Teddy Swims To Warner Chappell Music
In a joint statement, WCM SVP of A&R, Katy Wolaver and VP of A&R, David Goldsen, said, “Teddy has stayed true to himself every step of the way since we first met in 2020, and now he’s one of the most important new artists in music. His timeless voice, incredible knack for songs, and unrelenting work ethic make him such an exciting songwriter for us, and we’re so happy he’s chosen Warner Chappell as his publishing home.”
Ryan Press, WCM President, North America, added, “We’re super proud to be working with Teddy as he takes on this next chapter. He’s in a league of his own with one of the most unique voices we’ve heard in a while, and his music both moves and inspires people of all backgrounds. Here’s to many more No. 1’s!”

Swims, who had just found out his platinum-certified single “Lose Control” had taken over the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, was overcome with emotion while hanging out with four puppies. Unbeknownst to Johnjay, Swims had recently lost his dog in a tragic accident and the puppies did their best to cheer him up. Watch the video below or click HERE.
