Tiffany Evans enjoys life. Whether she's doing the hottest new dance moves in front of the mirror, hanging out with her friends or pouring over fashion. Tiffany radiates the joy of a teenager having fun and making the most of what the world has to offer. Nowhere is her exuberant outlook expressed better than when she sings. She might be just a teen, but her musical ability shows experience, passion and wisdom coming from a place far beyond the date on her birth certificate. With a multi-octave voice already drawing comparisons to legendary ladies like Patti Labelle and Whitney Houston, this Bronx, New York native blends classic R&B and pop vocalizing with a self-reliant attitude and a bubbly teenage energy. Tiffany Evans marks Tiffany Evan's long-awaited Columbia Records debut. Featuring songs and production from Grammy winner Narada Michael Walden (Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey), explosive beatmakers The Clutch and DJ Smurf, and a guest spot from platinum-selling songstress Ciara, Tiffany Evans "reflects who I really am," says Tiffany. "It's from my heart." One listen to Tiffany Evans and it's clear that now is Tiffany's time to shine. Tiffany kicked things off with an infectious first single "Promise Ring," an upbeat portrait of young love from a young lady's point-of-view. “Promise Ring” went on to a whopping 2.1 million MUSIC CHOICE demands. Produced by DJ Smurf and Brian "B-Nasty" Reid, "Promise Ring" features Tiffany's creative mentor, Ciara. "I was so excited to work with Ciara because I'm such a fan!" Tiffany exclaims. "The whole experience was just awesome." Tiffany’s current single, is the Rodney Jerkins produced, “I’m Grown”, featuring multi-platinum label-mate Bow Wow. Tiffany's respect and appreciation for Ciara is definitely reciprocal. "Tiffany is very fun to work with," Ciara observes. "She has so much personality and energy. She is very mature for her age. When I work with her in the studio, she reminds me of myself when I was younger in so many ways. She knows what she wants and is not afraid to ask questions and give creative input. Her vocals are very strong, powerful and soulful with the kind of voice that you want to hear a cappella. And she records pretty fast! Her single 'Promise Ring' is undeniably a hit and is just a small taste of what's in store. I can't wait for the world to hear her." During the recording process, Tiffany had grown from a precocious kid to a polished young woman and wanted her new album to reflect her maturation. Just one listen to Tiffany’s single “I’m Grown”, will prove she is no ordinary teenager. One of the songs Tiffany kept in the tracklisting of her new album is her emotional cover of "Let Me Be Your Angel," produced by multiple Grammy-winner Narada Michael Walden. Tiffany makes the song--originally a smash hit in 1980 for a then-13-year-old Stacy Lattisaw--her own in a luscious emotional rendition.
At the age of 10, Tiffany was working with a vocal teacher who told her she had "a gift from God" and should try out for "Star Search." Hoping to audition Tiffany went to New York City and stood in line, in the dead of winter, for four hours. Delivering a roof-raising rendition of "Stormy Weather," Tiffany 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. She also became 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.
Although she's only 15, Tiffany Evans has poured a lifetime into her music: music that speaks to her generation but which has the passion to appeal to everyone. "I am so proud of this record," Tiffany says. "All I have ever wanted is to share my voice. I am so blessed that I get to do something I love and that I can share my music and dreams."
