Bobby on Tenille Arts Vulnerable Instagram Post + We Revisit on Her 1st Appearance on the BobbyCast: Performing on the Bachelor, Growing Up on A Wheat Farm and her Top 3 Life Moments

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Welcome to a special episode of The Bobbycast. It's an episode in case you missed it. And usually this happens because Mike and I are like, you know what, interview was great and we haven't heard from in a while.

00:00:11
Speaker 2: And then we just play it.

00:00:12
Speaker 1: And sometimes people don't want to scroll all the way down and find like an old Chris Stapleton interview, you know. Yeah, So this one's a little different. I was at the airport and I was flying back from Utah. I was it a speaking deal there and I see Tanil Arts and what she had posted on her Instagram story. Now, till Art, let me play a number one song. You hit that one? So I like Tnail Arts. I don't know where super well, but we've had her on The Bobbycast a couple of times, so I'll read you her Instagram story. I was so intrigued. I do not know what it means, but I kind of want to reset everybody because it sounds like it could be dramatic. Yeah, go to bad. I don't know what it is. I mean, it could be something, So let me read the story. We'll get to it. To Neil Arts on Instagram.

00:00:53
Speaker 2: Rights.

00:00:53
Speaker 1: This is in the last few days before we get to an old episode and some thoughts. She writes, to be honest, I haven't been completely honest with all of you. The last two years have been really tough, and I'm done hiding what I've been through. Get ready for some real content and a real look into my life. I have videos, I have pictures, I have receipts, I have stories. I have the blank receipts. So I'm not hiding anything and holding anything back anymore. The people who treated me like s know who they are, and I hope they see this. If you even question whether this is about you, it is welcome to the new era and the new me. To my amazing fans, You're on my lifeline. I love you so so much. You have always been there for me, and I'm so grateful for you. More to come than she puts a heart. It's pretty intense. Yeah, pretty dramatic, and it could be a whole line of things. I mean, it could be some serious like traumatic stuff, or it could be an X, or it could it could be business.

00:01:43
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:01:44
Speaker 1: At first, I thought it was like with their record label, because she did leave her other record I did to it first. He got the rights to her songs, and I thought it was that, But the whole keeping receipts thing like that seems like a personal thing. I have videos, I have pictures, I have texts, I have stories, I have the receipts. Yeah, so we don't know what it is. I haven't reached out to her because I don't know her well enough to be like, what are you talking about? Yeah, I want to do though we had her on for the first time back in twenty nineteen.

00:02:07
Speaker 2: Was she the first person to ever bring her instrument in?

00:02:09
Speaker 1: First person bring her guitar? She and she came in and she had her case, and I thought maybe she'd come from a right or a show and she was like, here, men play, and she was just like, I want to show that I can play with no little studio special effects. And she was good. So I wanted to go back to that. So she talked about how she grew up on a wheat farm, how she moved to Nashville after being discovered online. She went on The Bachelor twice to perform, and again she had her guitar. You can check out her new single called Jealous of Myself featuring Lene Rhymes.

00:02:38
Speaker 2: What a paternal Leeann rhymes fighting.

00:02:40

Speaker 1: H pretty good.

00:03:01
Speaker 2: I was looking at your Instagram. You have a lot of followers.

00:03:04
Speaker 1: I do. Where is that? What's the deal?

00:03:06
Speaker 2: Where did that come from?

00:03:07
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean I've been on social media for a really long time and on YouTube, and yeah, I've just been like really trying to keep up the online presence.

00:03:15
Speaker 1: I was doing a little deep dive about you and I had seen that you were on The Bachelor twice.

00:03:20
Speaker 2: Not as a contestant, although that'd be a good story too, but.

00:03:23
Speaker 1: You played how do you? How do you land getting on the Bachelor? To play?

00:03:28
Speaker 3: Well? My manager had been sending my music into them for a really long time and they just came across some of my music that they loved. The first song was called Moment of weakness and it pretty much sounded like we had written it for the show. So it worked out really well, and I performed on a one on one date.

00:03:43
Speaker 2: Do you remember who it was?

00:03:45
Speaker 3: It was Ari and Chelsea.

00:03:47
Speaker 2: Okay, so, Mike, do you know who Ari is? I do? Okay, help me out.

00:03:52
Speaker 1: Good looking dude.

00:03:53
Speaker 2: I think it's like kind of great hair.

00:03:54
Speaker 1: Right, Oh yeah, no, okay, So I got it and that was the season. I don't really watch the show. I don't hate people to do. By the way, don't get mad a him Bachelor Nation. He's the one that was like he broke up with the girl at the end of the season.

00:04:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, he kicked someone and then broke up with her and then picked the second place girl.

00:04:11
Speaker 1: Like, no, that I could admire anyone that kind of is not status quo on that show. I like, okay, so you played for him and Chelsea? Did they stay together?

00:04:20
Speaker 3: No?

00:04:20
Speaker 2: Was it your song? Was that the reason they didn't stay together?

00:04:22
Speaker 3: I hope not. No, she left She had a kid, so she wanted.

00:04:27
Speaker 1: To get on the show as they were dancing on the.

00:04:30
Speaker 3: Not on the show, but I think she wanted to get back to her son. So I think she ended up leaving the show.

00:04:35
Speaker 1: So tell me what that's like then playing do you have played over and over and over again for the cameras.

00:04:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, we played a few times. It's like, definitely a surprise for the girl. I think the bachelor knows that this is going down because I think he has like a hand in picking the dates. But the girl was completely surprised when she walked in. And we played the song a couple of times for them to get their shots and everything. But then we play it again multiple times, and.

00:04:59
Speaker 1: That makes sense so they can shoot you, Yeah.

00:05:01
Speaker 3: So they can get close ups and stuff. But it was really awkward because nobody told me if I should look at the cameras or not. So I just found myself staring at the couple dancing and making out and it was so awkward. I did not know what to do. It was Yeah, that was that.

