Early Life and Education

Born Jaten Dimsdale on September 25, 1992, in Conyers, Georgia, Swims was introduced to the world of music early on.

In 2019, alongside his friend Addy Maxwell, Swims opened for singer Tyler Carter on tour. That same year, he began uploading cover performances to YouTube, featuring songs by icons like Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Lewis Capaldi, and Shania Twain. These covers garnered significant attention, earning him a record deal with Warner Records by the year’s end.

Rise to Fame

Swims released his first major label single, “Picky,” in early 2020, followed by a string of covers and the single “Broke” in the summer. His debut EP, “Unlearning,” arrived in 2021, featuring tracks like “Til I Change Your Mind” and “Bed on Fire.” Later that year, he unveiled the holiday-themed “A Very Teddy Christmas.” His third EP, “Tough Love,” released in early 2022, marked his first appearance on the Billboard 200, peaking at the 200th spot.
