After high school, she relocated to Kelowna, BC, to pursue music, enrolling in the audio engineering program at CATO. Following college, Teigen worked as a bartender at the OK Corral while singing on weekends, taking every opportunity to perform around Kelowna as she began building her music career.

Teigen is quickly cementing her place as one of Canadian country’s most exciting emerging artists.

Her latest single, “The Best Part,” co-written with Gavin Slate, Emily Reid, and Jenna Walker, blends cheeky empowerment with undeniable hooks—spotlighting the fearless, fun side of Gayse’s artistry and her signature powerhouse vocals.
