Tebey

Tebey is a Ontario-born, Nashville based country music star who has also penned songs for hit artists in both the country and pop worlds. Though he’s been experiencing solid highlights for over a decade, the past three years in particular have seen some of Tebey’s biggest successes to date with three #1 songs as a writer: a US Billboard #1 with Justin Moore’s “Somebody Else Will”; a Canadian #1 with Gord Bamford’s “Dive Bar,” and his first #1 as an artist and writer with his gold single “Who’s Gonna Love You,” for which he also received a SOCAN award in March 2019. He also co-wrote two additional top-five radio hits during this timeframe - “Denim on Denim” (certified platinum) and “Good Jeans.” Overall, Tebey has four official top-five radio singles, five top-10 singles, and four top-20 singles as a recording artist, and his music and videos have amassed to nearly 70 million streams.

As a songwriter, Tebey has earned success on multiple continents with the aforementioned #1 chart toppers; one in the US, one in the UK, and four in Canada. Notable pop artists to have recorded his songs include One Direction, Fifth Harmony, Pixie Lott, Cher, and FLO RIDA, and no stranger to the country genre, Justin Moore, Big & Rich, Jimmy Rankin, Emerson Drive, and many others all released Tebey-penned tunes. This winter Joe Nichols is releasing a song “I Got Friends That Do” featuring Blake Shelton that Tebey co-wrote with Danick Dupelle and Jimmy Thow.
