Tiffani’s love of music showed at a very early age. Inspired by pop icon, Madonna, she knew from the age of four that singing was her future. She remembers driving along with her mom, when she heard Madonna come on the radio and was so moved by the beat of the music, that she knew, without a doubt, that music was what she wanted to devote her life to. Growing up with a musician as a father, Tiffani has been saturated in music for as long as she can remember. Beginning her journey as a songwriter at the young age of 10, she would often wake up as a child with unwritten songs in her head and could not fall back asleep until they were written. She had always wanted to learn to play instruments to accompany her voice. While her dad plays guitar and piano, he didn’t have much patience for teaching. So, once she got to college, she enrolled in an introductory piano class, where she learned the basics about chord structure. After the class was over, she continued to teach herself by ear for several years. Later, to hone her piano skills, she traded out voice lessons for piano lessons with the keyboardist in her band, Mark Enevoldsen, son of Bob Enevoldsen, the famous jazz saxophonist of the 50's.
In her personal life, Tiffani is a martial artist, holding two black belts in different Japanese disciplines that she has been studying since age 13. She believes that young girls need to have strong female role models and she tries to embody that strength through her training. Martial arts has taught her many life lessons, one of which, is persistence. When you fail, try and try again. You will always succeed, as long as you never give up on yourself.
Tiffani is very big on giving back to the world. Most everyone that knows her, knows that she is an avid animal rights activist. As well as being vegetarian for the latter half of her life, she also manages multiple animal rights fan pages, one of which helps to connect fosters, rescues and donors to the animals that are in jeopardy of being euthanized at the local animal shelter. She likes to spend her free time doing things that are beneficial to the environment and humankind. She has volunteered for Habitat for Humanity, building houses for disabled veterans, and spent a month living at an orphanage, in a small village in the Kampong Chhnang Province of Cambodia, teaching the children English. She continues her work with the orphanage, by doing fundraisers and toy drives for them.
Driven by passion, Tiffani Jenée is a person that follows the fire inside her to make her dreams come true. Once she has set her mind to something, she will not give up on it until she succeeds. Music is not void of that drive. Music has been her love since childhood and it will continue to be so.
