When at the age of 4 Tiffany’s parents moved to Minneapolis Minnesota in hopes to start a new life for their family.
At a young age Tiffany knew she was gifted but could not pin point what she wanted to do. Her mother involved her in extracurricular activities such as dance, acting and piano. Unfortunately Tiffany did not commit even though she still had the skill. As Tiffany grew older her intellect began to rapidly expand. By fifth grade Tiffany committed herself to learning and playing the saxophone, challenging herself by learning notes and becoming skillful. In elementary school Tiffany was handpicked to be one in a gifted and talented class. She also won awards for young inventors. Her writing skills phenomenal, by sixth grade Tiffany won an essay contest to attend space camp. Her writing skills grew rapidly, but were not exercised artistically. 
Tiffany attended Edison High school where she took up cosmetology but later her interest for being a beautician soon diminished. By her junior year she transferred to Henry High school where her main goal was to just graduate. By the time Tiffany reached her senior year Tiffany was affiliated with gang members from the streets but her father did not approve. He demanded that she be sent away to college. When being exposed to the college life, Tiffany made her decision to go to college.
Tiffany attended Lincoln University of Missouri where she took up social work. There she found her musical talents.  She attended the Lincoln University Choir, Gospel choir, vocal training, and her favorite class the Lincoln University Vocal Ensemble.

California was a huge and significant turning point in Tiffany’s life. Being a single mother and looking for work while homeless taught Tiffany Survival Skills. After struggling for a year Tiffany got on her two feet and worked, paid bills and handled motherly duties.
 Her friend from college was a huge musical influence and that’s when her dreams began to shift into her passion. She started off as a talent manager. Her experience in the industry took her far with musical connections. As Tiffany went through tough times she began to write more and more challenging her self to different styles of poetry. “it became an addiction, I would get a rush off of making a dope rhyme to a beat I like.”Tiffany Aspires to not only be the best but to send a positive message to the Masses through her music.
Tiffany’s style would be described as conscious Hip hop/rap music with a mix of soul poetry. Tiffany’s love for music is very diverse and artful which reflects her personality. She states, I’m all over the place that that’s why I can’t fit in a box.”
