Singing has always been this Jersey Girl's life-long love. Born and raised in northeast New Jersey, Tiffany Carlen grew up with the sounds of Patsy Cline, The Judds, Dean Martin, Tanya Tucker, and Ray Charles, to mention a few, playing on her parents radio. Her Spiritual upbringing by her parents provided her the avenue to sing in front of a Church family, first with her Dad and then duets with her sister, and she extended her talents to school chorus and plays. She planted her boots in Texas in 1996 and has called it home ever since. While residing in Fort Worth, she spent several years singing at various Opry houses, and while in living in the “music city” Lubbock, she sang with South 87 and worked her way into the music circle. Her country roots and talented family can be traced back to the Dunn Sisters, a local trio from Illinois, to today’s Michael Carlen, an established gospel singer and evangelist. “As I grew up and expanded my ear for music, I was influenced by Reba, Trisha Yearwood, Stevie Nicks, Wynonna, Bonnie Raitt, Etta James and Billy Joel, to name a few. I appreciate the talent of singer/songwriters and have a passion for writing. The versatile sounds I love to listen to is what helped me establish my own style, country, with a touch of blues and classic rock and the soul of the Carlen family heritage.” Her passion for the sound of a voice and her ear for the piano is what brings her to this juncture in life. She’s drawn to pen and paper to let her feelings and stories flow, and has been playing piano for more than 20 years. “Every person comes to a crossroads in his or her life where you have to decide which way to go. So here I go a journey I have enjoyed so far and I can’t wait to see where to next. Only God knows where I will land.” Tiffany currently lives in the Fort Worth area while she works to complete her first album as an unsigned artist.

Your musical influences
I have been influenced by so many talented Artists and still am, especially when new songs come out that are written so poetically and tell an incredible story like some of Gary Allen's songs, and Pink, raw and real emotion and passion. A song or the voice is what usually draws me to an Artist, but after I embraced my own writing, it was more important that the words attached themselves to the Artist/Writer, like in the last album the Chic's recorded...thier best yet, raw, honest, beautiful arrangements. But if I had to share, my earliest unfluences were a strange mix, Patsy Cline, Journey, Billy Joel, Reba, Tanya Tucker. But I love all genres, not every song in every genre, but some from each one and a multitude of Artists who have touched me in some way.I can never get tired of listening to "Taken", but I am sooo ready to listen to some of your other stuff. Can't wait!All comments (2)
