Tebey

A Canadian country artist
with a knack for pop hooks, Tebey was born Tebey Solomon Ottoh on October 14,
1983 in Peterborough, Ontario. He grew up in Ontario the son of a Canadian
mother and Nigerian father. In 2003 he had a breakthrough hit in both Canada
and the US with the single “We Shook Hands (Man to Man)”. He then worked
mainly as a professional songwriter for both pop and country acts penning songs
for diverse acts like One Direction and Flo Rida. His impressive resume as a
writer included “All About Tonight”, which Pixie Lott took to the top of
the UK singles chart, and Justin Moore’s Number 1 country smash “Somebody
Else Will”. There was much anticipation for his 2012 debut LP The Wait,
and it spun off a pair of Canadian top 40 country hits, “Somewhere in the
Country” and “All About Us”. 2014’s Two landed him
three more top 40 country hits including his first top 5, 2013’s “Wake Me Up”,
which was his biggest selling single to that point. His 2018 EP Love
a Girl featured the hit country/pop singles “Denim on Denim” and “Who's
Gonna Love You”, the latter becoming his first Number 1 hit as a performer.
It also included the electronic dance music-influenced country song “Show
You What It's Like”. In 2019 he released the single “Good Jeans”, a Number 2 country hit, and a collaboration with Marie-Mai, "The Good Ones",
that would give him another top 10 country hit and provide the title for his
2021 album.
