Teddyson John, MBE,[2] better known as Teddy or TJ, is a Saint Lucian brand ambassador,[3] singer and songwriter. He is also a keyboardist and percussionist.[4] John was Saint Lucia's first artist to win and be nominated for an International Reggae and World Music Award.[5][6]

John was born in a Christian family where his mom and dad were not musically inclined but some of his brothers were. However, John started singing and performing in church which would manifest in his days at the Sir Ira Simmons Secondary School. His first recording before he entered the Soca industry in 2007 was a gospel song entitled "Sweeter".[7][8]
