The EP was released worldwide through Rhythm 252 Music Group – her joint independent imprint with Kevin ‘Kwiz’ Ryan. In less than two years since its launch, Tiffany MonÃque has amassed an impressive international fan base of thousands, including superstar, Beyoncé: "Tiffany's voice has effortless strength, sass, seduction, and heart with a tone that puts you at ease," said Beyoncé. "I am very lucky to have worked with her for many years and I am proud that she now has such a wonderful piece of work to share with the world." A native of Nashville, Tennessee, Tiffany moved to Newark, New Jersey as a young child. Immediately, Tiffany became actively involved in church and was a director in the church’s music ministry by high school. In addition to her gospel roots, Tiffany found joy listening to seasoned soul singers on the radio, including Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, Whitney Houston, Vesta and Chaka Khan. In 1995, Tiffany was awarded a music scholarship to Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland. During this period, she joined a local girl group – ‘On Point’. The group was featured with MCA recording artists K-Ci & Jo-Jo on the remix version of “Fee Fie Foe Fum†from their 1999 album release ‘It’s Real’, but later disbanded due to internal management conflicts. Tiffany’s sights shifted to a solo career after returning home and graduating from William Paterson University in New Jersey.</p> <p style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Malayalam MN'; "><br></p><p style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 11px/normal 'Malayalam MN'; ">In 2007, Tiffany received a phone call from Beyoncé’s creative director, Kim Burse, offering her the opportunity to sing background for an upcoming tour.
