At the age of 15, most teenage girls spend their time working out problems with boys, clothes and school. Columbia Records recording artist Tiffany Evans, however, is not “most teenage girls.” This April she will release her self-titled debut album, four months before she turns 16.
Despite what her birth certificate may say, Evans feels she has been forced to mature quicker than most teens her age. Instead of attending house parties and school dances, Evans has spent late nights at recording studios and early mornings on radio tours. All the more reason she has appropriately proclaimed to the world, “I’m Grown,” on her current Darkchild-produced single.
In an exclusive interview with DJBooth‘s DJ “Z,” Tiffany Evans steps inside the booth to talk about missing out on her teenage years because of her career, what pickup lines a boy shouldn’t be using to get a girl, and whether of not label mate and collaborator Bow Wow is really a ‘ladies’ man.’
DJ Booth: What’s goin’ on ya’ll? It’s your boy “Z,” doin’ it real big, and joining me inside the DJ Booth is a young lady who has proclaimed to the world that she is now grown. Please welcome Tiffany Evans – how are you?
Tiffany Evans: Hey, I’m good. How are you?
DJ Booth: I am wonderful. New single, “I’m Grown,” produced by Dark Child, featuring Bow Wow; describe the ways you feel you’ve matured since signing a record deal a few years ago?
Tiffany Evans: I feel like I’ve matured mentally, spiritually, physically. There’s a lot that I have learned, and that I am still learning. I found out a lot about myself and I feel like it’s a new me now – it’s a new year; it’s a new me. I deserve respect, just like everybody else, and I feel like, if you’re takin’ care of yourself and you’re makin’ money and you’re focused, then you can say you’re grown.
DJ Booth: As Aaliyah said, “Age ain’t nothing but a number,” right?
Tiffany Evans: Of course, ‘cause age defines no person at all. Like, you can drink at twenty-one and you can go to the clubs at eighteen, but it’s really what’s in your head. And if you don’t have that knowledge, age doesn’t do anything for you.
DJ Booth: I couldn’t agree more. You’re fifteen, almost sixteen, this August is your birthday, but you sound a lot older on your new material. Was there a certain point during your youth when you realized, “Hey, I’m a pretty damn good singer,” and that you were above the competition?
Tiffany Evans: Wow… well, I never really thought about it like that, but, I really don’t understand what I have, and I kinda like it that way. That way, you don’t understand certain things and you try to learn about it; I’m learnin’ about myself. I don’t understand the gift that God gave me, but I am using it to the best of my ability, and showin’ the world that I can sing and I have proven that, and they understand that, and I’m doin’ my thing. Like I said, I’m using my gift to the best of my ability.
DJ Booth: Well, that was a very humble answer; I appreciate that.
Tiffany Evans: Oh, no problem.
DJ Booth: Being all grown up can be fun, but it also includes massive responsibilities. So, has growing up faster than most teenagers your age been hard on you?
Tiffany Evans: Most definitely, sacrifice – I had to make a lot of sacrifices. At the same time, this is my life, and I chose this as what I wanted to do, but basically it comes with a lot. I wasn’t able to party and go out with my brothers and sisters or go to the movies. There would be a time when I had to work, and I had to record, and my brother would be like, “Are you coming?” and I’d be like, “No, I gotta go to the studio.” Sometimes I can’t talk all night, like everybody else – weekdays or weekends or whatever, I can’t talk on the phone ‘cause I may have to get up at five ‘o’ clock in the morning to go do a run at a radio station. But there are a lot of things that you have to sacrifice, and there are a lot of things that come with it, and you definitely have to be mature.
DJ Booth: What you’re doing is you’re saving cell phone minutes, so that’s good. Being thrown into the industry at such a young age, do you feel you’ve missed out on the beginning of your teenage years?
Tiffany Evans: Because I had brothers and sisters, not really, but sometimes yes. As far as being social, my social life is not as social as it used to be, but there’s a lot of things that I’ve missed out on, like being able to go to a regular high school, or bein’ able to just go to regular house parties – I can’t even go to house parties, you understand the security thing. A lot of people tell me, “Tiffany, just act your age,” and then sometimes I’ll be like, “I don’t know what fifteen is like,” you know? But I can say I know what eighteen is like, ‘cause I’m doing certain things that an adult would do. This is an adult job.