00:05:16
Speaker 1: But so let me hear some of this moment of weakness and I'm gonna imagine a couple dancing right.

00:05:23
Speaker 3: Money.

00:05:30
Speaker 1: That is quite a bachelor song, yeah, because you're basically begging them to make out right there. Yeah, you're playing this song like, all right, have your moment weakness, right, you're on camera, so we can document it.

00:05:39
Speaker 2: Okay, So you go on the show and I would.

00:05:41
Speaker 1: Imagine, because I've had some friends go on that show and play, there's a nice pop with your music the day after it airs. Oh yeah, so that was pretty cool.

00:05:47
Speaker 3: Right, that was really cool. That had a huge part to do with my social media and just my music getting out there in general.

00:05:54
Speaker 1: So but then you go back again. Yeah, so they're like, hey, you riveted our couple so much, we want you to bring that back for another couple. Is that what happened the next time?

00:06:04
Speaker 3: I don't know. They're just like they became a fan of my music and they wanted to help me out as a new artist. And I think it's really cool and kind of unexpected to be a part of something like The Bachelor, Like you wouldn't think that's a great way to promote your music, but it kind of is. I mean, there's a lot of people that watch that show, and it's like the perfect age for my music. So they asked me to come back.

00:06:24
Speaker 1: So you go back and then you play.

00:06:25
Speaker 3: For this one was Coulton and Elise.

00:06:28
Speaker 1: Okay, now if I remember they're not together, No, you're ope for two. I'm just telling you your success right on this show is not great for the couple staying together.

00:06:36
Speaker 3: I've played really early on in the show, so I feel like, you know, you never know what's gonna happen at that point.

00:06:42
Speaker 2: So Colton and Elise and what are they doing?

00:06:46
Speaker 1: Like eating?

00:06:46
Speaker 3: Date?

00:06:47
Speaker 1: Oh?

00:06:47
Speaker 2: Dancing?

00:06:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was in a big theater in La so there was actually an audience there.

00:06:53
Speaker 1: Okay, so a little more natural way more naturalist time. So you're playing in a theater And how does that part of me for not knowing this, how did they set that up? Do they fake like they're walking in on a show or they're both big tan Neil Arts fans?

00:07:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes they do it like that.

00:07:08
Speaker 1: Not that they be faking it, but I work.

00:07:10
Speaker 2: I do a lot of TV too, and we.

00:07:11
Speaker 1: Faked a lot of stuff, not not originally, but in order to redo it again and again and again, we have to sometimes go all right, let's shoot this again. Yeah, so they walk in like, oh, yeah, we're big fans of ten Neil Arts.

00:07:22
Speaker 2: Let's go Is that what it was?

00:07:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically that's what That's what happened. It was like a surprise for the girl and everything. But she ended up messaging me like right after that episode and was like, I'm gonna remember that night forever. I love your music. So she definitely like dove into my music after that, and.

00:07:38
Speaker 2: So and then there you have it.

00:07:40
Speaker 1: Yea to you need one more though, You gotta get on a successful you gotta get on a couple of stays together. Yeah, right right now, you're the Clayton Kershaw of.

00:07:49
Speaker 2: The Bachelor.

00:07:50
Speaker 1: It's just not working out for you so far. Yeah, that's pretty cool though.

00:07:52
Speaker 2: They brought you back. And what song did you do there?

00:07:54
Speaker 1: Well?

00:07:55
Speaker 3: It ended up being a song called I Hate This, which was a breakup song, which you predicted.

00:08:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do like that song this, I hate the song I've programmed into the iHeart the women of Buy Heart Country Show.

00:08:05
Speaker 2: That's a good one. Not that the other one wasn't. I just had never heard it. I like this one a lot.

00:08:11
Speaker 1: Fast. When you hear your own music, you kind of bob your head and you still do you like listening to your own music?

00:08:21
Speaker 3: I do?

00:08:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because when we played that, I felt like you kind of felt that a little bit.

00:08:26
Speaker 3: Yeah. I immediately started thinking about when I wrote it and who it's about, and yeah, I go there every time.

00:08:33
Speaker 1: So you wrote that as okay good. It's a perfect segue into this. We have a lot of songwriters that come on the show, which you are obviously, yeah, and they talk about songs. So let's talk about this song specifically. How long ago did you write.

00:08:43
Speaker 3: It would have been like a year and a half ago.

00:08:47
Speaker 2: Oh, still pretty fresh.

00:08:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty new. And it's funny because when I had originally written it, I wasn't going through a breakup or anything like. I was kind of imagining what that would be like and everything, and then I went through a breakup and that song it was so hard to go out and sing that song at every show.

00:09:04
Speaker 1: So a song that you didn't write about your breakup ended up being hard to sing because later on you went through a breakup. Yeah, that's kind of a Mike. We've never heard a story like that, right, I know, like they write a song and then it comes back into their life about their life the breakup, and then it's hardest thing about that.

00:09:17
Speaker 2: But yeah, not around like Carl when.

00:09:19
Speaker 1: She would come answers like, yeah, I wrote every little thing, and you know, I would play and think about the breakup every time. But you didn't break up with the song. It just came back to haunt you later. It did interesting. So do you write the song and you did you write it about the boyfriend you had at the time, and at least, like, did you predict That's why it was.

00:09:36
Speaker 2: You're predicting the breakup, aren't you.

00:09:38
Speaker 3: It wasn't that far before we ended up breaking up, So I think that I had a little bit of that in my mind. But I always try to like take from personal experiences or try to imagine what it would be like if I was going through that.

00:09:49
Speaker 1: You wrote you wrote this with a guy named Adam Wheeler. Yeah, so you guys hop in a room together, and how does.

00:09:53
Speaker 2: That work with you?

00:09:54
Speaker 1: You go, hey, I got this idea, I'm probably gonna break up with this dude, Like, how does that work? I didn't say, Okay, go ahead.

