Nashville resident and Ontario, Canada native Tebey is a platinum selling artist, award-winning producer and accomplished songwriter with multiple #1 songs in his repertoire of hits. His oft-mispronounced name (read: TAY-bay) is of Nigerian descent – his father’s birthplace, but Tebey grew up in the small town of Peterborough, Ontario. While enjoying simultaneous success on the football field, he and his father made the decision to move to Nashville in his mid-teens to pursue his music career, while his mother stayed back in Canada to care for Tebey’s brother and sister. This bold move paid off when Tebey signed to BNA Records Nashville (RCA Label Group) in the early 2000's.

After a brief period in the recording industry, Tebey pivoted to songwriting throughout the early 2000’s and only in 2011 did he start to shift the focus back to his artist career. Not a year went by when he didn’t have a top charting radio song, though he really hit his stride in 2018 with a series of significant successes including 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 5 radio hits during this timeframe - “Denim on Denim” (certified Platinum) and “Good Jeans” which reached #2 on the national country chart. Overall, Tebey has four official Top 5 radio singles, four Top 10 singles, and five Top 20 singles as a recording artist.

As an artist, Tebey has seen great success at both radio and streaming platforms. These successes include (but are not limited to): his gold single “Who’s Gonna Love You”, his platinum single “Denim on Denim”, Shotgun Rider’ which reached the Top 10 at Canadian radio, his gold-certified ‘The Good Ones’ (with Quebec pop star Marie Mai) which also reached the Top 10 at Canadian radio, and his 2024 country cover of “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd, which has amassed over 11 million streams since its March 9, 2024 release date after going viral on TikTok. On July 5, 2024, Tebey released a country cover of Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home”, which has garnered 350,000+ streams to date and on Sept 11th a new duet with Tenille Arts "Hangover At My Place" will be taking its place amongst Tebey's hit list. As a whole, Tebey’s vast catalogue totals an impressive 110 million streams across all platforms.

Tebey has had two headline tours across Canada - The Good Ones Tour (2020), and the Shotgun Rider Tour (2022).  In the fall of 2019, Tebey performed his first international tour dates as part of Country Music Week, which took him to Berlin, Cologne and London. He returned for the illustrious C2C festival in Berlin and London in early 2020. Tebey returned to Europe/UK to headline the Buckle & Boots Festival in Manchester, along with dates in London and Hamburg. In March 2022, Tebey was in London for the C2C festival where he played 5 capacity shows and co-hosted the Bob Harris Country Show LIVE on BBC Radio2.  He also performed at the 2022 CMAFest in Nashville and once again, Tebey hosted a BBC Radio2 show backstage at Nissan Stadium, this time on his own, interviewing main stage artists such as Thomas Rhett, Kane Brown, Kelsea Ballerini, Cole Swindell, Lainey Wilson, and more for the UK market! Tebey continued the second leg of his Shotgun Rider Tour in February 2023 across Ontario and Quebec.
