We’re looking forward to introducing you to Tiffani Michelle. Check out our conversation below.
Hi Tiffani Michelle, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What do you think is misunderstood about your business?
What I think is misunderstood about my business is that my music is ONLY for entertainment purposes. I have built a music brand that is authentic, spiritual, and healing. I want people to connect to the music and artwork and feel the experience also to support their own healing.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
A visionary creative on higher self and frequency, I am Tiffani Michelle an Independent Neo-Soul Alternative R&B Artist-Songwriter-Producer. I am from Austin, TX, The Live Musical Capital of the World” and a degreed trained multi-instrumentalist, composer, vocalist, arranger, producer, and songwriter. As an advocate of the healing arts in self care and higher self, I have designed a career fusion with my music, as a counselor, and as an adjunct psychology professor. My poetic songwriting connects to the multidimensional of the human experience that is my signature; An authentic journey of self reflection on higher self.
Since 2011, I’ve accomplished my music being featured internationally. In the United Kingdom, United States, Brazil, and France I have been featured in magazines, blogs, radio & television interviews, hospitals in the United Kingdom, podcasts, playlists, radio stations, radio shows, health platforms and hospitals in the UK and USA.
With 22 singles in my career that made independent music charts, my 7th self-titled LP, ‘TIFFANI MICHELLE‘ celebrated my work with two ‘Records of the Week’ by Neo2Soul and I was honored as ‘Artist of the Week’ with ‘The Urban Influencer UK Charts’ both in the United Kingdom.
In my higher self initiatives, I am a philanthropist and has provided scholarships and grants for women in my signature, ‘Tiffani Michelle DIAMOND Grant & Scholarship Program’ and has awarded to date 4 grants and 2 high school scholarships to women. A Speaker and as an international consultant, I served on international panels, and presents on holistic self care, mental health, counseling, and music therapy in the United States and United Kingdom. I am featured and was a spotlight in the ‘Same Skin’ BIPOC community and in 2021 by invitation only from Forbes, became a member of the prestigious Forbes Women Forum.
I am excited to continue to contribute to writing with authors international. The last time I contributed to a book from an author was in the United Kingdom and this time the author is from the United States. Recently I became one of the Directors for Positive Networks C.I.C. in the United Kingdom. Last, I am currently working on my 8th album, ‘Blue Moon’ with film, art, and book projects in the works for 2026.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Not being truthful, authentic, accountable, and loyal breaks the bonds between people. A lesson I had to learn in this runway of life is that I had to let people be who they are and I can’t change people. I do have high expectations for people and want everyone to “win” and operate on their full potential. Less talk and more action is my philosophy. What restores bonds is the same characteristics I’ve mentioned: Being truthful, authenticity, accountability, and loyalty.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
When I started pursuing music as a Recording Artist-Songwriter-Producer my music became my music therapy and healing. Every album was a season in my life so the stories in the music was my testimony and people connected to it. Also, because I am a counselor and an adjunct psychology professor I am able to song write in a way that one can feel the experience in that moment of time. God open doors for my music to evolve in other creative platforms internationally with interviews, on radio shows, podcasts, magazines, and speaking engagements. This journey has been healing and I am blessed to have my music also to create dialogue and conversation.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
In the music industry, I feel it sells dreams to inspiring artists and they do not understand the business of music. Being an independent artist allows me to be a small business owner and label. I handle all the creative control, marketing, and distribution. Being with a label I would not have that control because they fund everything like a loan company.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: If you laid down your name, role, and possessions—what would remain?
Authenticity, Realness, and Vibrance striving to be a reflection of the Most High!