00:10:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it was. I had written a lot with him around that same like time period, so we knew what was going on in each other's lives and and he knew that things were like a little bit rocky in my relationship, and he had talked about some of his past relationships and we really just kind of dove into it and the song. It's weird because the song isn't really about like a breakup. It's about that time period right after you break up where you don't know if you're gonna end up getting back together or if you're just gonna actually stay broken up. Because I feel like there's a little bit of hope during that time where you still love that person and you still think maybe you know, something might work out, but then you know eventually you have to deal with the fact that okay, maybe it really is over.

00:10:44
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that for a second away from music. Like most times, let's still a little public service announcement. It doesn't work out. If you're gonna break up, it doesn't work out. I'll tell you from my experience, you feel like you know it might work out, let's give it another try. But I'm gonna say probably like ninety three percent of the time, if you break up and you're like, m maybe we should give it a try, because it could, it's.

00:11:06
Speaker 3: Not going yeah, because I think once you break up, you think that those those things will maybe like work themselves out, and then when you get back together it'll just be like a fresh start. But it's not. There's still like all of those things that you all of those issues I guess that you had.

00:11:19
Speaker 1: Before you know what you should do. This is maybe a lesson for you.

00:11:23
Speaker 2: A little bit younger than I am, or anyone.

00:11:24
Speaker 1: Watching this or listening to this, if you're struggling in your relationship and you don't know really what to do to make it work. Have a baby, Oh my gosh, wouldn't you say that's a good one, Mic, Yeah, I just have a baby. Then you're stuck and you have to make it work. Yeah, every problem?

00:11:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say, yeah, fixes fixes all the problems.

00:11:45
Speaker 1: You don't agree with that. Why don't we do somebody like that? Which is this is the single?

00:11:52
Speaker 2: Now it is?

00:11:52
Speaker 1: Okay?

00:11:53
Speaker 2: Here is somebody like that?

00:12:01
Speaker 4: Don't I'm gone? All right?

00:12:10
Speaker 3: All right? Well I wrote this one after writing a ton of breakup songs. I was like, I'm done, Like, I'm done writing these breakup songs. I want to start looking for somebody again. I want to, you know, start putting myself out there. So I got in the writing room with Alex Klein and Alison Veltz and we were just kind of reflecting on relationships that we had seen go really well, like looking at our parents, looking at our grandparents, you know, just kind of those relationships that we idolized as kids and looked up to. And you know, I have a lot of great relationships in my life, and I feel like we just looked back on, you know, maybe love that we had or love that went really well, love that went bad, and just kind of looking for the right kind of love this time and not settling until we find it.

00:13:00
Speaker 2: And how long ago did you write this song?

00:13:01
Speaker 3: This one would have been about six months ago.

00:13:04
Speaker 1: And did you predict the future? Much like you predicted the demise of the Bachelor, you'd make this song, and did somebody like that come along? They predicted the future. That's what you need to do. You need to write more song predicting, predicting future songs. Yeah. My therapist says, you got to like see the good stuff to you, But then I do when it never happens, So then I started seeing the bad stuff again. You have an accent, which is interesting, Yeah, a bit of a not so much of a Canadian one, a little bit. I dated a Canadian girl for a long time, so I'm very experienced with the Canadian talk. And your your your little hybrid English French a type language, but just a little country accent too.

00:13:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what, like, what tell me about like a town you grew up in.

00:13:50
Speaker 3: I grew up in a really small town in Saskatchewan in Canada, and my dad's a wheat farmer, so we grew up like in the small town. But then we also had the family farm, so I spent a lot of time out there.

00:14:03
Speaker 1: And there's a wheat farmer huh, Yeah, what is that entail day to day?

00:14:07
Speaker 3: I mean, for us being in Canada, there's like a very short.

00:14:12
Speaker 1: Like a week right where it's warm enough to grow anything.

00:14:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it pretty much starts like end of May June, and harvest time is like September October.

00:14:20
Speaker 1: So is it vaca? Is it like snow vacation? They're all the rest of the year as a wheat farmer.

00:14:23
Speaker 3: Well, my dad had another job that he worked that whole time as well. But yeah, I guess for most people or they've got like cattle or something, but we don't.

00:14:32
Speaker 1: It's a wheat farmer in Canada. I didn't think about that, Like when I flew to Toronto, which, by the way, I don't know what's in the water up there, but you guys are way too nice and I enjoy it. I enjoy it. But even with my ex girlfriend, she's way too nice and that will be like, why are you being so nice to me all the time. But it was just a natural. It was just like in you guys's blood. And I didn't really realize that until I went to Toronto and people would just like stop on the road and talk to me. And this is Toronto too, which is very metropolitan by it really close to New York, and you would think would be a little different than than you know, Saskatchewan or Vancouver or a lot of these other places that I was familiar with. But people were just like, hey, Sarah, and I'd be like, what's up? Would you like a dollar? Not asking for the homeless. People were offering me money in Canada. It was so different than here, and the States were like going to get a dollar. They were like, so I don't have much, but why don't you have my last dollar? Canadians are nuts, man, It's awesome. So it was my point with all that, Mike, Canadians really nuice. Yeah, I feel like I was onto something there, but so your dad, Oh, but oh, my point is I was flying in and I would see golf courses in Canada, and.

00:15:36
Speaker 2: I was like, what week do you get to play golf here?

00:15:39
Speaker 1: Yeah? It's so cold all the time. And so you're do you have tractors?

00:15:45
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:15:45
Speaker 1: Okay? And how big was this wheat farm?

00:15:48
Speaker 3: People always ask me this and I always forget to ask him how big it is? But I mean, we've got a lot of land.

00:15:54
Speaker 1: Do we need to call your dad and ask? I might have to because we have a phone connected right there, we can call your dad. Do we want to get your dad on the phone. I mean I'll call him. Okay, they'll don't press me. Hey, Mike, can you call her dad? Okay, We're gonna call her dad and see if he'll even just answer the phone.

00:16:09
Speaker 2: All right, what's he doing?

