Reigning from Atlanta, GA, Grammy-nominated vocal powerhouse Teddy Swims (born Jaten Dimsdale) has been putting in real work for years. A quiet, steady grind brought him to the forefront with record-breaking songs, sold-out global tours, and iconic performances. With a voice that effortlessly blends R&B, soul, and pop, Swims captivates listeners with raw emotion, soulful resonance, and lyrics that explore love, loss, and self-discovery.

2024 marked a record year, with multi-platinum hits “Lose Control” and “The Door” from his debut album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1). “Lose Control” reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, became the longest-charting Hot 100 hit in history, and is now 6x Platinum with nearly 4 billion streams. The song topped five radio formats and earned him a spot in Spotify’s “Billions Club.” With over 9 billion streams across his catalogue, Swims continues to cement his place as one of music’s most powerful voices.

His breakout success earned him a 2025 Grammy nomination for Best New Artist and three 2025 BET Award nominations, including Best New Artist, Best Collaboration, and Best Male R&B/Pop Artist. Swims has also won multiple prestigious international awards, including: Best International Album and Best International Act at the Los 40 Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards for “Lose Control,” including Top Hot 100 Song and Top Radio Song.

He followed his debut album with Part 2, featuring standout singles “Bad Dreams,” “Guilty,” and “Are You Even Real” ft. GIVĒON. The journey continued with the Complete Edition, released June 27, 2025, expanding the project into a 32-track collection. The expanded album includes six new tracks, including “God Went Crazy,” “small hands” ft. Raiche, and “All Gas, No Breaks” ft. BigXThaPlug. Across the full project, Swims also collaborated with Muni Long, Coco Jones, and GloRilla.

Swims found himself on the path toward self-forgiveness when he began writing his debut album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) via Warner Records. Though he’s released music and toured the world since making his debut in 2019, the 32-year-old artist has spent much of the last four years crafting an album that would tell this story—his story—to the people who were ready to receive it.

An emotionally walloping and deeply resonant body of work released in multiple parts—much like Teddy’s own journey of self-discovery—I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Complete Edition is an album about diving headfirst into healing without any flotation devices. This collection finds Teddy working through some very big, very real issues through his music.

He has performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, CBS Mornings, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and The Brit Awards. His sold-out global tour has spanned Europe, South America, and the UK, with a massive headlining North American leg currently underway, and upcoming arena dates in Australia and New Zealand with his band Freak Freely.

Burgeoning pop artist Alex Warren is one of 2025’s breakout stars worldwide. Now boasting an impressive over 4.2B total career streams and over 54M monthly listeners on Spotify, his hit single “Ordinary,” released in February, recently certified Platinum by RIAA, is taking over the world. With over 1 billion streams and counting, the song leads at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for its 10th week and is the top selling song released in 2025 in the US by total units. It also spent 10 weeks as #1 on the Billboard Global 200 songs chart & Global 200 EX US chart and 13 weeks at #1 on the UK songs chart. “Ordinary” is also #1 at Top 40 Radio, and Hot AC Radio, currently holding the largest radio audience. Off the heels of the success of ‘Ordinary,’ Warren released his album You’ll Be Alright, Kid in July. The album features all the songs on You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), released last fall, alongside 10 entirely new tracks. Amongst these new tracks are Warren’s smash hit “Ordinary,” “Bloodline (with Jelly Roll),” and “On My Mind (with ROSE)”. While You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) focuses on dealing with grief, You’ll Be Alright, Kid turns the page with healing, resilience, and optimism. The album is #5 on the Billboard 200 chart and dominated across charts globally appearing #1 in the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, and Norway.

Alex has delivered soul bearing performances, making his award show debut at the 2025 American Music Awards and most recently taking the stage at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. He also made his late-night television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performed with Ed Sheeran in an underplay at Coachella and joined Jelly Roll during Stagecoach. Adding to his accolades, Alex was named Billboard’s January Chartbreaker with his track “Burning Down” with Joe Jonas joining for a reimagined version. The single marked Alex’s first time breaking onto the Billboard Hot 100, has now amassed over 185 million streams, and reached #1 on the global charts in 8 countries. He follows his record-breaking success with live shows as he recently wrapped his sold out, headlining “Cheaper Than Therapy” Global Tour, hitting 47 cities across Europe and North America. He extended the tour to add 15 more shows this fall.

