Written Submission - How would this Honour benefit the nominee?:
Receiving this Honour from Women in Music Canada would be a meaningful acknowledgment of Tea Fannie’s dedication to artistic excellence, authenticity, and community-building within Canada’s live music scene. Recognition in the Excellence in Live Music or Artist of the Year category would not only validate years of independent work but also amplify her voice and impact on a national level.
This Honour would provide Tea Fannie with greater visibility and access to networks that could help expand her touring opportunities, collaborations, and mentorship within the music industry. As an independent artist who has self-produced events, curated tours, and championed diversity, this recognition would highlight her as both a performer and leader shaping a more inclusive future for women in music.
For Tea Fannie, this isn’t just about personal success—it’s about opening doors for other artists who look like her, sound like her, and share her vision of authenticity and representation. This Honour would strengthen her ability to continue creating spaces that celebrate women, queer artists, and underrepresented voices in live music across Canada.