00:16:11
Speaker 4: Is he?

00:16:11
Speaker 1: Is he? What is today?

00:16:13
Speaker 3: Today's Yeah, they're trying to harvest right now.

00:16:15
Speaker 1: But it just knows you're gonna get interrupted by a phone call and his daughter. Has your dad ever been an interview before?

00:16:19
Speaker 3: No?

00:16:20
Speaker 1: Okay, it's first, Okay, is it gonna be very nervous. Yeah, we're gonna plug the phone up something. We have this phone here to Neil and so we sometimes we'll do phone interviews if people are in Los Angeles. Are you freaked out about your dad being on Well, I'm.

00:16:32
Speaker 3: Just like he never answers his phone, So we might go through all of this or nothing.

00:16:35
Speaker 1: That's all right. We didn't say we didn't try, right, Mike, and this, Mike, this phone rings all that I'll be because this is my house, which, by the way, if you're a dog barking and you're listening to this, it's because I have a bulldog puppy and I put him away for this interview, but I can hear him barking downs. Do you hear him barking? No? No, he does this sometime, bring him out, but he's so cute. That's all he does. And so this this phone. As soon as we bought the line to start calling people, it rings. It'll be one o'clock in the morning.

00:17:05
Speaker 3: Oh is it just like random?

00:17:06
Speaker 1: It's like people trying to sell me stuff? Oh yeah, I thought it would be like Jana Kramer, who we call on it like, what up?

00:17:12
Speaker 2: No, it's it's some people trying to sell me stuff.

00:17:14

Speaker 3: It was actually it had a lot to do with The Bachelor. I performed on Did That without a label? The first time I've performed it was, yeah, completely without a label. And we were having like a viewing party for the episode here in Nashville, and we had Gator from Reviver Records come out to the show because I played like a little set before the episode aired, and it was pretty instant, like I met with him and the whole team, and I was just like, this feels like a perfect place for me.

00:19:11
Speaker 2: Well good for you?

00:19:12
Speaker 1: Yeah wow.

00:19:13
Speaker 2: And so then you become a millionaire soon as you get signed.

00:19:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course that's that's how it works, right, you're just loaded. Yeah, Michae, if we don't get him this time, we'll just give it a rest for a bit, No luck, No, look, okay, that's all right, We're still gonna get Heim's gonna text her. He maybe listened. Will you listened to this? Yeah?

00:19:29
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he he loves to listen to Like I'll be home and I'll hear him watching and listening to my YouTube videos.

00:19:36
Speaker 1: I'm like, Dad, I'm right here, super supportive dad. Yeah. Yeah.

00:19:39
Speaker 2: So what about your mom?

00:19:40
Speaker 1: They still together? Yeah? Okay?

00:19:41
Speaker 2: And what does she do?

00:19:43
Speaker 3: She used to work as a lab tech in the hospital, but she is was a stay at home mom for my entire life.

00:19:48
Speaker 1: A lab tech like needles, Yeah, you know. I had a cousin once who was training to be a lab tech and she said, Hey, I need to borrow you for needle practice. And I was like, first of all, that's not gonna have and I don't do needles very well. That she was like, I need to do needles in your knuckles because apparently they have to learn if they can't get it from your arm, they have to draw it from your knuckles, and so I don't do I didn't let her do it, obviously, but I didn't know you could draw a needle from knuckles me either. Does your mom draw blood from people?

00:20:14
Speaker 3: Uh?

00:20:14
Speaker 1: She did? Yeah, if you were sick. Could she help you, like by giving you IVS or medicine.

00:20:21
Speaker 3: She never did any of that stuff, but I mean she had medical knowledge, so she I mean, she would help us out as much as she could.

00:20:27
Speaker 1: All Right, So you moved to the States when four years ago, you've only been here four years? Yeah, So okay, So do you do the whole Canada thing first where you're you know, you're like, I'm gonna be a star in Canada?

00:20:37
Speaker 3: Not really. I mean I was a little bit involved in like the Canadian country music industry up there, and they had a really cool program that I was a part of that was like the Discovery program where they help you out, give you the connections and everything. But I always knew that I wanted to be in Nashville. I made my first trip. It was it's almost exactly ten years ago when I first came here to you know, write and get involved in everything. So I always had my sights set on Nashville, and so I didn't spend a ton of time focusing on on the Canadian scene.

00:21:08
Speaker 1: So what was it for you that made you go, oh, I got to move down there.

00:21:12
Speaker 3: I think I had just seen so many people it's just such a community. Like Canada is so spread out. I wish they had a place that everybody could go and write with each other because there's really there's nothing. I mean, everybody's so spread out. So I knew that Nashville was just such a community. I knew that some of my favorite songwriters, some of my favorite artists. That's what they did. They once they could, they moved to Nashville, and they made their connections and they just started building it from the ground up. And that's what I wanted to do.

00:21:42
Speaker 1: So you tell your parents what.

00:21:44
Speaker 3: Well. The first time I actually came down, I was fourteen or fifteen, and I had just been putting up YouTube videos and stuff and a manager called her house and he was like, Hey, I want to bring you to Nashville and I want to see if you know you work well with this girl, because he was proposing me to be in this duo.

00:22:03
Speaker 1: Oh so what you got? Justin Biebert? A little bit? They see you in a little bit as a kid, someone sees you on YouTube and says, let's do it. Yeah a bit that will be creepy to me though, I'll be like, really, what's happening here? Yeah?

00:22:13
Speaker 3: I mean, oh, my dad was super skeptical about it. My mom was excited because I was excited. But yeah, it was definitely kind of like a well, let's just go see what happens. Like let's saying about it, but yeah, let's go see what happens. And it was so they they always knew that that's where I wanted to go, so they were supportive of it. And when I moved, they were like, oh, yeah, go for it.

00:22:34
Speaker 2: So what happened with that duo?

00:22:36
Speaker 3: It just didn't work out. Our music ideas were so different. And it was kind of like a Maddian Ta thing before, like pretty much right before Maddie and Te.