DJ Booth: What do you think thus far has been the most challenging aspect of balancing your life with your career?
Tiffany Evans: My life with my career… bein’ around my family. I would like to be around my family more, and not being able to be around them is very challenging, ‘cause sometimes I wanna be home, and sometimes I wanna be chillin’ with them, but I don’t get that opportunity a lot. It’s just working hard and not being able to do certain things I used to do is challenging.
DJ Booth: Well, as long as you keep that hard work up, eventually you’ll get that opportunity…
Tiffany Evans: That’s right. And I’ll always believe that, I’ll have hope. You know, you always have to work hard for what you want because if you didn’t have anything to get over there wouldn’t be nothing to learn from, and, well I earned this. So I’d rather earn my way than to get it easy.
DJ Booth: Definitely. Each answer you give me, you’re earning your stripes more and more. A knock on teenage R&B singers for the most part is that they often sing about material that they actually don’t have experience with. A few examples would be long-term relationships, heavy drinking in the clubs – how do you go about choosing your songwriters and your material?
Tiffany Evans: I have great people, a great team around me who decides who gets to write on my album or produce some of my records. You have to have a great team of people around you with great heads; we just come together with a bunch of ideas, and my style and things that I should do, and my image.
DJ Booth: Okay, so what topics will you be covering on this album? We obviously know the first topic is that, you’re grown – what’s up next?
Tiffany Evans: Relationships. Like, I’ve been in a relationship before, and, I won’t say that I was “dangerously in love,” but I have been in a relationship before and I’m able to speak on certain things that I have learned. Also, I just take from other people, my brothers and my sisters, their relationships. I talk to them about it and, maybe their relationship can become a song. So most definitely relationships and just fun stuff!
DJ Booth: Okay. Well, you know what? I don’t know anybody in the world who doesn’t like fun stuff!
Tiffany Evans: Yeah. Fun stuff, like goin’ to the mall – everybody loves goin’ to the mall. When you see some guys there, or, see some girls, and you just kinda holler at them – stuff like that. And teaching dudes how to approach a lady with class.
DJ Booth: While you have me on the phone, since I’m a dude, and you’re a lady, why don’t you go ahead and explain to me how you like to be approached? Let’s say we’re both at the mall, you just purchased some earrings, I got a brand new sweatshirt, and we’re crossing one another at the same time – what would be the best move for me?
Tiffany Evans: If you made eye contact with me – don’t try too hard! [laughter] If you caught my eye, I look at you, and then I’ll smile, the best thing would be to smile first and then you can walk up and be like, “Hey, miss, your name? Can I get your name?” And I’ll tell you my name, but you have to ask in the proper way; you can’t be like, “Yo, ma!” I’m from New York, I’m from the Bronx, from boogie down, and that’s what a lot of guys do up here. They’ll be like, “’Ey, ma, what’s good, ma?” My name’s not “ma!” If you really wanna get to a lady’s heart, just be like, “If it wouldn’t be a problem, could I ask you your name? ‘Cause you are very beautiful, and you caught my eye.” And easily work your way. Don’t be too hard, just be yourself.
DJ Booth: Definitely. I’ve been taking notes, and for all the guys out there listening, if you see Tiffany, don’t even think about saying, “Yo, ma.” Don’t even think about it!
Tiffany Evans: Yeah, don’t say, “Yo, ma,” ‘cause my name’s not, “Yo, ma.”
DJ Booth: I appreciate the tips; hopefully, it’ll help me in my own endeavors. I’m gonna name a few predominant female figures in R&B and you name one attribute that each of them possesses, that you feel might have rubbed off on the start of your career. First one, Janet Jackson.
Tiffany Evans: Her dancing.
DJ Booth: Toni Braxton.
Tiffany Evans: Oh, wow… her distinctive voice. Her voice is so amazing that [singing]. [laughter] That’s what she does! Her distinctive voice, her low tones.
DJ Booth: Okay, deep voice. Next one is Whitney Houston.
Tiffany Evans: Oh my gosh, her runs, everything about her, her classiness.
DJ Booth: Definitely. Next one: Beyonce.
Tiffany Evans: She’s very unique on stage, so I would have to say, the way she talks. I think the way she talks is so cute. Like, she’ll be saying, “y’all,” and, “Y’all so cute,” and everything.
DJ Booth: It’s from being from Houston, that’s what it is.
