With a larger-than-life voice, Tegan Marie was discovered when her father uploaded videos of her cover songs to Gen Z girls’ site, Sweety High. Featured as a Radio Disney Country artist, she has since catapulted into the national spotlight with several high-profile media performances and appearances including ABC’s Good Morning America.
Tegan Marie recently released her new single “Keep it Lit” and is currently working on her debut album in Nashvile. I had a chance to catch up with her this week. Below is our interview:
