Jaten Collin Dimsdale (born September 25, 1992), also known pseudonymously as Teddy Swims, is an American singer-songwriter whose music blends genres including R&B, soul, country, and pop.[3] He originally attracted fans through song covers on his YouTube channel throughout 2019 and 2020. His third extended play Tough Love (2022) caused him to chart on the Billboard 200 for the first time.
Swims rose to prominence in 2023 with his single "Lose Control", which reached the top-ten in several countries and topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024. Considered his breakout single as an artist, it was preceded by the release of his debut studio album, I've Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 1), which reached the top ten in Australia and the Netherlands. In 2024, MTV named Swims their "Push Artist of February".[4]
