Hi, this is Sarah Harrelson, your host of Taking a Walk Nashville. Born and raised in a small prairie town in Canada, Tenille Arts picked up the guitar and penned her first song at age 13, and has been performing non-stop ever since. She has racked up nearly a billion streams, garnered over 750,000 digital followers, and her critically acclaimed Love, Heartbreak and Everything in Between album yielded her first number one single, Somebody Like That, which is certified double platinum. This single made history as the first number one country song written, produced, and performed by all females, and was the first country song by a Canadian artist to reach number one in the US since 2007. Her 2024 14-song To Be Honest album leads with the stunning single So Do I, written by Demi Lovato, Sasha Sloan, Laura Veltz, and King Henry. In 2022, Tenille was nominated by the ACM Awards for New Female Artist of the Year, the iHeartRadio Music Awards for Best New Country Artist, and CMT Music Awards for Female Video and Breakthrough Video of the Year.
