Tegan and Sara Celebrates No.10

Tegan and Sara by Pamela Littky

20 years in the Industry and More Relevant than Ever

WORDS BY AMELIA JOHANNSEN | VANCOUVER | MUSIC

MAR 16, 2023 | ISSUE 10

Canadian duo Tegan and Sara embark on new and exciting facets of the entertainment industry by influencing everything they touch with generosity and style. After a popular release of their new music video paying homage to Coldplay, this month, we’ll see the release of their 10th studio album, Crybaby. Not to mention the highly anticipated show High School. A new Amazon series based on their acclaimed 2019 memoir. We sat down with Tegan Quin to ask about the creative process behind their latest projects and what it’s like to be a successful queer artist in an ever-changing, competitive music scene.


Beyond their creative work, Tegan and Sara run a foundation providing financial support to the LGBTQ+ community. Tegan describes how they manage a nimble and flexible organization that’s better able to provide support to those who need it most and how they have become “ambassadors from within the system,” on a mission to contribute to a much-needed change in the music industry and society at large. With over twenty years in the entertainment business and more than six years helping to improve the lives of others, Tegan has important insights to share with us all.
