Tia Wood released her first single, Dirt Roads, earlier this month. Allaire wanted to capture the excitement felt throughout NDN Country upon her release and the overall appreciation for her music. Tia Wood expressed her gratitude in an Instagram Post.
“She’s in VOGUE.
I’m so eternally grateful, my heart can explode. Aiyhiy for all the love. Means the whole world to me. Sending the biggest THANK YOU to the amazing @chrisjallaire for featuring me & allowing me to share a bit of my story. I have so much love and respect for the work you do. This is such an honour.
Dirt Roads is a love letter to my family, my home & all indigenous people out there. Hearing you all share your different versions of what this song means to you has been such a privilege and dream come true. To have my people hear themselves in the music I create is all I’ve ever wanted.
Another special thank you to this incredible team below for making me feel so beautiful and safe on set. Such a pleasure & privilege working with each of them.”
