Teea Goans was singing in church by the time she was three years old
and when she turned eight she was spotted at a talent contest by the Truman Lake
Opry. A year later she became a full-fledged member. She continued to
perform there every week until she was 17 and opened for Grand Ole Opry
acts such as Bill Anderson, Little Jimmy Dickens and Grandpa Jones.
After high school, Goans earned her associate's degree at Longview Community College in Kansas City
and remained there after graduation. Teea Goans' primary musical
influence during those early years was her maternal grandmother - the
late Della Lee Faulkner. A locally popular singer in the 1960s, Faulkner
might have pursued a career in Nashville but had to take care of seven
children.
