While most girls were singing into their hairbrushes to New Kids on the Block, Tiffany was oblivious to any dreams of “stardom”. As a pre-teen, she hadn’t even thought of what the future would hold for her life. With her early teen years on the rise, however, she began praying simply for God’s direction for her future…for a career that would bless others.

Her music career started for her unknowingly at age eight, when she sang with her mother in church. It continued sporadically, but singing was just a hobby until she turned fifteen. Tiffany was volunteering at a nursing home at the time, and she noticed the people loved it when music was played for them, but some couldn't make it out of their rooms to enjoy it. She wanted to sing for them, but couldn't haul the family's keyboard from one room to the next. A garage sale purchase held the answer to her predicament. At this sale was a guitar with a bent neck, but still playable, for seven-dollars. She found books and videos at the nearest library, semi-mastering a few chords that enabled her to sing a small array of songs. With this first guitar she fell in love with God's gift of music.
Tiffany's youth pastor heard about her endeavors through her parents. He asked her to sing for worship on a Wednesday night, and the rest…is history. From there she began writing songs and learning from other musicians by watching them play. Her church's worship pastor gave her tips and advice as to how she should play songs, while friends helped her out with the popular songs she wanted to learn and extra finger work.

Her father and mother greatly supported her musical interests, recognizing a God-given talent, and put her into a junior talent contest held by the nationally syndicated Steve and DC in the Morning show. Her first in-studio appearance she won, in the judges' own words, "hands down". For this appearance she sang a song she wrote, Sound of Rain, which is now the title track on her just released CD. With the $500 prize money, she bought a new electric-acoustic guitar, and started writing more music.

Tiffany's family, at this time, was trying to find a home for their family dog Gideon. The word was put out at Airedale Antiques in St. Charles that her family was looking for a good home for him. A lady visiting from Branson, Missouri, spoke to the owner of the store and told them she was looking for an Airedale. Not so ironically, the woman's husband just so happened to be a musician and has a ministry to musicians in the Branson area. This music connection was discovered when Tiffany and her family drove to Branson to complete their pet adoption. Tiffany's parents, after finding out about this music connection asked for a professional opinion. It was favorable and the offer was extended to help Tiffany in any way possible. Before long a four-track demo CD was recorded, and the tracks were being heard in five different states!

Tiffany finished a ten-track CD, and wants more than ever to use the gift that God has given her. From a questioning adolescent to an adult with a mission in life, she is now undertaking the biggest challenge she has ever faced - impacting the world with her music.
