Teddy Swims is one of the biggest breakout stars in global music right now! A soulful powerhouse with a heart as big as his voice, and a personality that’s just as loud. In this laugh-out-loud and surprisingly honest chat with Jimmy & Nath, Teddy opens up about his dream of being a stand-up comedian, why he’s got Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan tattooed on his body (yes, literally on his butt), and the chaotic story of showing his tattoos to Adam Sandler at a Knicks game. From forgetting the first line of his hit “Lose Control” mid-show to his love of Happy Gilmore, fart jokes, and UV light tattoos, Teddy proves he’s just as funny as he is talented. He talks about growing up wanting to make people laugh, how comedy shaped his stage presence, and why he believes the key to performing, and life, is not taking yourself too seriously. The boys also dive into his love for Australia, the importance of surrounding yourself with good people, and how he learned to stop writing for others and start writing for himself. It’s raw, hilarious, and full of heart... exactly what you’d expect from a man who can’t swim but somehow keeps floating to the top.
