Mr Tenison released his first single last month, titled Be Your Own King, which follows the self-discovery journey of the modern man.
It illustrates the process one takes to eliminate self-doubt and learn to trust in yourself.
The song is about Mr Tenison's personal journey to self-love and confidence.
The goal of releasing this single was to inspire men (and women) around the world to take care of themselves, believe in their potential, do the work to fulfil their dreams and be their "own king".
IN OTHER NEWS:
Mr Tenison's love for music started at age seven, getting his first lessons from a local girl Zoe Tucker, and falling in love with song writing.
He left Leeton and joined the Army as an officer, but all the while his dream of being a musician followed him in this role.
When the time came to decide whether or not to stay in the defence force he knew he'd never forgive himself if he didn't share his music with the world and follow his life long dream.
"Shot with your own gun. You're the only one, you never love" was the first line he wrote for the song.
The culmination of accepting all the parts of yourself and learning to love your flaws, cracks, and the things you've always hated about yourself.
"I was deeply saddened by how much I tortured myself," Mr Tenison said.
"The judgments I had about myself were crippling. I had non self-confidence and lacked a voice."
If other men are looking for support and a space to start their journey to self-love, to become their own king they can find the programs Mr Tenison is participating in at the moment through https://www.facebook.com/PrimalManProject.
Mr Tenison is passionate about men's mental health and the mental and physical health of artists and creatives.
He is impacting the sometimes-negative relationship musicians have with their bodies through his organisation Ripped Like a Rockstar, which provides ongoing guidance, support and accountability for creatives to maintain their health and fitness while dealing with the demands of pursuing their art.
He also confounded Bohemian Bootcamp, a six-week program that empowers and supports artists, musicians and other creatives
