Tenille Arts has signed with Muse Creative Management, entering a new career chapter under manager Casadie Pederson. Pederson will oversee strategy and management across all areas as the Canadian country singer prepares a fifth studio album and North American touring plans for 2027.
Tenille Arts, who grew up in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, broke through in the United States with “Somebody Like That,” which reached No. 1 on Country Airplay in 2021. The RIAA-certified double-platinum single became the first song to top the chart with an all-female songwriting and production team. It also marked the first U.S. country radio No. 1 by a Canadian artist since 2007, and the first by a Canadian woman since Terri Clark in 2004.

The signing brings Arts together with Pederson, who has known the singer for years. Under the new arrangement, Pederson will guide the next stage of Arts’ career and help develop opportunities across the music business.
“I’m so ready for this new chapter with Casadie as my manager,” Tenille said. “She understands better than anyone where I come from, but more importantly, she understands where I want to go.” The 32-year-old singer added that Pederson’s industry knowledge makes her excited to open new doors and take her career to the next level.
Pederson called Arts a complete artist, highlighting her songwriting, vocals, style and personality. “We’ve known each other for years, and I feel incredibly blessed to be at the helm of this next chapter in her career,” she said, adding that she hopes to create opportunities for Arts to accomplish new goals and share her music around the world.
The move comes as Tenille Arts approaches a milestone year. She made her 17th Grand Ole Opry appearance this past Thursday as part of the venue’s celebration of the Canadian Country Music Association’s 50th anniversary. She has toured internationally and performed on The TODAY Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show and ABC’s The Bachelor.
Arts has accumulated nearly one billion global catalog streams, with songs including “Back Then, Right Now,” “I Hate This” and “Don’t Ruin Flowers.” Her recent releases also include “If Somebody Told Me You Were Dying,” “Lonely Weekend” and “The Right Drugs.”
Her albums include Love, Heartbreak, & Everything In Between, Girl to Girl and 2024’s 14-track to be honest, led by “So Do I,” written by Demi Lovato, Sasha Sloan, Laura Veltz and King Henry. Arts has earned ACM, iHeartRadio Music Awards and CMT Music Awards nominations, as well as honors from the MusicRow Awards, AIMP and the Canadian Country Music Association.