00:22:45
Speaker 2: So, well, who is the girl?

00:22:46
Speaker 3: Is she around? I think she's still.

00:22:49
Speaker 2: Miranda Lambert say it?

00:22:51
Speaker 1: No, yeah we thought so.

00:22:53
Speaker 2: No, she's still in town.

00:22:55
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think she went to college somewhere.

00:22:57
Speaker 1: You guys hated each other.

00:22:58
Speaker 3: Huh. We didn't get along.

00:23:00
Speaker 1: Oh I was just kidding, but wow, for you, Yeah, we didn't get along.

00:23:02
Speaker 2: Oh, Mike and I don't get along.

00:23:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just kind of sat there and okay, so you come and you go. Okay, Well, Nashville is where I want to be so you go back home? Yeah, and do you finish school?

00:23:10
Speaker 3: I did? I finished high school.

00:23:11
Speaker 1: Okay, and then you go. As soon as I'm done, I'm out of here.

00:23:14
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:23:14
Speaker 1: And so when did you actually pack up and move down?

00:23:17
Speaker 3: I stayed for just like a couple of years, just saving up. I still lived with my parents and everything. And yeah, I was twenty one when I moved down, first time I had ever lived on my own. Got a one bedroom apartment, the whole thing.

00:23:31
Speaker 1: Who moved with you? My mom and a what tell me the story you get in the U haul? Do you get starck with the trailer?

00:23:38
Speaker 3: We did the drive twice. The first time. We took her car and just loaded it up and drove as much as we could down just to get moved in. And then I ended up driving back again. I can't really remember why that happened, but I took I have like a little yellow Pontiac G five from when I was like sixteen, and we loaded that thing up and I'll have that car. We drove it all the way down here, and my mom stayed for like about a week to just get me settled, and then she hopped on a plane and left me by myself.

00:24:08
Speaker 1: What's the drive?

00:24:09
Speaker 3: Full twenty five hours of driving, so it took us about two days.

00:24:13
Speaker 1: Do you still have that car? Do you still drive that car? H? I like you with this millionaire record deal, you shouldn't have like Mercede, you know, talk about that for a second, because that is quite the misconception because you sign a record and listen, when I signed my record deal, I actually think I went in the hole.

00:24:32
Speaker 2: I think I lost money.

00:24:34
Speaker 1: And people think when you sign a deal that it's just like a whole bunch of money given to you. You're a bit different than I am. You're better tell me what happens when you sign a deal.

00:24:45
Speaker 3: Well, for me, my deal was pretty unique because my publisher, so I had been living off of, you know, being a songwriter.

00:24:53
Speaker 1: And you sign a publishing deal.

00:24:55
Speaker 3: I first signed a publishing deal first, and about halfway through that first year, publisher was like, we should record this stuff on you. He knew that I wanted to be an artist, and so he really started just helping me out with all of that stuff, which was really really cool, and I ended up signing kind of he created a label, I guess for me to release music. And so when I ended up signing with Reviver like that all still kind of stayed together, So not much really changed for me other than having, you know, all of the label and everything. But yeah, no, it's not like you're just like handed a bunch of money and like, yeah, you're a signed artist now.

00:25:32
Speaker 1: Mostly they go, we're gonna pay for you to do things, and even then you got to pay us back. Yeah that's really Yeah, unless you're a major artist switching labels and they're trying to woo you. They're going, Okay, we're now going to pay for you to make a record, and we're gonna pay for you to travel and do what they call radio tour, but you will pay us back, yeah, or we will drop you. One of the two things will happen. And so sounds sounds amazing, doesn't it. But it is cool to actually get a deal because they're actually supporting you to go out and try all this thing.

00:26:02
Speaker 3: It is and I mean without that, it'd be really really hard to do all of those things if you didn't have that support.

00:26:08
Speaker 2: What'd you put on YouTube?

00:26:09
Speaker 1: What song?

00:26:10
Speaker 3: Uh? Like the one that I get?

00:26:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one that govern there's always there's always a video.

00:26:14
Speaker 3: It was fifteen by Taylor Swift and I was fifteen singing it, so that's what got me here.

00:26:21
Speaker 1: And when they called, they asked for you. Wait, how did they get your number?

00:26:24
Speaker 3: That's the whole thing that I still have not figured out. I don't know how they found me, but I mean, I'm glad that they did because I learned a lot from it. But yeah, they literally just were like, hey, is to kneel there. I answered the phone and talked to them for a little while, and yeah, it was weird.

00:26:41
Speaker 1: Grand Ole Oprey debut just happened. Yes, how'd that go?

00:26:44
Speaker 3: Amazing? Oh my gosh. I still can't even believe that it happened. Like it was just one of those moments where you're like, it feels like a pad on the back from the country music industry, you know, just everybody here being like you deserve to be on that stage and make your debut. So I think that's what meant so much to me. And I had a ton of family and friends, everybody in town for it, so it was just a really big deal and it made me feel very special.

00:27:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the operator the first time is like a your eyes wide open thing. Yeah, you'll like this second through the ninth or tenth time because you actually can take it in. Yeah, there's just a lot of people there on the first one. The first time that I played it, I was like, holy crap. And I do comedy the little bit of music, right, so it's not definitely not the same, Like you're a legitimate artist.

00:27:28
Speaker 2: I'm a joke, so you.

00:27:32
Speaker 1: It's just so many people like oh my goodness, oh my goodness, that it's really hard to take it in.

00:27:36
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:27:36
Speaker 1: I feel like that would be what a wedding is like, even never been married, so I don't.

00:27:40
Speaker 3: It's like the build up is like so crazy and then it's like over in a second, and you're like.

00:27:44
Speaker 2: Oh it is quick.

00:27:46
Speaker 1: But I will say, I don't know if you're playing it anytime soon, but you actually enjoy the opry experience from now on more. Yeah, yeah, because you look and you. For me, I struggle with even seeing anyone in theudience because I was just like, oh my god, this is crazy. I'm up here playing, I'm in the circle, and so I really didn't see the people out there. From now I walk out there, it's it goes much slower.

