ABOUT PLAY IT FORWARD

WHAT:
A 50 minute in-school presentation that uses music and story telling to spark interest, ignite change, and fuel passion while recognizing positive leadership efforts of our nation’s youth! Particular emphasis given to selfless, community-minded behavior that helps others; essentially, PLAYING IT FORWARD!

WHERE & WHEN:
The exciting launch of the Play It Forward tour took place in Tenille’s home province of Alberta between October 15 and November 09, 2012. This tour will continue across Canada throughout 2013. Tour dates to be posted soon!

WHO:
  • Tenille is the Youngest ever recipient of the 2012 CCMA Slaight Music Humanitarian Award.

  • Youngest ever Canadian Country Music Awards nominee for Female Artist of the Year in 2011.
  • Tenille’s ultimate goal is to make a difference with her passion for music.

WHY:

The future belongs to youth who believe in their dreams and have the ambition to make them reality.
Today’s youth hold the opportunity to prove that passionate actions can truly make a difference!!

WHAT ELSE:
During the show, Tenille and staff members of the school will call 1-3 pre-determined leaders out of the student body who will be recognized for their actions during the presentation. Each leader will receive $75 – this money is to be played forward to their school however they see fit! They will also be entered to win the mass draw at the end of the tour for the $10,000 prize package. $5000 of which is donated to a charity of choice the chosen leader is passionate about, and the other $5000 going towards the school of the drawn leader to be put towards a program that continues to play it forward through their hallways!

BIOGRAPHY

A gifted singer and songwriter with a huge charitable heart, 18-year-old Tenille has become an unstoppable force in Canadian country music. The Canadian Country Music Association has recently announced that she will be honored with the Slaight Music Humanitarian Award this year.

In 2011, she was awarded Alberta’s Female Artist of the Year and also nominated at the Canadian Country Music Awards as the youngest ever Female Artist of the Year. Tenille’s proudest achievement to date, however, has been founding, organizing, and hosting Big Hearts for Big Kids, a fundraiser that has raised more than $194,000 in the past three years for Grande Prairie’s Youth Emergency Shelter Society- the Sunrise House.

Tenille has also contributed to fundraising efforts for Slave Lake, Haiti, Canadian Cancer Relays, The Wounded Warriors Foundation, and she will be spending part of her summer with the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation, sharing her joy of music with the kids at the Kananaskis camp. With her new radio single “Starts With You” currently released and an exciting schedule of upcoming events, Tenille has found time to finish her graduating year of high school and is currently working with Nashville producer Fred Mollin on her sophomore album, to be released in early 2013.
