I think his father played a HUGE role here, it’s so beautiful to see he gave him permission.
I wasn’t familiar with Teddy Swims before this interview. His spirit is amazing. Thanks for choosing to interview him.

The first time I heard "lose control" I was in the gym. I never carry my phone with me there. I HAD CHILLS, felt something really deep and emotional, I ended up running around asking strangers to Shazam the song for me, it was akward and people looked at me not really nicely but I couldn't let that song end without knowing WHO THAT MAN WAS😍
I had the pleasure of meeting and seeing him live many times. This dude is the real thing. So happy he’s getting the recognition and paise he deserves.
Believe in the power of your intentions; your thoughts have the power to shape your reality !

Be receptive to the blessings and opportunities that God brings your way!
Absolutely, King! When we love without taking advantage, it means we prioritize the well-being and happiness of others over our own desires or interests. It's about treating people with kindness, respect, and empathy, without expecting anything in return. It's about fostering healthy and equal relationships where both parties feel valued and supported. By practicing love without taking advantage, we create a positive and nurturing environment for ourselves and those around us. It's a beautiful way to cultivate meaningful connections and make a positive impact in the world.

Love this man's heart and soul. It must be a GA thing. I just found out that he is from Conyers which is where my logistics manager lives and his parents live in Loganville where my best friend lives. I am manifesting my family's move to FL in August. I made the decision at the end of April that we were making the move. Told my landlord that we are moving out 1 yr after signing our lease. Staying with my mom for 3 months to get her set before we move out of state for the next 2 years. now getting the details settled with moving my family and business out of state. Everything is flowing like it's a move that's meant to be. This is scary as hell but exciting at the same time. So very happy for him that his dreams have come true. The Door....the first time I heard it....got me pumped and now it is my theme song for this life change. Thank you!
What a wonderful human!❤
What a humble, honest and a beautiful human he is! Never heard of Teddy before, thanks Lewis for such an introduction!

Love Teddy! Ty very much for this interview. Its a blessing to get to know him on a deeper level. I seen him in kc a couple years ago and we could submit questions online before the concert. I asked about his relationship with his grandfather (preacher). Figured he would give generic answer but he didn't. Spoke around five minutes about it. It was cool. Love this interview, you asked great questions.
Enjoyed this interview immensely. Teddy is such a great guy. Love his music. Please have him back again. Much love Teddy wish you all the best. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Beyond beautiful!!! So many struggle and live a life of hardship and no support and this man has been loved unconditionally, supported blindly and here’s the lesson.. love, support and care is pure and that’s what drives us the most.. the haters push you, but supporters and love pulls you. That would be my one wish, that everyone gets the support they need and deserve!! What a beautiful world that would be.,

You should interview Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach.
Teddy, I hope your record deal was a really good one, because you would have made it with out a record deal, and you would have way more power. Tom Mc Donald for instance....
I'm going to be honest here. Teddy Swims, ....not a fan of the music. However, I may have just found a likeability in the person. It seems strange for someone who expresses so much emotional intelligence to be unsure and almost afraid of being changed by going to therapy. At 42 I have just started going to therapy myself, mainly because I now have insurance that covers 85% of it, but also because I reached the reality that even therapists see therapists. Nobody is above seeking therapy. It's an awesome way to hear yourself and get new perspectives on life's challenges as well as reset your focus for your personal goals. Highly recommend taking that leap! It will only change you in the areas you're ready to change because you still have to make the changes. LOVE the mention of artists finding an ability to create from a healed place of flourishing. My GOSH, YES we need more of this. I hate that the difference genre's of music are so stereotyped to lyrical content and appearances and not just sound. I REALLY hope to see these barriers busted down. I want more triumphant music or songs about deeply loving and enjoying the mundane things in our everyday lives.
