Tiffany ‘TT’ Thomas
Tiffany grew up in South Caicos, Turks & Caicos Islands better known by others as the “Big South.” As a child she could be heard singing nursery rhymes like “You are my sunshine” and running through the house having her own Karaoke performances. Tiffany was raised into a musical family where all her parents and siblings sang, recorded gospel music, played an instrument, or wrote songs. It’s like someone said, “If you get up in the morning and the only thing you could think about is singing, then you’re a singer.” Everyone knew she was going to be a star one-day, she was destined to sing.

Music…it got her under control, as CP would say it.  Her musical inspiration for singing publicly began at the age of 8 years old, singing in the church’s junior choir and continued into the Youth Choir.  Tiffany sang solo, lead and backup during Youth Sunday’s, Inter-Island Youth Conferences, School Choir events, and at Weddings.

She was known growing up for singing the National Anthem “God Save Our Gracious Queen” at Basket Ball games, conferences, graduations, and high school parliamentary debates.

Her big debut came when Kaz Hall featured her on Turks and Caicos first R&B slow midnight jam entitled: “Letting Go.” The music waves blasted when that song came to light. Her second co-featured song was produced with Caribbean Music Farm founder, Noel Browne entitled: “Anything For You.” Those two songs boosted Tiffany’s popularity, awareness and artist appeal.

Her voice continues to captivate all, as she performs as one of Caribbean Music Farm’s lead vocalist at the “Big South” Regatta 2008 festival in the Turks and Caicos Islands, at weddings, restaurants and corporate events throughout Florida, Atlanta, Colorado, and New York. Tiffany is a Talented, Inspirational, Fabulous, Fun-loving, Ambitious, and Assertive woman. Tiffany is continuously recording new music and new tunes produced by Noel Browne and Kenly Franklin of CMF and Derek Yarde of Vert X in St Lucia are forthcoming.

Rhoda travelled to Aruba to perform for the Caribbean Fest Magazine, there after to New York City for the Pre-Gala Grammy Award event.

She is a regular in the calypso and Soca Monarch competition as one of the background vocalist for the competing Calypsonians. She also toured with artists such as Kymani Marley the son of the Legendary Bob Marley.
