From Small Town Dreams to Over 2 Billion Streams! Uncut with Teddy Swims

Hey Lifers!

Today’s guest is someone that Britt is completely convinced she manifested on to the podcast!
Teddy’s voice has been the sound track to her relationship hard launch, her engagement and also her wedding first dance! Teddy is the superstar singer songwriter behind hits like ‘Lose Control’ which has over 2 billion streams on Spotify, ‘Bad Dreams’ and ‘The Door’. He also has a brand new song out with our friend Tones and I and David Guetta!  He’s currently touring around Australia, playing sold-out arena shows! But behind the tattoos and the big voice is just a salt of the earth guy who really hustled his way into the music industry. 

We chat about:

• The first time Teddy ever heard his song ‘Lose Control’ on the radio from a service station bathroom where he had in fact ‘lost control’
• Teddy’s upbringing with Christian pastor grandparents and great male influences
• Teddy’s mum crying when he said he wanted to stop playing football and do musical theatre
• Whether he was ever pressured by record labels to ‘be’ a certain way or change the music he was making
• The hustle and not being an overnight success
• Writing from heartbreak v writing from a place of happiness
• Teddy experiencing his first ‘slow burn’ love 
• Becoming a father and it changing his purpose in life
• Teddy being into manifestation
• Teddy’s ‘made it moment’ being quite unusual and it involves spy kids
• What it was like performing at the NRL grand final
• What Teddy thought of Britt's wedding dance
