Some say that stars are born and not created. With his natural vocal/performing talent, there is no question that he was born with the charm and charisma that characterizes the enduring musical giants of our time. Teddyson John is back by innate musical gifts, demonstrated through his competence as a drummer, keyboardist, percussionist and singer. An adeptness with a range of genres, ‘Teddy’ or ‘TJ’ is on his way to becoming a significant name in the sphere of popular Caribbean music.
It was from a challenge issued by Soul/R&B Diva Patti La Belle, headliner at St. Lucia Jazz Festivals some years ago, for a male to duo with her on one of her legendary hits. Teddy came, he sang and he conquered.
Today, some years down de road, he has the distinction of being the very first Groovy Soca Monarch in a time when competition was the furthest thing on his mind – moreso in the Soca arena. The release of ‘Coming Down De Road’ in the pre-carnival season worked to sideline all other open contenders for a Soca title.
Teddy’s performance savvy is just a bonus on top of winning personality, happy-spirited and huggable presence. His trademark soul sound never fails to have appeal among males and females alike.

At present, Teddy is signed with SLU RECORDS and is hard at work in their studios cooking up more hits. His first video is schedule to be release in October while his music stretches to carnivals around the world. He is also currently hard at work, leader of the Almond Resort Smugglers Cove resident band, lead vocalist of the Caribbean Jazz-Fusion band (Blue Mango) and the drummer of the Crossover-jazz band Soulfude (say Soul Food).
