Life and career


1992–2006: Early life and Tiffany Evans EP


Evans was born in the Bronx in New York City. Evans got her first break on Showtime at the Apollo at the age of 9. In February 2003, in her Star Search appearance, Evans won the Grand Champion title in the junior singer division, becoming the only performer in Star Search history to receive perfect five scores on all of her appearances. In the competition, Evans competed against fellow singers Lisa Tucker and David Archuleta, who both later appeared on American Idol. Evans has starred in an episode of Law & Order: SVU, playing actor Blair Underwood's daughter. That same year, she sang for executives at Columbia Records and was offered a recording contract deal at 10 years old. With her musical career already on the upswing, she landed a small role on CBS's The District. In 2005, Evans made her feature film debut in Tyler Perry's Diary of a Mad Black Woman as Brian Simmons' daughter, played by Perry himself. She also contributed to the movie soundtrack on "Father, Can You Hear Me" featuring Cheryl Pepsii Riley, Tamela Mann, Terrell Carter, and Anya Washington. After signing with Columbia Records, her first single "Let Me Be Your Angel", a cover of Stacy Lattisaw's song was released in 2004 with a music video. The song was a minor R&B hit, peaking at #95 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Soon after, her self-titled debut EP featuring eight tracks (all covers) and a bonus DVD was released. One additional single "The Christmas Song" was digitally released, as well as her rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner." The album soon became scarce, as it was made available for a limited time at online retailers as well as the clothing store Limited Too!. She began work on a new album, with a couple of digital singles (2005's "Thinkin' About" and 2006's "Who I Am") released.

She premiered the official video on BET's 106 & Park on January 18, 2011 as the "New Joint of the Day." Unfortunately, promotion for the album was ceased after Evans announced on March 29, 2011 her departure from Music World Entertainment and Columbia Records. Following her departure, Evans started her own company called Little Lady Enterprises, which served as her independent label. On October 1, 2011 Tiffany Evans released a buzz single entitled "Won't Find Me" to give fans a feel of the music that she is preparing to bring to the table while doing everything independently. The single was followed by a video as well.
