Interview with Tenille Arts
Saskatchewan's\xa0Tenille Arts\xa0- now living in Nashville - has been nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year & Emerging Artist at the upcoming\xa0Saskatchewan Country Music Association Awards (April 24th).\xa0She's also one of the top 6 finalists in the\xa0CCMA Discovery Program\xa0this year.\xa0\n\nTenille - barely into her twenties - has\xa0an old country soul that began at the tender age of 8. Her neighbor overheard her singing in the backyard and recommended she enroll in vocal training. The classical voice training rounded out her piano lessons and dance training so she was completely immersed in music. She picked up the guitar and penned her first song at the age of 13 and has been performing across the country at various events ever since. Tenille did her first television show Karaoke Star Junior (Corus Entertainment) at 14. That was the first time she heard a judge comment: \u201cYou have powerhouse vocals and perfect pitch\u201d after singing Carrie Underwood\u2019s song \u201cJesus Take The Wheel\u201d. This would turn out to be one of many firsts for her.\n\nTenille lives by the motto: \u201cLife begins at the end of your comfort zone\u201d and a quote \u201c20 Seconds of Insane Courage\u201d. (She explains those inspiring quotes on the show.)\xa0That\u2019s all it took for her to completely change her life and decide to move to Nashville\xa0after signing a publishing deal with Noble Vision Music Group.\n\n\nTune in to hear about her busy year and you'll also get to hear her latest song called Breathe.
