Summer Pack #2
To Be Honest. To the delight of festival-goers, the artist from Weyburn performed her big hit Somebody Like That. In April 2021, this song reached number one on the Mediabase Country Aircheck chart in the United States. This gave the young singer the first number one for a Canadian artist since Emerson Drive’s Moments in 2007. The artist was at the SaskArtists showcase tent on July 12 alongside Quinton Blair, Jarrid Lee and Chris Henderson, an intimate moment with a few festival-goers. For the entire month of July, Tenille Arts will be Spotify’s EQUAL Canada ambassador, meaning that she will get to take over the playlist and curate it with some of her favourite women musicians. One piece of advice Tenille gave to other women artists was the following: “No one really knows what they’re doing. Give yourself a little bit of grace, trust your gut and just keep going, because if you’re chasing anything, you’re already 10 steps behind so continue to be yourself and things will work out.” Spotify’s EQUAL Can-
ada focuses on spotlighting and celebrating the creations from women across Canada. According to the streaming service, “Tenille Arts embodies everything the EQUAL brand was created for; she is bold, her messages of empowerment are impactful and her talent is undeniable.” Tenille said in regard to this opportunity, “One way I’d love to see greater gender equality in the music industry is opportunities like this, give us the platform and you know we are going to show up and we will show you what we are capable of.” Tenille was also featured on a billboard in Toronto’s Yonge & Dundas Square over the weekend and will appear on a billboard in New York City’s iconic Time Square on July 17. Born and raised in Weyburn, Tenille picked up the guitar and penned her first song at the age of 13 and has performed across the U.S. and Canada ever since. Tenille’s music has tallied over eight million streams and her critically acclaimed Love, Heartbreak, & Everything In Between album yielded her first #1 single, “Somebody Like That,” which is certified double platinum.
