Born and raised in the small prairie town of Weyburn, Saskatchewan, Tenille Arts picked up the guitar and penned her first song at age 13 and has been performing nonstop ever since. She has racked up over half a billion streams and garnered over 750,000 digital followers in just a few years. Her critically-acclaimed Love, Heartbreak, & Everything In Between album yielded her first #1 single, the double platinum-certified ‘Somebody Like That’. The single made history as the first #1 Country song written, produced and performed by all females; the first Country song by a Canadian artist to reach #1 in the U.S. since 2007; and made Arts the first Canadian female to hit #1 since Terri Clark in 2004.
Her Girl To Girl album was released in 2021, and her single ‘Back Then, Right Now’ was her first to be released simultaneously in Canada and the U.S. New album to be honest leads with the stunning single, ‘So Do I’, written by Demi Lovato, Sasha Sloan, Laura Veltz and King Henry.
In 2022, Tenille was nominated for ACM New Female Artist of the Year, Best New Country Artist at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Female Video and Breakthrough Video of the Year at the CMT Awards; and won the MusicRow Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and the AIMP 2022 Rising Artist-Writer of the Year Award.