In 2024, Warren released his acclaimed full-length debut album, You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), which instantly skyrocketed onto charts around the world. The album is further highlighted by Warren’s global success with another standout platinum certified track, “Carry You Home,” which has garnered over half a billion streams worldwide. Known for his vulnerable pop melodies, passionate vocals, and lyrical candor, Warren has won over fans with these deeply personal singles. He was named to People Magazine’s list of “Talented Emerging Artists Making Their Mark”, Sirius XM’s Artist Accelerator Program, named one of 2025’s artists to watch by both Tidal and Amazon Music and named an iHeart Radio “On The Verge” artist.

John K

John K crafts the kind of songs that stir your best memories, inspire strength, and remind you to live fully—with a smile. With big-screen ambition, intimate honesty, and infectious confidence, the Orlando-based multi-platinum singer-songwriter takes flight with his third studio album, SALT + LIGHT.

Since his emergence, John has earned 1.3 billion streams and 100 million video views across EPs and albums like if we never met [2019], love + everything else [2020], and in case you miss me [2021]. His breakout hit “if we never met” went double-platinum, and he’s collaborated with artists like Kelsea Ballerini, ROSIE, Don Diablo, and Jake Scott. Known for his magnetic stage presence and impeccable live vocals, he’s toured with OneRepublic and Marc E Bassy, performed for 15,000 fans in South Korea, and lit up NBC’s The TODAY Show. His music has earned praise from Billboard, MTV, Rolling Stone, and more.

“I’ve grown into becoming a father and a husband, and my music has grown with me,” he shares. “The goal is still timeless, story-driven songwriting, but now it’s for my wife, my family, and myself.”

SALT + LIGHT sees John pushing new boundaries. “I was challenging myself creatively. Fatherhood made me more present and efficient,” he explains. “Now, I create from a deeper, more intentional place.”

The album’s story starts with its title–”SALT + LIGHT lives in the contrast,” John observes. “Between stages and living rooms, applause and bedtime stories, chasing dreams and kissing boo boos. For the last four years, I’ve been building a life that’s deeply rooted in family. When I’m home, I’m all in. Present. Grounded. Fully theirs. And then I leave—to go chase the thing I’ve loved my whole life: music. I go on tour. I pour myself into rooms full of strangers. And that contrast—it’s beautiful and brutal. It stretches me. It makes me honest.”

Lead single “Honey” glides with funky bass and sweet harmonies. ““It’s about anxiety,” he reveals. “When you’re going through something heavy, you call somebody—whether it’s your mom, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, grandma, grandpa, or whoever. On the call, you’re safe and nothing can hurt you. ‘Honey’ is what my wife and I call each other. During an intense trip to L.A., I called her, and she said, ‘Honey, don’t worry about it’. I just felt better.”

“Never Been In Love” flashes with video game-style keys and anthemic energy. Inspired by a text to his wife, it celebrates love so powerful it eclipses the past.

“I texted my wife, ‘How did you feel when we first met?’ She wrote back in real-time and said, ‘Like I’ve never been in love before’,” he recalls. “It’s about meeting somebody and falling so hard that you forget everyone you met before because you want to live the rest of your life with this person.”

On “River,” gentle guitar and soft percussion support the truth, “Maybe that’s why there’s a waterfall at the end of the river.” John reflects, “Life is beautiful because it’s not forever. Be present. Enjoy the ride.”

Album closer “Love Of My Life” is an intimate acoustic ballad capturing the warmth of lasting romance, while highlight “Here’s The Plan” lays out a future grounded in love and intention. “It’s about knowing who you are and showing up for the people who matter most.”