Tiffany Evans: Yes! It actually rubbed off on me because I started saying “y’all,” for a minute. I was like, “Hey, y’all, how y’all doin’?” and, “Y’all look so cute!”
DJ Booth: And then you realized it was all because of B.
Tiffany Evans: Yeah, she’s cute.
DJ Booth: Okay, last one, a newcomer of sorts: Ciara.
Tiffany Evans: I would say her dancing.
DJ Booth: Last question: as I mentioned earlier, Bow Wow is featured on “I’m Grown,” and this past year I had a chance to speak with both Bow and Omarion when their new album, “Face Off,” hit stores. Now, it was apparent during our interview that he considers himself a ladies’ man.
Tiffany Evans: A ladies’ man?
DJ Booth: You’ve worked with him, and you’re label mates at Columbia with him. So let’s turn over this mattress here – is Bow Wow a ladies’ man or not?
Tiffany Evans: [laughter] Yes, he’s a ladies’ man. If he plays his cards right, whatever female he’s eying down, he could probably pursue.
DJ Booth: So did Bow follow your advice that you gave me earlier when he saw you for the first time?
Tiffany Evans: Oh, we really didn’t have the chance to talk like that, but when I talk to him again I’ll be like, “Listen, big bro – this is how you approach a lady,” if he doesn’t already know. ‘Cause he probably does know, if he’s a ladies’ man. [laughter]
DJ Booth: Okay, well the mattress has been turned. Tiffany Evans’ self-titled debut, out in stores April 22nd. Give everybody your MySpace or your website, so they can find out more.
Tiffany Evans: myspace.com/tiffanyevansmusic, and you can also go to my website, tiffanyevansmusic.com, hit me up on there, show love. If you aren’t a fan, become a fan. Support the single, “I’m Grown.” Like you said, the album April 22nd, self-titled, “Tiffany Evans,” you know it will not be that hard to find in the stores. I love y’all so much.
DJ Booth: Great! Thank you so much for taking the time and joining me inside of the DJ Booth, and I wish you nothing but the best of luck.
Tiffany Evans: Aw, thank you so much, Mr. Z. God bless you.

In 2003, Tiffany Evans sang for executives at Columbia Records and was quickly offered a deal. Her self-titled debut album was originally released as an eight-track EP in 2004 that included a bonus DVD. Limited copies of this EP were available at a few online retailers and at Limited Too! stores, before being quickly pulled. Now with her musical career again on the upswing, guidance from Ciara, and upcoming singles with Chris Brown and Ne-Yo Tiffany is poised to make her mark on the industry
Singersroom: Could you tell us about your upcoming album?
Tiffany Evans: My album is self-titled and it will be out November 20th. Expect production from Ne-Yo, The Clutch, Bo Dozier, Mr. Collipark remixed “Promise Ring” and of course Ciara is on the album. It’s just a very fun, very chill and funky album. Something everyone can relate to including the older crowd; people that are older than me. I feel like they can relate to it because it’s a mature album and it’s very young. I feel like its just right for everybody because everybody can listen to it and understand where I’m coming from.
Singersroom: We were introduced to you when you were ten-years-old on Star Search, Showtime at the Apollo, Oprah, etc. Do you think you have grown a lot from then?
Tiffany Evans: I’ve grown so much! I’m not just saying that because a lot of people say “I feel like I’ve grown!” because they want to be but I feel like I’ve grown naturally, mentally, and physically. Especially physically because my look has changed. I’m not a little girl anymore; I can definitely say that I am a young woman. My vocals have matured and I have learned a lot. I understand a lot more than I use to.
Singersoom: You went on the Scream Tour this year. What was it like working with other young up and coming artists? Did they give you tons of advice and did you learn a lot about yourself on the tour?
Tiffany Evans: It was a blessing and I definitely thank God for that opportunity because I actually got to experience real touring. Lloyd, T.I., T-Pain, and Young Joc are like my family now. I would come out during Ciara’s set and do “Promise Ring.” I would also come out in her second set again and she would tell the audience all about me and my life. You know what? Every night was a great night. There are a lot of people who know who I am but there are more that don’t know who I am. Every night when I would come out I had this insecurity that nobody knew who I was and I still feel that way all the time. Whenever I’d come out people would say “Oh my god! It’s Tiffany Evans!” and I’d tell myself “You know what? I need to just chill out because these people already know. No need to get nervous.” It was very fun.
