Teddyson John is living proof that every fault is a fashion. The St Lucian soca star has built a thriving music career not in spite of his speech impediment, but because of it. His signature heavy-tongued chorus chants of “Allez, Allez, Allez” and “Parlez, Parlez, Parlez” are legendary in soca music.
“My teeth eh touching at all,” Teddyson cackled during an entertaining WhatsApp chat with the Kitcharee last Tuesday.
“I’ve always had a lisp. My thing is to embrace what God has given me, that’s what makes me different.”
Teddyson believes that working within your limitations can help unlock your full potential.
“I embrace it and that’s who I am. I have a lisp. I say ok that’s what God give me and that’s what I’m using and that’s what makes Teddyson stand out. I don’t worry about it, I’ve accepted it and that’s what makes me who I am. So, I’m great!” he exclaimed.
Make no mistake, Teddyson John is much more than his trademark lisp. The talented singer and songwriter is a master at crafting memorable phrases and hitting flawless vocal runs. Fans will soon experience that creative talent again in his upcoming album. Read More