00:28:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good.

00:28:11
Speaker 2: It's you can take it in.

00:28:13
Speaker 1: You can actually breathe and talk in between segments if you want to. M hmm.

00:28:16
Speaker 2: There's not the pressure of all your family being there.

00:28:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, good pressure, but there's still a lot of pressure there with everybody watching.

00:28:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, it definitely was like a little bit of pressure. But I tried to When I walked out there, I was like, for whatever reason, I wanted to like watch my footstep into the circle, So I made sure to just like take a moment to see that moment.

00:28:34
Speaker 1: That's cool. Are you that kind of person? Are you a take a moment person? Yeah?

00:28:37
Speaker 3: I try to be, especially with those like really big moments. Otherwise it just gets away from me.

00:28:42
Speaker 1: Sometimes, right, Top three Big moments in your life. Okay, let's let's walk backward on this. I know I'm giving you a second on this one. You're twenty five years old. Top three Big moments of your life at number three, at number three, at number three in America, we go backward to one.

00:29:03
Speaker 2: It's like a big build up.

00:29:04
Speaker 3: Can I still use the operator of course?

00:29:06
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:29:06
Speaker 2: Nothing, Number three?

00:29:07
Speaker 3: Number three? Uh? Performing on the Bachelor?

00:29:11
Speaker 1: Okay, which one or two? You can two?

00:29:15
Speaker 3: Because it was just bigger and more people who are like.

00:29:18
Speaker 1: That so that's number three life moment. Number two life moment.

00:29:23
Speaker 3: Performing the Canadian national anthem at the NBA Finals recently.

00:29:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty cool.

00:29:29
Speaker 3: It was a big one. It was something that literally when I started working with my manager, I was like, the one thing I do not want to do is sing any anthems. I am terrified. And that was when I got the call for that. Obviously, I was excited and wanted to take that opportunity and take that risk, but it was the most terrifying moment of my entire life so far.

00:29:52
Speaker 2: What did you sing with any a band.

00:29:54
Speaker 1: Or totally about acapella? Yeah? So was there any sort of echo back on top of you? Yes, because that.

00:30:02
Speaker 3: Songs it that was tough. There was a lot of people and just you're kind of trying to keep my note in my head walking out to the spot where I'm supposed to sing. I was so worried about that. And then they have all these rules about like you have to take a hard left to like walk off so that you don't get hit by the flag that's coming out for the American anthem, and there were just so many things to think about.

00:30:23
Speaker 1: But so I explain how we're gonna get to number one in a second. But explain how you're holding your note, all the stuffs happening around you, what are you doing inside your head?

00:30:32
Speaker 3: If you watch back any of the clips, I'm literally just like like singing it in my head constantly.

00:30:39
Speaker 2: But you got it.

00:30:40
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:30:40
Speaker 1: And the thing, well, I don't know about the Canadian anthem, but the American anthem, if you start a little higher than you're supposed to, you're done. Oh yeah, what's the Canadian anthem? Like?

00:30:49
Speaker 3: It's not difficult to sing, like, the range isn't as crazy as the American anthem. But I think for me, I overthink anthems so much. I'll go over the lyrics in my head a hundred times.

00:31:02
Speaker 1: There's almost a no win. No, there is a win because it's number two on your list.

00:31:07
Speaker 2: So that's a win.

00:31:08
Speaker 1: However, in the grand scheme of doing the anthem, if you go out and you nail the anthem you were supposed to nail the anthem, life just moves on.

00:31:17
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:31:18
Speaker 1: If you screw up the anthem any anthem, life does not move on. No, people get pissed. Yeah, So it's a lot of pressure where if you nail it, you were supposed to think.

00:31:27
Speaker 2: You go about your day, but if you don't, holy crap.

00:31:30
Speaker 3: I mean I actually ended up getting a lot of criticism. Why because I changed it up a little bit.

00:31:38
Speaker 1: We took it. You made it your own. It's not American idol to nail.

00:31:43
Speaker 3: But okay, like the anthem is like, oh Canada, and I went, oh, Canada.

00:31:48
Speaker 1: Probably wouldn't done that for me. I would just got Robert Goolay and watched him and done that. Yeah, okay, well, oh Canada.

00:31:55
Speaker 3: But that's not me. So I went out there and I did it the way that you know.

00:31:58
Speaker 1: Robert Goulay is. No, he's I think he's I think he's Canadian. Do you know who he is? I do know who he is. I saw him saying that the Canadians playing without WrestleMania once and for some reason, he's stuck in my head.

00:32:09
Speaker 2: You see if Robert Gouley is Canadian, because if he's not, I feel like I do.

00:32:13
Speaker 1: Okay, good for you. That's a number two singing the Canadian national anthem at the NBA Finals And who is the game? What was the game?

00:32:21
Speaker 3: It was Toronto?

00:32:22
Speaker 2: And oh there's the last one, Golden State.

00:32:24
Speaker 3: Yeah it wasn't the last, but they were, Yeah, they were.

00:32:27
Speaker 2: Yes, it was in the finals.

00:32:28
Speaker 1: It wasn't the last.

00:32:29
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I don't know sports, but yes, that's what happened.

00:32:31
Speaker 1: Okay, So but who won the game? Uh, don't say Golden State because if you do, this may be the curse of Danil. You don't know. We'll go with Toronto then, and Kawuhi had a big game? Is the whole thing?

00:32:43
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:32:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, big yeah, Mike. He is of Canadian descent boom from where well he was born in the US. Crap, but ancestry is in Canadian, Canadian Canadian. Who's the most famous person you're growing up in Canada?

00:32:59
Speaker 3: The most famous person to me?

00:33:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, Shania Twain okay, because she was from Canada and also massive and probably the most famous everybody period in North America. Yes, okay, so Shania Twain? Who anybody else? Because we're I'm on the radios to sketch one? Is that a town or a province?

