Canada's Own: Tanya Marie Harris

Tanya Marie Harris admits to being somewhat of a late bloomer as far as Country Music goes. “Growing up, we listened to a lot of Rock more than anything. My mom never listened to Country – unless it was Patsy Cline,” she recalled of her formative years in Ontario Canada. However, a trip into the Southern United States changed all of that.

With “Second Hand Dreams” out at radio, Tanya Marie Harris turns her attention to her upcoming project release. “It will be a seven song EP, and four singles are available at the moment,” she says. It was exciting to go through all the songs, and see what stirred something in me. I had a couple of songs in mind, and ended up sitting down with a writer named David Norris, who brings a lot of substance to lyrics – he’s a deep thinker. We sat down and hit it off from the start. I told him that I wanted to write something that showed that I appreciate where I came from – not a man hating kind of song that was going at the time. From that, we developed the idea that by living my dream, I was living my family’s dream,” she said in discussing her single.