Singersroom: The Scream Tour doesn’t really have many female acts so were you nervous about how the audience was going to react to you and Ciara performing? You had to prove yourself in front of such a hardcore fanbase that is mostly made up of young females that come to see the hottest male acts.
Tiffany Evans: You know what? I still got nervous. I get nervous period. Female artists are never really on (the) Scream Tour and it’s usually about a lot of boy bands. The first night was good! Even though they wanted to see T.I. and all of the cute guys, because it’s just about the guys, it felt good because we were able to beat that. We let them know that just because we’re not guys doesn’t mean girls don’t love us too. It was intimidating at first but we still got the same amount of love as everybody else. What boosted my confidence a bit was when I did a show with Chris Brown in Jersey and I just knew that these girls were going to tell me to shut up “We want to see Chris Brown!” but instead I got “Oh My God it’s Tiffany Evans!” and they gave me so much love.
Singersroom: When you finally break through the industry and gain a bit of fame the people that grew up around you sometimes tend to get jealous and turn their back on you. I’ve read a lot of people in the entertainment business, especially younger entertainers comment on how people that they thought were their friends ended up turning on them out of jealously. Has this happened to you and how do you deal with it?
Tiffany Evans: I was home schooled so I didn’t experience too much of it, but, people that I knew already were a little jealous. I would tell my friends “You know what? No matter what happens, no matter how big anyone gets or how big I get, I am still Tiffany Evans.” The Tiffany Evans that fights with her little brothers. I’m still Tiffany and none of this really phases me because I don’t want it. It’s just a job and we all are famous for what we do. As far as me being Tiffany Evans to my fans, I am also the same Tiffany that hangs out at home and just chills with everybody. I don’t want them to think that they are losing me.
Singersroom: How do you balance being in the industry and being a growing teenager?
Tiffany Evans: My family! If I didn’t have family around me then I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. It’s such a strong foundation and they really help me out a lot. Even though I don’t get to see them as much anymore they still keep me grounded. They still tell me “Tiffany? If you ever want to come home and chill just let us know. If it gets hard, just let us know.” We being God fearing also helps me out as well.
Singersroom: How does your family feel about your career?
Tiffany Evans: They are one thousand percent behind my back and they are proud of me. Of course, there are a lot of things that they won’t understand but they are going through the whole thing with me. The whole struggle with me, trying to get where I want to be, just as long as I don’t change, then they are fine.
Singersroom: How do you feel about being a role-model and how much pressure has come with being one?
Tiffany Evans: It is hard because I do make mistakes and with me being in the spotlight with people watching me 24/7. It’s hard for people to understand that you do mess up. There is definitely a lot of pressure but it’s good for me because it keeps me on a straight path.

At just 12 years old, singer Tiffany Evans has won a “Star Search” competition, performed on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” twice, appeared on a television show and won a part in a major motion picture. Her next step toward entertainment-world domination? Sweeping the Grammy Awards.
Over the next five or 10 years, the Bronx, New York-born Evans said, “I see myself winning 500 Grammys. I am not kidding.”
Evans has been planning this since she was 6 years old, when she simply decided that she was going to be a hugely successful singer. With her self-titled debut album slated for a January release, and her career’s trajectory heading from unknown to pop star, Evans has been cultivating this youthful optimism since she was just a toddler.
“I started singing when I was 2,” she said. “Toni Braxton songs, like love songs and stuff. People are wondering how I could talk when I was 2, but my mother started teaching me words when I was 1 year old.”
Though her childhood goals included working in the medical field, Evans knew early on that once she decided to pursue a singing career, she would focus all her attention in that direction.
“When I decided I wanted to be a singer, I said I’m gonna put everything away, the optician, the pediatrician,” she said. “I just kept on saying to myself, ‘I’m gonna be a superstar.’ ”
When Evans was 9, her family was forced out of its New York apartment and planned to move to Florida. As they were driving down, they stopped in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Evans got her first taste of what it might be like to be famous.
“We stopped by the Tropicana,” she recalled, “and inside there was the Tiffany Lounge, so I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m already a star!’ There was this band playing, and the singer was giving people the mic. And he gave it to me, and I said, ‘I’ll sing “I Will Always Love You.” ‘ It was amazing. … That was my very first appearance anywhere and singing out in public.”
