Tiff Jimber

    

          This is not your average piano girl. Singer Songwriter, Tiff Jimber holds nothing back when she plays, smashing out rhythms and dancing on her toes. Consistently compared to Sara Bareilles and Ben Folds, this lady showcases her diverse jazz and classical training in catchy pop songs conjured up by her influences, Billy Joel, John Mayer, Nina Simone, and Adele. 

           Tiff grew up in sunny San Diego, and like many other children, was forced to take piano lessons. Luckily, this hobby quickly grew into a passion. At age 17 Tiff released her first self-produced album of original songs, Never Takes Too Much. Upon completion of high school Tiff was accepted to the prestigious Berklee College of Music where she was rewarded a scholarship and graduated with a dual degree in Songwriting and Music Production/Engineering

After graduation, Tiff moved to Los Angeles where she currently resides in a two-car garage that she shares with one dead cockroach. Tucked away behind a Jack in the Box, with the aroma of seasoned curly fries wafting through the garage, Tiff has used this inspiration to write the song “Garage,” featured on the new album Burning At Both Ends -May 2009. The new album was financed through a fundraising campaign solely organized by Tiff and her loyal fans, with proceeds totaling over $10,000. Each song on the new album is a delicious bite of pop music with intricate, catchy melodies that feature Tiff’s talent and passion for playing the piano. This new album introduces listeners to a few quirky instruments; the accordion and stylophone. Tiff collaborated with Producer Matt Bobb, who produced and co-wrote numerous tracks on the album, along with Producer Oren Hadar, who co-wrote and produced the track, “People Always Go.” With the creative talents of  Bobb and Hadar and the amazing musicianship of Eli Hludzick (Drums), Jonny Morrow (Bass) and Chris Peterson (Guitar), the new album is a gem amongst piano pop albums.

Tiff is no stranger to the hardships and sacrifices one must make for a dream to come true. Under DIY in the dictionary, there is a picture of Tiff practicing, booking, promoting, writing, and managing her career. She books all her own tours, plays over 100 shows a year and handles all marketing and scheduling, all while meticulously crafting her songs.

Since moving to Los Angeles Tiff has engineered and assisted on many projects and played in several bands. She has opened for Marcy Playground, San Diego Symphony, White Buffalo, Maire Digby, and Meiko.Tiff has worked  with Phil Collins; Blink 182; The Foo Fighters; Queensrÿche to name a few. She also sang on vocal tracks for movies such as, The Grudge (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Hide and Seek (Robert De Niro), and Love Happens (Jennifer Anniston). Her songs have appeared in promos for The Blind Side and Dolphin Tale. Most recently Tiff had the pleasure of performing on Vh1 reality t.v. show, "Rock N Roll Fantasy Camp" Season 2. This was an inspiring experience and she was mentored by Matt Sorum (Guns N Roses/ Velvet Revolver/The Cult.) Along with the advice and guidance from Matt she got to perform with: Sammy Hagar (Van Halen), Paul Stanley (KISS), Marky Ramone ((The Ramones), and Phil Colin (Def Leppard). 

Her first album was nominated for AAA album of the year by The Los Angeles Music Awards and she has been awarded the ASCAP Plus Award 2011, 2010, 2009.  Her song "City Life," received honorable mention from Billboard and placed in the Australian Songwriting Contest.
