 Born on October 2, 1971 in Norwalk, CA, Tiffany’s career
began at the age of five singing songs mature beyond her years- songs such as
“Delta Dawn” and “Devil Woman.” Within months, she was singing at fairs and
openings across the country and appearing on talent shows such as “Star Search.”
By the time Tiffany was 13 years old, her voice and
determination landed her in front of the producer team of George Tobin and Brad
Schmidt. Soon after, she landed a recording contract with MCA Records and began
work on her first album - the self titled debut Tiffany.
To promote the album, a plan was hatched to have Tiffany
perform nationwide at shopping malls and within weeks she was singing to over
5,000 screaming fans in Salt Lake City, Utah. “Mall managers started to look at
Tiffany differently after Salt Lake City. The turnouts were getting enormous,”
explains Schmidt. "It started out as a marketing tool and as a way to get her in
front
of people and it turned into a phenomenon.”
Overnight, Tiffany had become a pop culture and teen icon
featured in magazines, newspapers, and even on The Tonight Show. Both "I Think
We’re Alone Now” and “Could’ve Been” were US #1 singles and "I Saw Him Standing
There” was a top ten included on her debut album in 1987. Tiffany even knocked
the King of Pop Michael Jackson out of the number one spot on the album charts -
humble beginnings with a mall tour had unbelievably led to two number one
records and album sales past the six million mark, and over fourteen million
records sold worldwide. Her second album, Hold An Old Friend’s Hand went double
platinum and included the top ten hit “All This Time.”
By the early 1990’s, Tiffany decided to take a break. “People
think I disappeared. But I took time away to be a person, not just a
personality,” she says. "I wanted to grow as a person, a mother, a wife and as
an artist. I didn’t feel like I had to be in the public’s eye when I didn’t have
anything to say.” Tiffany is now married and the mother of an eight-year-old son
Elijah.
With the 2001 release of The Color of Silence, Tiffany is
back with her first full-length record in over 10 years. The new album, by the
rejuvenated star, includes 7 songs written or co-written by Tiffany, an
accomplishment she is especially proud of. "I have really challenged myself to
write the best songs I can and I feel like I have been able to stretch beyond
what people may expect
to hear from me- this time, I had to do it my way.”
If the reviews of The Color of Silence are any indication of
Tiffany’s career ahead, it appears she may be back in it for the long run.
“...The Color of Silence is thoughtful, intelligent, and full
of grace. It's also unpretentious. Consider it Tiffany’s equivalent to Alanis
Morissette’s landmark, ‘Jagged Little Pill.’” (Billboard, 8.2000)
"The Color of Silence is one of the finest pop albums of
2000.” (Billboard, 9.2000)
“Super sexy!” (Spin.com, 7.2000)
“The Color of Silence shines the spotlight on a woman who’s
experienced life’s peaks and valleys.” (Detroit News, 10.2000)
Recent appearances include E!, Celebrity Boot Camp, Street
Smarts, VH1's 80’s tribute, and many more to be announced.
Tiffany also appeared as a centerfold in the second largest
selling issue of Playboy magazine.
