Tiffany was born in Wilkes-Barre, PA on October 25, 1980. She is the oldest of four children (all girls). Her earliest influences in music from her musician grandparents and film musicals including “The Sound of Music,” “West Side Story,” “Oklahoma,” “My Fair Lady,” and “The King and I”.  Throughout the years, she picked up several musical instruments including the piano, violin, acoustic guitar, accordion, and was constantly singing. She began studying dance at the age of three (tap and ballet) and jazz dance (at the age of 7) with Kathy Burke (niece of famed dancer/actor, Gene Kelly) and continued to study throughout school and into college (later picking up modern dance, lyrical dance, and hip hop dance). Tiffany began formal vocal training at the age of 12 and performed in several vocal recitals, concerts, and choirs. She continued her studies in musical theatre at age 13 when she attended the Encore Music Camp of Pennsylvania at Wilkes University located in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Her classes included musical repertoire classes, solfegio classes, vocal theory classes, acting while singing, and acting classes. She attained principle singing and acting roles in the camp's stage productions which included an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical revue and Shakespearean plays. She continued studying at Wilkes University throughout the school year at Wilkes Community Conservatory, the fall and winter version of 'Encore' which included acting classes, private voice lessons, concert choir, and a musical theatre class. She studied voice with accomplished opera vocalist, Eileen Hannisch. She also had some music studies with Alan Baker and Sue Kelly. Along with performing with the Conservatory, she began performing in other theatre companies including the Music Box Dinner Playhouse, and The Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre. She won the much sought after role of Tuptim in 'The King and I.'  Other productions included Oklahoma, Me and My Girl, and Jesus Christ Superstar.  She also aquired roles in operas including Betty Parris in 'The Crucible,' and Third Spirit in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 'The Magic Flute.' The summer before her senior year of high school, she attended the prestigious pre-college program at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA majoring in Musical Theatre. After graduating high school in June of 1998, she relocated to Pittsburgh, PA. That fall, she attended Seton Hill University's musical theatre program. She quickly got involved with the Pittsburgh theatre scene and even got into film when she had a minor role in a horror film that was distributed by Troma Entertainment. She also won the role of one of two Free Style Jazz Singers in the world premiere of Marta Effinger's Whispers Want to Holler with the Kuntu Repretory Theatre. This role presented Tiffany with the challenge of singing in a style different than what she had been trained to do, but she took it head on. She ended up meeting and briefly working with internationally acclaimed jazz musician, Billy Harper, who had written music for the production. Some other theatre roles include Lovers and Other Strangers (Brenda), Fiddler on the Roof (Hodel), On the Town (Claire de Lune), Falsettos (Charlotte), Ed Wood Slept Here (Paige Harper), Kiss of the Spider Woman (Principle Dancer), Miracle on 34th Street (Mara, Choreographer), and various roles with the Gemini Theatre's childrens plays. In the recent years she has aquired film credits, released two EPs (Porcelain Doll and Poet) and in February 2008 released her debut album Poet followed by a tour which lasted through 2008-2009. The EPs and album has aquired physical and digital sales in the US, Europe, South America, Canada, New Zealand, and Asia. She is currently working on her second album with Jason English (Poet) and Rowen Poole (of the prog rock band, Persephone's Dream). She and Jason English also started the production company and record label, Poets Labyrinth. In 2009, Tiffany also recieved a distribution and promotion deal with the Indie label, Shinto Records. Her acapella song, "Lost Little Girl" was also an American Finalist in the 2009 Best New Song in the World Contest, a contest based on fan votes.
