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.

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.

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.

You’ve been recording your debut album. Who have you been working with?

Bow Wow’s on my second single and the producers I worked with were Collie Parks, Hit Boy and Rodney Jerkins. We might have some more features but you never know you have to keep your ears open!

What do your friends and family think about your success?

They’re 10000% supportive of me and are excited about everything that’s been going on. They’re really proud of me and I have a strong foundation that keeps me going. If someone doesn’t have parents who are supportive of what they do it’s hard. So many people enter this business without that kind of support. They’re still trying to take it all in.

Do you sometimes feel that people don’t take you seriously because of your age?

Most definitely and I like the opportunity to set them straight. It’s going to be like that for a while but my record ‘I’m Grown’ has helped me out with expressing my feelings and letting people know the new-found Tiffany Evans and how much I’ve grown.

What else don’t you like about the music industry so far?

I don’t like the pressure to be someone you’re not. It’s just the peer pressure of people making you to things you don’t really want to. You have to be stronger than that and have thick skin when you enter this business.

Have you met any of your idols since you’ve been signed to your label?

I met my inspiration, Whitney Houston. I love her so much, she’s amazing. I also met Celine Dion and some other great singers. It was really cool speaking to Whitney, she told me about the music industry and how she started out. She told me to stay focused and to keep my guard up and always use my gift to the best of my abilities.

What do you think about Whitney recording a new album?

I love it! I’ve been waiting for her to come back for a long time. She’s everything to me and I’m very excited to see what she has in store.

Do you write your own songs?

I do write my songs but a lot of the songs I wrote didn’t make the album this time. Hopefully I’ll have a lot of input on my next album. I just wanted to learn and see how people worked and how they wrote because I’m still new to this.

What else would you like to do differently for your next album?

That’s a good question. I just want to be as different as possible. I don’t want to be like anybody else. I want to be in my own lane. I’m trying to be as unique and versatile as possible on the next album.

What do you think makes you different from other artists out there right now?

Just me, period. My voice, my personality. I think I’m a unique person! It’s my attitude and my happy spirit.

Is there anything else you’d like to get involved with in entertainment?

I definitely love acting and I want to make it a big part of my career. I would like people to see the acting side of me. I’m interested in dramatic roles because I’m so dramatic! I want to play one good dramatic role that people can respect me and how I work when I get into that kind of persona.

Where do you hope to be in five years’ time?

Hopefully I’ll have some Grammies under my belt and have millions of records sold. I definitely want to have been in some movies as well. I will work hard for it!
