Tiffany Janell: Power and Soul

It all started in the backseat of a car. As she was riding along listening to Mariah Carey’s “Hero”, Tiffany Janell, who was 10 years old at the time, began to sing along. Tiffany’s parents paused in awe, asking her to keep singing, in acapella and now, years later she graces us all with her soulful and vibrant voice through her different social media channels. Her voice has a power and emotion that will leave you wanting more, and Tiffany’s infectious personality will have you wondering just what she has to offer to the world.

While Tiffany says that she can identify with many genres of music from Jazz, to Salsa, she admits that her home is in R&B/Soul. Her musical influences vary, “Currently If P!nk and Adele had a musical baby it would be Tiffany Janell,” she says. However, growing up in a Puerto Rican household, Tiffany was also influenced by artists like La India, Marc Anthony and La Lupe.

Tiffany’s ultimate goal is to be able to do music full time. She has gone to great lengths to be able to make this dream a reality, moving from Philly to California in order to pursue her dream. “It has its challenges, but I've learned the hard way nothing grows in comfort zones,” she shares. Tiffany dreams of one day having crowds of people singing her music with her and she hopes to make music that people can relate to; just like her musical role model, Pink.

Tiffany’s message to the world is loud and clear, “be reminded that your dreams matter!” She hopes to inspire people to invest love and time in themselves, saying that everyone should “sing and dance to your own beat.”
