"I started singing very young when I was in church. I think the first solo I ever sang I was three. Singing was kind of in my blood. My grandmother had been a singer, kind of a regional act around Kansas City. She played a lot of the clubs and things around there."
"I moved to Nashville after college... with the intent of that's what I want to do, I want to sing, I want to make music. And I made a few records starting in 2010 that were country records, but I was doing other people's music."
"I always said that my creative 'in' - where I wasn't writing my music at that time - was that I was an interpreter. I loved to interpret other songwriters' music and find songs that maybe have even been recorded before and find a different way of telling that story."
"I want my music to matter, in a way that it helps people."
"During the pandemic... I... thought, maybe this is, maybe the music, maybe it's over... Maybe this is the big finale."
"Know that you are more than just your talent. Know who you are... Who you are and what you do are two totally separate entities."
"For the last 18 months of my life, fear and learning how to do it afraid, that has been a big, big lesson for me."
"I really took some chances and I really got beat up for a while and allowed doubt and fear to beat me up for a while."
"Vince Gill, obviously he's such a super talent in every aspect -- singer, songwriter, player, picker, all the things -- but his voice just has such a comfort... And in (Teea's) song... when his vocal comes in it's just like this big hug around you."
"I have had the honor of playing the Grand Ole Opry eleven times. It's weird even saying that, 'cause that's what I dreamt of. When I was a kid, I have pictures that I drew of me on-stage at the Opry."
"So, the first time I ever played the Grand Ole Opry House, on the big wooden circle where everyone has stood, I sang my own words, on that circle, at the Opry House."
"...through songwriting, of being able to get all those things that are in you, out. And being able to hopefully help someone else that might be going through the same thing."