John K is only shining brighter than ever now. “I want every word I’m singing to be believable,” he leaves off. “My biggest hope is to connect. I hope the tension, pain, growth, and love come out in this beautiful way. I want to write songs you can play at your wedding and keep coming back to for the rest of your life. I’m grateful for every day I get to pursue this. I’m taking notice of all the beauty around me, and I’m excited to bring this music to the world.”

American Authors

Since releasing their debut album Oh, What a Life in 2014, New York-based pop-rock outfit American Authors have experienced milestones most bands only dream about. They’ve watched their music climb to the top of the charts, and seen singles go multi-platinum. They’ve played awards shows, hit the stages of legendary venues all over the world, and toured the world with bands such as Andy Grammar, OAR, OneRepublic, The Revivalists, and The Fray. Their anthemic hit single “Best Day of My Life” has been featured in over 600 movie trailers, TV shows, commercials, and as a theme song for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Despite these accolades, however, lead singer Zac Barnett vows that the best day of their lives is still yet to come. “We just want to keep going,” he says. “We can’t wait to continue this adventure.”

Originally formed in 2006 at Berklee College of Music in Boston, American Authors – Zac Barnett [vocals/guitar], Dave Rublin [bass], and Matt Sanchez [drums] – eventually dropped out of college and moved to Brooklyn to continue refining their airtight songcraft.

“My whole reason for attending Berklee College of Music was to find other like-minded musicians to start a band with. I knew I had found those people after the first night we jammed,” claims Barnett.

Shortly after moving to Brooklyn, American Authors crossed paths with Shep Goodman while playing a gig in the city. Eventually signing with Goodman’s production company Dirty Canvas, the band wrote and recorded “Believer” and quickly saw the track thrown into rotation on Sirius XM’s Alt Nation radio. Their next song “Best Day of My Life” was featured in a commercial campaign for Lowes. Shortly after, American Authors inked a deal with Island Records.

“Boston was a great city to get our feet wet in but moving to Brooklyn completely changed our lives,” drummer Matt Sanchez explains. “Constantly surrounded by so many new creatives and artists fueled our music to a whole new level.”

By 2018, the guys had impressively generated over 1 billion global streams on a string of alternately striking and soaring smashes. Their inescapable and instantly recognizable breakthrough “Best Day of My Life” earned a triple-platinum certification from the RIAA and vaulted to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in addition to receiving countless film, television, video game, and sports syncs. Their 2014 full-length debut, Oh, What A Life, achieved gold status, while the follow-up What We Live For, spawned another Top 20 hit, “Go Big or Go Home,” in 2016. Along the way, they sold out shows around the globe and ignited stages at festivals, including Lollapalooza, Firefly Music Festival, BottleRock Napa Valley, Reading Festival, and Leeds Festival, to name a few.

“I don’t think anyone knew how special Best Day of My Life really was when we first wrote it,” bassist Dave Rublin reflects. “It just kept snowballing from TV to commercials then one day into a number one record.”

2021 and 2022 brought forth notable single collaborations with Santana & Rob Thomas (“Move”), Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray (“Nice & Easy”), CVBZ (“This Time is Right”), Chad Tepper (“Timeless”), and Fedde le Grand (“One Way Up”), followed by unique cover renditions of songs by Olivia Rodrigo (“good 4 u”) and Post Malone (“Circles”).  The band is putting the finishing touches on a new album due in early 2023, and just released the first single “Blind For Love”.

 Hot off of their critically acclaimed third album Seasons (2019), the band wasted no time getting back in the studio to record the Counting Down EP, released during the 2020 pandemic. The condensed album is at once a sonic adventure, an introspective on overcoming self-doubt, and a surging contemplation of hope and opportunity.

“We’ve never been afraid to explore new musical genres but we always try to maintain a message of hope in our music,” states Zac.

It all comes together to present a vision of the band that’s at once recognizable and unfamiliar. For while Barnett does think some of these songs “are even more in the genre of classic American Authors than a lot of other stuff we’ve done in recent history”, he also sees this EP as opening a new door and leaving the past behind.

“Nothing ever came easy for us,” Dave reveals. “We had this crazy dream and we had to do everything ourselves and keep working harder and harder every day to make those dreams a reality.”
