Little Tia cannot believe it still!
Hailing from the Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, Canada, Wood was always destined to make music.
It was honestly surreal, says Wood.

I still have trouble processing it sometimes.
Woods debut singles make for a strong introduction to the world.
Her first song and music video, Dirt Roads, was filmed back in her home community in Alberta.

I moved with just enough for first months rent.
The experience inspired her to write the songa track about missing rez life back home.
I missed my home; I felt like a fish out of water, she says.

I lost access to being around my family, ceremony, and community.
This was hard, but it also became my strength to keep going.
Its a love letter to my home for raising me.
Its a love letter to all Indigenous people.
Of course, Wood made sure to bring her best fashions forward for the new music video.
By doing this, I hope for our people to listen and hear themselves in my music.
Just last week, Wood released her second follow-up song, Losing Game.
Its a groovy, laid-back track about a relatable romantic quandary: loving someone to a fault.
Up next, Wood is releasing more tracksand potentially an album, too.
We have written and recorded so many songs.
I dont want to give away too much, but we have a project coming out in early fall.
The talented, stylish rising star is definitely one to watch.