Evans’ family settled in Atlantic City, and Evans visited the Tropicana frequently. There she was eventually introduced to a Columbia Records executive who told her that her voice was “a great gift from God,” and sent her to audition for “Star Search.”
After singing the song that became her good luck charm, “I Will Always Love You,” Evans earned the chance to appear on “Star Search” and won the competition. With the momentum building, she secured herself a spot on the television show “The District,” in which she acted opposite Craig T. Nelson, and then two appearances on “Oprah.”
Evans now plans to return to the show for a third time to introduce her debut album, a series of covers of some of her favorite artists’ songs.
A remake of the Stacy Lattisaw song “Let Me Be Your Angel,” which was written by her producer Narada Michael Walden, will be the first single off the album. It’s also the singer’s favorite track and the one she feels she can best relate to.
“It’s a type of love song,” she said, “somebody talking about someone she has a crush on. She loves him to death. I like the song. It’s very wonderful, and it expresses me a lot.”
The rest of Tiffany Evans includes covers of Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors,” the Jackson 5′s “I Want You Back,” and “Tomorrow” from the Broadway musical “Annie.”
With her music career taking off, and her acting career burgeoning with a role as a young child aspiring to be a singer in the upcoming “Diary of a Mad Black Woman,” Evans sometimes needs to be reminded that she’s still a kid. That’s where her nine brothers and sisters come in.
“I was onstage one time,” she said, “and my brother — he is so stupid, I can’t stand him, he’s 14 and his name is Christian — was sitting in the front row. I was singing, and he got up and pulled his pants down. And he’s like, ‘Tiffany, look!’ and I look over, and I say, ‘Don’t do this to me right now.’ And he was making weird faces, and I laughed and got the hiccups while I was singing. I would never ever place him in the front row again. I mean, that was so embarrassing.”
Despite the ups, downs and mortifying moments that are inevitable in the early stages of any young star’s career, Evans says she has never considered giving up.
“Everything has been going along amazingly,” she said. “There was a point where I was like, ‘How am I gonna do this?’ Am I gonna quit?’ But I said, ‘No, get off that subject. I’m never gonna quit.’ ”

CD Review – www.contactmusic.com
The thirteen year old Tiffany Evans, releases her eagerly-awaited debut album on Sony Urban Music/Columbia Records, will show the world how special her talents really are. Featuring songs and production from Salaam Remi (Fugees) and Narada Michael Walden (Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey) as well as Soulshock (Frankie J, Seal, Usher, Toni Braxton) and Karlin (Nelly, Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston), Tiffany Evans showcases a young lady blessed with determination, a multi-octave voice that’s been compared to Patti Labelle and Whitney Houston, and a heart-soaring passion for music.
Recorded in 2005, Tiffany Evans reflects the soulful sensibilities of her musical influences. Produced by Salaam Remi, “Who I Am,” the album’s inspirational first single, is a mid-tempo song with an unusual history (it was originally a hit for Nashville star Jessica Andrews). “At first I was like, ‘A country song? How is that going to fit for me?’” Tiffany admits. She proceeded to pour her heart into the song, making its message relevant to her audience. “It tells young women that it’s ok to be who you are,” she says. “You can have your make up off, you don’t have to be trendy, you can just be who you are and show your real personality. It’s ok just to be real.”
“I hope people will get to know who I am and get the chance to connect with me through my songs,” she says. “I’ve had some tough experiences but I’ve come through it all. I know if you can dream it, you can achieve it.”
“I really admire Whitney, Mariah, Marvin Gaye, Billie Holiday, and Aretha Franklin. I have a real love of the music that came before me because it just feels so real. Without it we wouldn’t have the music of today.” — Tiffany Evans
Like many girls her age, 13-year-old Tiffany Evans practices dance moves in front of the mirror, pours over fashion magazines, goes to the movies, spends time reading (she’s fond of history), and loves hanging out with her friends. Though her interests might be typical for a teen, her musical gifts are another story.
Tiffany Evans, her eagerly-awaited debut album on Sony Urban Music/Columbia Records, will show the world how special her talents really are.
Featuring songs and production from Grammy winners Salaam Remi (Fugees) and Narada Michael Walden (Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey) as well as Soulshock (Frankie J, Seal, Usher, Toni Braxton) and Karlin (Nelly, Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston), Tiffany Evans showcases a young lady blessed with determination, a multi-octave voice that’s been compared to Patti Labelle and Whitney Houston, and a heart-soaring passion for music.
