Born John Theodore Geiger II, "Teddy" Geiger found success as a solo artist in 2006 with "For You I Will (Confidence)" and "These Walls". Geiger later made it big by writing songs for Shawn Mendes, Maroon 5, 5 Seconds of Summer, and One Direction. Things changed for Teddy in 2017, when Geiger came out as transgender and started hormone therapy to covert to being a woman. Still using the name Teddy, she told People Magazine that as early as age five, she looked into a mirror and felt and wished she was a woman. Most recently, Geiger found love with actress Emily Hampshire who plays Stevie on Schitt's Creek.
Phil Collins, Elton John, and Gloria Estefan dominated Adult Contemporary radio back in the 1980s and '90s, yet have disappeared from modern radio. Seemingly, the only time you ever hear them is at the grocery store or your local CVS. This blog remembers the music, the stories and the quirky characters from my days working in Adult Contemporary radio.
