Tell us a little bit about yourself? 
I’m from Akron Ohio I’m from an entertainment family so that inspired me to want to sing
so I started singing and training at a early age... my grandmother Charlena Brown also
known as The Lady with the Golden voice , my grandmother was one of the first female
Gospel promoters so I started there . My uncle is Howard Hewett so I followed his steps
and one of the first steps was if you want something go get it as he did we he left Akron
and he went to LA, landed a gig with Shalimar.
So I left to follow my dreams and went to New York work there I performed at the Apollo
theater where I won three times after that I found a manager who then shopped me to
labels and within three weeks I was offered a deal my mother wanted me to go back home
to get my high school diploma I did that then went back to New York and made a deal with
a Elektra records three things that was the desire of my heart was Apollo theater ,Soul-
train and win a Grammy
 
you know the thing is I started off realizing that I loved music at the age of three it’s interesting
because you know a lot of people don’t remember things when they were three years old
however I do I remember my mom would play Natalie Cole Aretha Franklin Phyllis Hyman and I
would get on the floor and I would just vibe with the music and then she would tell me that when
she would stop the music that I would scream for her to turn it back on so I look back at those
times and that’s when I really believe that I fell in love with the music not to mention I also come
from a very talented family  
Also to mention my uncle is Howard Hewett who is the former lead singer of Shalimar who has
became a music legend So I would say my roots go very deep with music 

I had a number three billboard hit out by the name of Tene Williams the song did very well
traveled and went on tour with SWV ,Jade, H-Town ,Big daddy Kane the new Jack swing I’ve
been in the music industry for a long time I took a little time off my daughter was born with
dextrocardia and she and Underwent two open heart surgeries when she was seven and nine
and throughout those times of my life I found myself singing music that was more geared towards
restoring me and restoring what we were going through at the moment and now I’m back with
Adventurer-ready to show the world who Tiffany Bynoe is A strong woman who has endured a lot
but refuse to give up because I believe in me 
It all started for me when I was 16 years old one of my dreams Was to go on the Apollo theater
not only did I do the Apollo theater but I won three times and from there is where I met my now
husband Kyle Bynoe &Chip Taylor (Chip Taylor who wrote wild thing the head Columbia records
for 17 1/2 years , but I learned with business don’t be so eager to just sing it’s much more and
you have to prepare yourself because you never know who wants to take advantage of you so
guard up, get knowledge, and stay true to you 
When things get tough which I try to not have too many of those days because I find that you can
control the positive energy around you as well as the negative energy around you so when those
things do happen because it’s only natural is best to tap on the inside of you and realize the
potential that God has placed in you and know that that is great and there’s a place for it and that
nothing can stop you
