Biography
Arts was raised in her hometown of Weyburn, Saskatchewan, where she began taking lessons in piano and singing, and developed an interest in songwriting in her teenage years.[1] By 2009, she began posting videos of her cover versions of popular songs, including one of Taylor Swift's "Fifteen" that captured the attention of a talent manager from Nashville, Tennessee.[1] Arts briefly relocated to Nashville to pursue this opportunity, but returned to Canada to finish high school. In 2015, she relocated to Nashville to sign a publishing contract with Noble Vision Music Group and released "Breathe", a charity single in support of Cystic Fibrosis research.[2]
She was awarded the Emerging Artists Award from the Saskatchewan Country Music Association and was nominated for the Discovery Artist program from the Canadian Country Music Association, both in 2016, for her burgeoning success.[3][4] That year, she released her debut, self-titled extended play through the independent label imprint 19th & Grand Records.[5] "What He's Into" was released to Canadian country radio in January 2017 as her official debut single and reached 47 on the Canada Country airplay chart.[6][7] Following the success of that record, Arts released her debut studio album, Rebel Child, on October 27, 2017, preceded by the single, "Cold Feet".[8] The album reached number 45 on the sales component chart of the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.[9]
In 2018, Arts made an appearance on the 22nd season of popular American reality television series, The Bachelor, performing an original ballad titled, "Moment of Weakness" and in 2020 performing “Somebody Like That”.[10] Exposure from the show led to increased interest in Arts's music and a record deal from indie label Reviver Records, which she signed in March 2018.[10] A deluxe edition of Rebel Child was issued that year with new tracks including "Moment of Weakness".[11] Her first release for Reviver, "I Hate This", was released in the summer of 2018 and charted on the Hot Country Songs in the United States.[12] A Canadian-exclusive single, "Mad Crazy Love", became Arts's second single to reach the Canadian country airplay charts.[7] Two further singles were released in 2019 - "Call You Names" and "Somebody Like That" - to promote her second studio album, Love, Heartbreak, & Everything in Between, which is scheduled for release January 10, 2020.[13]
