Teddy was exposed to a wider variety of music than most “country boys”.

These experiences make Teddy who he is as an artist.
In March of 2019, Teddy went on his first US tour as a hip-hop artist with his best friend Addy Maxwell, which he describes as freeing experience, as he was able to continue to expand into uncharted territory. With this in mind, Teddy began to explore integrating the various genres he loved: metal, pop-punk, soul/funk, country, gospel, r&b, and show-tunes, into one genre that is Teddy Swims.
Teddy is the accumulation of past projects. Swims stands for: someone who isn’t me sometimes, a reference to Teddy’s struggle to integrate the different parts of himself. For Teddy, the goal is to break barriers and bring people together. About the project, Teddy says, “There are no categories, no stereotypes, no statistic is a definite number. Until we learn to see every person as an individual, we will never truly reach unity.”

Teddy Swims Lyrics
If there's a fire in your kitchen
And when your roof just won't stop leaking
I got your back without you even asking
If I gotta whoop somebody's ass, I'ma do it with passion (mmm)
And when it gets too dangerous
Know I'm never out of touch
Ain't gotta call 911, you can hit me up
Girl, you know I'm the one whenever you need something
An emergency, or when you just can't sleep
I'll slide through for ya with that urgency
Might rock the boat, but don't panic
Might take you home to Atlanta
Might be rushin' in, but goddamn
Wanna know you like the back of both my hands
Mmm, bop the mmm like I'm Hanson
You're tall, dark, and I'm handsome
Grab something new, but old-fashioned
Lucky me, I get to be your man
Things don't go as planned (oh, no no)
But who gon' save you like I can?
Ain't gotta call 911, you can hit me up (you can hit me up)
Girl, you know I'm the one whenever you need something (whenever you need something)
An emergency, or when you just can't sleep (you just can't sleep)
I'll slide through for ya with that urgency right away
(Right, right, right away
Right, right, right away) right away
(Right, right, right away
Right now, right now) right away
(Right, right, right away) right away, yeah
(Right, right, right away)
When your back's against the wall
Baby, you know who to call
Ain't gotta call 911, you can hit me up (you can hit me up)
Girl, you know I'm the one whenever you need something (you need something)
An emergency, or when you just can't sleep (when you just can't sleep)
I'll slide through for ya with that urgency
I'll slide

Yes, I heard it from a TikTok and looked him up. I am a huge fan. His voice is so unusual compared to what he looks like. I was pleasantly surprised. Saw his television debut also. Go Teddy!