00:33:16
Speaker 3: Province?

00:33:16
Speaker 1: Okay? So dumb, forgive me, because here's what happened. I'll I love the people in Canada, can't get enough of them. That being said, I was thrown into so many places at once. Yeah, that they're like you're in all and I'm trying to learn as fast as I can. I'm a big Outawa Senators fan, although they suck, so I wear the hat proudly. But that maybe the worst run hockey organization in the NHL. Are you a hockey fan a little bit? Okay?

00:33:43
Speaker 2: Who's your team?

00:33:44
Speaker 3: Well? I just hop on the band wagon of wherever I am.

00:33:48
Speaker 1: So friends, Oh, you don't have like a Canadian team. I don't you think did your dad like watch a team?

00:33:55
Speaker 3: I mean, like we grew up as a family. My brother played, so I mean the most hockey I watched was him playing. I also played for a year, just saying but yeah, played hockey.

00:34:06
Speaker 1: Yet you don't have like a team that you watched. Oh, okay, so you're a Preds fan.

00:34:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like to actually go to games. Watching sports on TV just does nothing for me.

00:34:17
Speaker 1: And you played hockey? Also a dancer? Yeah, and you answer that confidently. So you're a good dancer.

00:34:22
Speaker 3: I mean I was competitive, especially with like tap dancing. That was kind of my thing. But my little sister is amazing, and so I once I decided that I wasn't going to be a dancer. She really she like ran with it. She loves dancing and she still does that to this day.

00:34:40
Speaker 1: How many years did.

00:34:40
Speaker 3: You dance from the time I was like three to eighteen?

00:34:44
Speaker 2: Oh a long time.

00:34:45
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:34:45
Speaker 2: Did you have any championships? I?

00:34:47
Speaker 3: Well, like I went to competitions all around like the provinces, boarding Mine, and a few in the States.

00:34:54
Speaker 1: Do you have any trophies? Yeah? I want some stuff crap because I want a trophy dance and I like to brag about it a little bit. I dance for four months.

00:35:02
Speaker 3: Oh well, yeah, there you go.

00:35:04
Speaker 2: That's right.

00:35:05
Speaker 3: That's a pretty big trophy.

00:35:06
Speaker 1: That's right. That's right. So I'll probably imagine if I dance for fifteen years, all the trophies I would have. Yeah, dang, that was cool, exactly. Okay, so you're in Canada, you moved to the States. You've been here for as of today, like four years. Yeah, that's it. Huh. Well you're just a baby and yeah the nationale terms and you have a record deal and you got music that's already. That's good for you pop in a little bit.

00:35:29
Speaker 3: Well, I just decided. I was like, if I'm going to be away from everybody, because like I moved here not knowing anybody. My entire family's back in Canada. I was like, if I'm gonna move here, I'm gonna put my head down and make sure that this time is worth it, and my time away from my family, my grandparents, everything I needed to make it feel like it was worthwhile.

00:35:47
Speaker 1: Is it frustrating to not find a key chain with your name on it?

00:35:51
Speaker 3: Yes?

00:35:52
Speaker 1: Because I don't know. I never met Aitanil until I met the other one yep, and I was like huh. And then I heard and I was like, there's another So Tanil Town's is a friend and she opened for me for a lot of tour, for a lot of my comedy tour last year. And then I was like, there were like Neil arts and I was like, no, you're saying it wrong.

00:36:09
Speaker 2: It said Town, not Art.

00:36:11
Speaker 1: And they're like, no, there's another Tanil And I was like, well, how about that.

00:36:14
Speaker 2: That's kind of weird.

00:36:15
Speaker 1: What does she you know?

00:36:17
Speaker 4: What?

00:36:17
Speaker 1: Where she from? Like from Canada too? Same age? That's confusing.

00:36:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't that crazy?

00:36:23
Speaker 1: Did you guys know each other? Yeah? Oh you did from like like a tan Neil chat room where you guys ever been to Neil would get in and talk with each other.

00:36:30
Speaker 3: Actually, the first time I met her, she had one of her good friends with her and her name was also Tanil.

00:36:35
Speaker 2: So what's what's happening?

00:36:37
Speaker 1: Is there something Canada where they name him after captain and to Neil is a big big thing. Mike is Tanil Canadian from Captain Intil. I don't know who you looked at eye.

00:36:45
Speaker 3: I know that she was born in like Montgomery, Alabama or something.

00:36:49
Speaker 1: So you know this already.

00:36:50
Speaker 3: Because I thought that was weird because I grew up on Montgomery Crescent. She was from Montgomery, Alabama.

00:36:56
Speaker 1: Does that have anything to do with your name?

00:36:58
Speaker 3: Well, my parents named me after that, after Captain. Yeah, they loved the name. But they also gave me two middle names.

00:37:05
Speaker 1: Just in case Captaininta was singing songs like Muskrat Love.

00:37:09
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:37:10
Speaker 1: I don't know how I know that. Did Kevin hit his back on the on the text Let's see dad yet there? Apparently they're not Canadian lose. That's all right, Okay, so let's do we do this. Sometimes you're mount rushmore of artists. Okay, you get four. However I allow five because everyone always goes let me add one more. I'm gonna give you five, but you can't go let me add one more. We're already doing that plus one five. So okay, five artists on your mount Rushmore? Who is your first artist?

00:37:40
Speaker 3: Are they any?

00:37:41
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, it can be any.

But so since we're both kind of very I guess you know, we like hair and makeup and photos and and doing all of the fun stuff. My older two siblings felt like they were not in the group or whatever of us performing sisters, so they created their own Instagram called like the Other two Siblings or something, and they recreate our photos on the farm. It is hilarious. Yeah, it's it's pretty funny. So they they're all supportive and.

00:46:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, so parents, four kids, yep. Any animals growing up? Yeah, we had a dog, a dog, yeah, just one. Okay, No cows, no, no cows. What kind of animals are on farms in Canada?

