Teddy Swims was terrified to shift from covers to his own songs
You might know Teddy Swims as the Grammy-nominated artist behind the megahit Lose Control, which was the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024. Later this month, Swims will release the complete edition of his two-part debut album, I've Tried Everything But Therapy, which has already turned him into a global superstar. But despite his success, Swims hasn't always been confident about writing original music because he got his start performing cover songs on YouTube. On June 25, 2019, he uploaded his first video: a cover of Michael Jackson's Rock with You. "It was 10 years from Michael Jackson's passing," Swims recalls in an interview with Q 's Tom Power. "I was just like, 'Let's just upload it and let's sing it and put it up and see what happens.' And then sure enough, like overnight, it had 10,000 views…. I was in bands at the time, so we were writing all the time … but I didn't expect [cover songs] to be the thing that connected." WATCH | Teddy Swims's full interview with Tom Power: After the success of his first video, Swims gave himself six months to make it in the music business by spending all of his free time recording more YouTube covers. In October of 2019, he uploaded a tender and powerful cover of You're Still The One by Shania Twain, which went massively viral and ultimately landed him a record deal. Today, the video has more than 200 million views on YouTube. "Me and Luke, my manager, I remember our first trips to L.A. and New York and we're meeting with everyone," Swims tells Power. "We would never take flights or hotel rooms from them … because we wanted to convince them that, 'Oh, we got this amazing YouTube business … so we don't need any of you.' But this whole time, we're going to L.A. and we're sleeping on the floor of Luke's sister's house and we're really roughing it." WATCH | Teddy Swims - You're Still The One (Shania Twain Cover): Swims is now famous for writing soulful anthems about his personal experiences with toxic relationships and healing. But he says the transition to writing his own music felt "terrifying" because he was constantly comparing his songs to some of the greatest songs ever written. That's the most relatable thing — the thing that you think only you are going through. - Teddy Swims "I can see why so many people get stuck in a cover world where they never break out," he says. "It tore me up to be like, 'How the hell am I ever going to write a [ You're ] Still the One?'" The other challenge was that Swims didn't know at first how to write an authentic song that his fans could connect to in the same way as they did with his cover songs. "It turns out when you're trying to write something to be relatable, that is so not the relatable thing," he says. "I find that if you write things so, so super-ly specific about you, that's the most relatable thing — the thing that you think only you are going through, because it turns out everybody's going through the same damn thing." I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Complete Edition) is out everywhere on June 27.

Susan Yara: From newsrooms to skincare stardom – how one journalist built a beauty empire
The Curator independently decides what topics and products we feature. When you purchase an item through our links, we may earn a commission. Promotions and products are subject to availability and retailer terms. When Susan Yara speaks, there's a sense of clarity and purpose that feels earned – honed through years in front of the camera, behind the scenes and in the fast-paced world of beauty entrepreneurship. From broadcast journalism to founding the skincare brand Naturium, Yara's career reflects a rare mix of reinvention, intuition and grit. Today, she's one of the most influential voices in beauty, but her journey started in the world of hard news. From News to Digital Media Pioneer Yara began her career believing she'd be a traditional news reporter. After graduating, she landed her first role in New York City covering local news. But the rigid structure of hard news didn't quite fit. 'It just wasn't exactly what I liked,' she recalls. That realization led her to pivot into lifestyle journalism, landing at Forbes at a pivotal time – right as the publication was beginning its digital transformation. Story continues below advertisement Being part of Forbes' early push into dot-com media gave her a front-row seat to the evolving nature of content. From there, she went on to help build digital platforms for People, PopSugar and NewBeauty. The experience eventually inspired her to start her own venture: Mixed Makeup, a YouTube channel aimed at skincare and cosmetic education. Becoming the Brand When Yara first started Mixed Makeup, she approached it like a magazine. 'I wasn't thinking of myself as an influencer,' she explains. She focused on high-quality content, often featuring multiple people and treating herself more as a journalist than the face of the brand. But as influencer culture evolved, so did her strategy. Viewers wanted personality, relatability and consistency – and that meant more of her. 'At some point it really shifted where I became the personality,' Yara says. That personal branding move would eventually fuel her success – not only as a creator but also as a founder. Building Naturium Years of studying skin and beauty through content – and listening closely to her audience – led to a realization: there was a gap in the skincare market. High-performance products were either overpriced or under-delivering. People, including her own mother, were hesitant to use luxury skincare regularly for fear of 'wasting' it. Story continues below advertisement So she launched Naturium, a line of science-backed skincare products designed to be effective yet affordable. 'The only time you really see results with your skin is if you're consistent,' she explains. 'And to be consistent, you need products that you can afford to actually use.' More from The Curator Inside Bubble Skincare: Shai Eisenman's mission to make high-quality beauty affordable Her strategy was smart, data-driven and deeply rooted in community insight. Unlike brands that spend heavily on packaging and marketing, Yara poured 80% of Naturium's budget into the formulas. The goal? Deliver clinical-level skincare that people could trust – and afford. In 2022, Naturium was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty, a move that gave the brand global distribution power. 'We needed the power of a bigger company,' Yara says, pointing to the logistical challenges of scaling an indie brand. With Naturium now in major retailers like Shoppers Drug Mart and Amazon, the acquisition has only amplified what Yara and her team started. Despite the sale, she remains actively involved. 'They wanted us to stay on board and do exactly what we're doing – just with their help,' she says. The partnership has allowed her to keep building the brand's identity while expanding its reach. Marketing with Authenticity As someone with deep roots in digital strategy, Yara is refreshingly non-gimmicky when it comes to marketing. Naturium doesn't rely on flashy influencer campaigns; instead, it focuses on authentic word-of-mouth. 'We like to find people who naturally talk about the product,' she explains. Her team prioritizes micro-influencers, real customers and genuine reviews – often turning passionate user testimonials into paid ads. Story continues below advertisement This approach mirrors her own standards as a creator. 'I always needed to try a product and develop a real opinion before I could ever do a sponsorship,' she says. Breaking Beauty Myths One of Yara's biggest missions has been education. She challenges the idea that expensive skincare is inherently better and debunks misleading claims around 'medical grade' labels. Her content emphasizes consistency over quick fixes and ingredient efficacy over brand prestige. 'The truth is, skincare is just a cosmetic,' she says. 'It's not a prescription. You have to use it every day for at least six weeks before you see real results.' Finding Fulfillment in Impact Despite her high-profile career, Yara remains grounded by one simple reward: helping people. 'Almost every time I leave the house, someone tells me I helped change their skin,' she says. For Yara, that's the most fulfilling part of the job. Advice for Aspiring Creators and Entrepreneurs When asked for advice, Yara gets personal. 'People talk a lot about imposter syndrome, but if you're working hard, you deserve to be here,' she says. Her philosophy? Build relationships, embrace community over competition and trust your instincts. 'Nobody's success has ever stopped my success,' she adds. 'The more I support people, the more they support me.'
