Pop star turned swimmer turned actor Cody Simpson claims his time in the pool improved his vocals. From freestyle to footlights, he's making waves.
Former teen pop prince turned Olympic wannabe, Cody Simpson, is back—and apparently, swimming laps in chlorinated regret has turned him into a better singer. Who knew chasing gold medals could also improve vocal range? +SBS, +News.com.au Cody, who dropped the mic for goggles in 2020, joined Australia’s elite swimming squad and even came close to qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics.
Now, after years of 5am pool sessions and staring at lane ropes, he says his voice is stronger, more mature, and “better than ever.” Which is a pretty bold claim considering half of Gen Z still thinks he’s that guy who opened for Justin Bieber. His return to music was confirmed at the Tamworth Country Music Festival—yes, country—which is both unexpected and deeply Aussie.
Cody’s now serving heartfelt lyrics, acoustic guitars, and just a splash of Olympic humility. Think Keith Urban meets chlorine. Fans are divided: some are thrilled to see the comeback, while others are just now realising he left. But love him or scroll past him, Cody’s rebrand is in full swing—and he’s betting that his comeback tour won’t sink like a bad butterfly stroke.