Recorded in 2005, Tiffany Evans reflects the timeless soulful sensibilities of her musical influences. “I really admire Whitney, Mariah, Marvin Gaye, Billie Holiday, and Aretha Franklin,” Tiffany offers. “I have a real love of the music that came before me because it just feels so real. Without it we wouldn’t have the music of today.”
Multiple Grammy-winner Narada Michael Walden helped Tiffany craft a new version of his “Let Me Be Your Angel,” originally a smash hit in 1980 for the then-13-year-old Stacy Lattisaw. Tiffany makes the song her own, infusing it with a fresh and openhearted honesty.
Tiffany reworks other classics including a show-stopping rendition of “And I’m Telling You,” the “Dreamgirls’” signature song first performed by Jennifer Holiday during the musical’s original Broadway run. Tackling musical staples might have been daunting, but Tiffany welcomed the opportunity to put her stamp on familiar material.
Produced by Salaam Remi, “Who I Am,” the album’s inspirational first single, is a mid-tempo song with an unusual history (it was originally a hit for Nashville star Jessica Andrews). “At first I was like, ‘A country song? How is that going to fit for me?’” Tiffany admits. She proceeded to pour her heart into the song, making its message relevant to her audience. “It tells young women that it’s ok to be who you are,” she says. “You can have your make up off, you don’t have to be trendy, you can just be who you are and show your real personality. It’s ok just to be real.”
The groove-drenched “Strong Enough” is a song that will “…give young girls and women a sense of confidence, sort of like my own version of (Destiny’s Child’s) ‘Independent Women.’”
“Angels On Earth” is Tiffany’s “favorite song” on the album. “I listen to it whenever I’m down,” she says “It helped me realize that if I’m in a bad situation all I have to do is just pray on it, keep my faith up and things will work out.”
Thanks to faith, family and friendship, Tiffany’s learned the importance of courage and faith from first-hand experience. Born in the Bronx, one of ten children, Tiffany was raised by caring parents who sang to their kids and encouraged their artistic expressions. From a young age, Tiffany’s been in love with music. She would practice for hours and, before long, it became obvious she was blessed with a special talent. But, the Evans family had hard times to face before Tiffany would realize her dreams.
When the house they’d been renting was sold out from under them, Tiffany’s father moved the family to Atlantic City, New Jersey, in the hopes of securing work and a new home. To a little girl born and raised in the Bronx, the faded elegance of Atlantic City held out the promise of a new beginning. “When we got there–oh my goodness–the lights looked like stars!” Tiffany remembers.
As the family toured the city, Tiffany noticed a hotel showcasing a room called the Tiffany Lounge. “Oh, Daddy! Look!,” she exclaimed, “It’s named after me!” Since the Tiffany Lounge was an all ages venue, Tiffany and her father decided to check out a show. The master of ceremonies looked out into the audience, saw Tiffany, stepped off the stage, handed the little girl a microphone and asked her if she could sing. Tiffany responded with a heart-stopping rendition of “I Will Always Love You” that left the audience slack-jawed and mesmerized.
Before long, Tiffany was working with a vocal teacher who told the 10-year-old chanteuse she had “a gift from God” and should audition for “Star Search.” Tiffany went to New York City to stand in line for four hours in the dead of winter before her audition. Delivering a roof-raising rendition of “Stormy Weather,” she aced the audition and secured a spot on the show.
In February 2003, on her fourth “Star Search” appearance, Tiffany Evans won the Grand Champion title in the junior singer division, becoming the only performer in “Star Search” history to receive perfect five scores on all of her appearances.
That same year, Tiffany sang for executives at Columbia Records and was quickly offered a deal. With her musical career already on the upswing, she landed a small role on CBS’s “The District,” and appeared in the hit film, “The Diary of a Mad Black Woman,” in 2004. Tiffany continues to pursue acting with an eye on more film and TV work.
“I hope people will get to know who I am and get the chance to connect with me through my songs,” she says. “I’ve had some tough experiences but I’ve come through it all. I know if you can dream it, you can achieve it.”
Take a listen to her debut single “Who Am I” produced by Salaam Remi. A remake of Jessica Andrew’s Nashville hit:
