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.
Tenille – Starts With You – Lyric Video

TENILLE/ JOHN LANDRY SUPPORT WOUNDED WARRIORS – REMEBERANCE DAY!

 TENILLE with special guest John Landry
release HOME NOW
and support Wounded Warriors

 

Toronto, Canada. CCMA Nominee Tenille entered her Junior-High school social studies class a few years ago, where politics and the plight in Afghanistan were topics of discussion. The experience resonated with the artist and inspired her to write HOME NOW – a young girl’s thoughts about her father serving overseas.

In time for Remembrance Day, HOME NOW, featuring Juno Nominee and multi award winner John Landry — also a Canadian Air Force pilot — is being released with a portion of each digital download from itunes supporting, Wounded Warriors.ca, a not for profit registered Canadian charity that assists Canadian Forces members who have suffered visible and non visible injuries.

“We are constantly approached to have artists and their music align with us,” said Captain Wayne Johnston, founder of Wounded Warriors.ca, “and for various reasons the requests are turned down. When we were approached about Tenille, and the background of how HOME NOW was written, we listened. Here is a young Canadian student that was impacted by the current events of the world and translated that into a song; and that song is very real for all of us that have served. Tenille’s initiative in supporting Wounded Warriors through the sale of each itune download is to her credit. We are honoured to be working with her.”


 Lest we forget.
