From viral covers to global stages, Teddy Swims has become one of contemporary music’s most powerful voices — and he’s bringing his story to SXSW Sydney.
The GRAMMY®-nominated singer-songwriter will step onto the stage at ICC Sydney for an ‘In Conversation’ keynote with longtime manager and creative partner Luke Conway, offering an unfiltered look at one of the industry’s most remarkable artist journeys.
Together, Swims and Conway will unpack the highs, the hurdles, and the hard-won lessons from their meteoric rise — from small-town Georgia beginnings to chart-topping success. Expect insights into navigating mental health, the artist–manager bond that has kept their partnership rock solid, and the delicate balance of authenticity and ambition in a hyper-competitive industry.
Fresh from a three-night run at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, Swims will sit down with Conway to reflect on the path that led to his Billboard #1 single Lose Control and debut Top 20 album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part One). This is a rare chance to go behind the curtain of a career built not just on talent, but on trust, collaboration, and staying true to your roots.