00:47:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Mike, anything for Tanil.

00:47:07
Speaker 2: We're about to about to wrap this up.

00:47:08
Speaker 1: I'm just amazed.

00:47:09
Speaker 2: That was awesome. Yeah, that was really good.

00:47:12
Speaker 1: What's cool as we get to hear everybody saying I mean hear about on the show or out as really good.

00:47:17
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I was not expecting it to be, but it's really good and we've never done that before. Yeah, you gotta brought your guitar and a ball or move.

00:47:24
Speaker 1: It's like, I just have my guitar. If you need it, let me. That's it's cool. I like that. Here's so. I work on American Idol and I mentor a lot of these these kids. A lot of the kids need more of the music mentorship. A lot of the older people kind of need the kind of the life how to go through reality show. But I tell them, and I think you could probably speak on this too. If someone asked you to play, just freaking play, yeah, that's it. If someone's like, hey, do you play, don't take a thing and be like, well, I'm not really right now, and you know, let me think it.

00:47:50
Speaker 2: Go yeah, like play a freaking song.

00:47:52
Speaker 1: Hm. Always because you never know who's listening. Who may that person's not gonna get your record deal, but they may hear you and go, oh this person, yeah you should you should hear that.

00:48:02
Speaker 3: That's the thing. You never know when you're gonna be discovered. And I think the more you play, the more you get out there, the more chances there are. You know, you can't just sit in your bedroom and sing songs all the time and think that you're going to get somewhere.

00:48:18
Speaker 1: Here's my neighbor overheard me singing in my backyard and recommended me to get in vocal training. Yeah, is that familiar at all? Because it didn't happen to me, No, that it happened to me. So you're singing and just doing How old are you?

00:48:32
Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh, I was probably like seven.

00:48:35
Speaker 1: And your neighbor hears something in your voice yeah, and says, hot, you should go and learn to sing the real way.

00:48:40
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:48:40
Speaker 3: She came over, like because I was always just like belting out Shania Twain songs or like whatever I was listening to or making songs up, belt him out in my backyard, and my neighbor just came over and she's told my mom, She's like, I think she has a great voice. I think you should try to, you know, take her somewhere, see if she can do something with it. And of course I loved that. My first voice lesson I was so pumped and just so excited that like, that's what made it feel real to me at eight years old, seven or eight whatever it was. I was like, that's gonna be my career. I'm going to do this.

00:49:12
Speaker 2: Where did you start singing as a kid Publicly?

00:49:16
Speaker 3: I did, like a couple little like local festivals and things like that. But also because I was doing classically trained music, I also performed in like the music festivals.

00:49:28
Speaker 1: And stuff, and you would sing what kind of song it was a classically trained performer.

00:49:32
Speaker 3: There was like a book okay, yes, songs out.

00:49:35
Speaker 1: Of Okay, you have another record coming out of the next year.

00:49:39

00:49:52
Speaker 2: They're gonna blown up and you can go back and hear them.

00:49:54
Speaker 1: Because this is episode two, one hundred and three, so early on we had some artists on in the early stages too, and they were like, I don't know, we're just trying to get something going. And you go back now and you're like, holy crap, Like now they're they're big deal. So hopefully, uh, this this is what happens here. Okay, Well, listen, we've I think we've said everything that that we need to say. You feel like you learn a little bit about you? Yeah, Kevin, Kevin will not call us back if you're listening right now, Kevin, we tried. Before we wrap it up, we're gonna we're gonna give it one more look, not yet.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:51:08
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. I didn't watch any of the other ones.

00:51:10
Speaker 1: Oh no, that sucks because there were like three I saw most of them. Yeah, but there were only three or four that I didn't see, and I felt a little out of it at times. I can only imagine what you felt. No, it's knowing that I was very out of it.

00:51:24
Speaker 3: Well, actually I think I saw the Captain Marvel one the Girl maybe, Yeah, I saw that one before. But also at the end of that, I did not know that this was like a big thing that was going to be coming to an end, and everybody was sitting in the theater still like waiting to see whatever they show at the end of those movies. I had no clue. I was completely in the dark that this was a whole series of.

00:51:46
Speaker 2: Things and that's the last movie you saw. Yeah, okay, are you on the road a lot?

00:52:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're driving the Pontiac.

00:52:03
Speaker 3: Oh no, it's a Pontiac. But I don't even think it would make it there.

00:52:08
Speaker 2: One final question, what is your hobby and why do you do it?

00:52:11
Speaker 3: My hobby.

00:52:14
Speaker 1: It cannot be something you make money at. Okay, so don't say music.

00:52:18
Speaker 2: What is your hobby and why.

00:52:19
Speaker 1: Do you do it?

00:52:19
Speaker 3: Oh? Man, it's a lot of my things have to do with music. But like this one thing that I started doing is like painting on the back of jean jackets. So that's kind of like a hobby thing that has become something that I think.

00:52:34
Speaker 1: That's a wonderful answer. You're in a jacket now that is very painty. But you didn't paint this one. No, Okay, let's check one more time for Kevin. This is her dad.

00:53:37
Speaker 3: Ever done it, but it was great. Yeah, went by fast.

00:53:40
Speaker 1: As you walk out the house. And I always wonder if it's weird because this we normally do this earlier in the daytime, but because of my schedule, so weird this week we actually did this one at night.

00:53:49
Speaker 2: It's fully dark right now.

00:53:50

00:54:00
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm coming here with my manager.

00:54:01
Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay, it doesn't matter to me, great I would. I just think, like going to somebody's house, this is a trick.

00:54:08
Speaker 2: But you can rest assured it is not a trick.

00:54:10
Speaker 1: All right. But we didn't record any of this. This is just for me. We're just saving it, all right to Neill Art's I'm Gonna Talk to Everybody. Check out her music. Her new single as of right now, this recording. The song is called Somebody Like That. I really like the song. I hate this.
