Autumn Hill was a Canadian country music duo consisting of Mike Robins, hailing from Toronto, Ontario, and Tareya Green, originally from Calgary, Alberta.
History
Tareya Green pursued multi-media studies at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and initially worked on creating websites for artists before shifting her focus to songwriting and piano. She shared her performances on YouTube, where Jamie Appleby, co-founder of Wax Records, discovered her talent. In January 2012, Green relocated to Toronto, where Appleby brought together a team of songwriters for her first album, including Mike Robins. Robins was an experienced singer-songwriter who had toured with Hope Sandoval in 2010 and scored a solo single, "No Mercy," in 2011 that reached the top of the adult contemporary chart on iHeartRadio. Upon hearing Green and Robins perform as a duo, Appleby decided to form Autumn Hill.
Their first single, "Anything At All," debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 in January 2013 and was featured on their initial album Favourite Mistake, released on September 10, 2013. Two tracks received considerable airplay across country and adult contemporary stations, marking Autumn Hill as the first Canadian country group since Shania Twain to achieve a successful crossover into pop radio. Later singles experienced reduced chart success; nonetheless, "Fire" peaked at number 73 on the Canadian Hot 100. The single "Blame", which came out in March 2015 as the lead track from their second album Anchor, reached number four on the Canadian country airplay chart, becoming their sole top ten hit. Overall, they had seven singles that charted.
Following promotion of Anchor in 2017, the pair parted ways to focus on individual careers.
Green adopted the stage name 'Tareya' and launched her solo career with the single "Summer Wheels" in June 2017, followed by her debut album Stained Glass Heart in March 2018. Meanwhile, Robins co-founded the band East Adelaide and released his solo track "Lightning Don’t Strike Twice" in October 2020.
