his biggest news and excitement around his next chapter- fatherhood.
The discussion delves into the creative process behind Teddy's latest album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy , exploring the raw emotions and personal experiences that shaped his journey. Teddy reflects on the therapeutic power of music and how it serves as both a personal outlet and a means to connect with others. He opens up on growth as an artist and individual, as he navigates the complexities of fame, self-identity, and the pursuit of authenticity in an industry often defined by its superficiality.
The conversation offers a rare glimpse into the mind of an artist continuing to redefine the boundaries of music and personal expression. It explores the transformation: of a man, an artist, and a soul finding peace after chaos. Whether you're just discovering Teddy or have followed him since the beginning, his journey will resonate, inspire, and hit home.
