The
dashboard drumming cruise tune is a celebration of Tareya’s
romance-filled introduction to southern beaches and her love for a man
who digs classic cars. “Summer Wheels” is also the first taste of
Tareya’s full-length debut solo album currently in the works. It will
feature a collection of original songs that reflect the power of human
emotions, the richness of the soul and the confounding rewards that come
from a passion-driven life. In many ways, Tareya says her writing pays
tribute to artists such as Sarah McLachlan, Celine Dion, Shania Twain,
Jann Arden and Chantal Kreviazuk who provided the soundtrack to her
childhood and teenage years.

“While
cruising down the coast in Florida this January, I fell in love with
the ocean. I was full of inspiration to write a beach vibe song so I
took a detour through Nashville on my way home to Toronto to do some
writing,” says Tareya. “Patricia Conroy texted me an idea for a
song and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. I got together
with Patrica and Danick Dupelle (Emerson Drive) and the vibe in the
writing session was very laid back. ‘Summer Wheels’ is a quirky, fun
cruising song and I knew Jeff Dalziel was the perfect producer for the
track. He loved the demo; as soon a I sent it to him he started working
it up. Everything about this song came effortlessly, even the photo
shoot with Phil Crozier and finding the perfect iconic car for the
single art — a baby blue 50’s Chevy Convertible. It became obvious
very quickly that this song was going to be the lead summer single.”

Tareya’s
musical journey got underway at an early age when she began writing
original music on the piano. She later began posting videos of herself
singing on YouTube, one of which caught the attention of a music industry executive, which soon sparked the formation of Autumn Hill in 2010.
