Tianna was born and raised in Oregon where she excelled in all performance art - singing, dancing, acting, musical theatre, and instruments. After taking dance classes from age 4, and performing in a variety of talent shows, she discovered that she had a natural gift to command an audience with her charisma, charm and stage presence.
After countless community and school productions, Tianna joined the Broadway Rose Theatre Co. and performed back-to-back rehearsals and live shows six days per week in summer stock theatre for five seasons. Standing among some of the most gifted entertainers recruited from New York City, she quickly matured and polished her professional stage skills in order to rise up to stand beside her peers. She also has been seen in television commercials and has performed live for local news broadcasts.
Tianna developed a love for country music as a teenager - for the melodic story-telling of life, love and the human condition, and its toe-tapping danceability. She has since embraced every opportunity to perform or compete as a vocalist in country music. Tianna recorded her first studio vocal demo in Seymour, Tennessee.
Additionally, Tianna has fronted many large and small musical groups, from a six-piece dance band to vocalizing with one of Hawaii's favorite musicians, John Valentine. She was also the featured lounge entertainer at Nick's Fish Market in Honolulu, Hawaii. Tianna has always been center stage - starring in theatre productions, singing the national anthem at sports events, entertaining tourists at beach resorts, singing and dancing on hay at the county fair, and riling up the crowd with dueling pianos! Musicians that have worked with her have described her as being consistently personable, professional, reliable, and spirited.
Some of her earliest influences include Bette Midler, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, Tina Turner, and Heart. Today, she is also inspired by Reba McEntire, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, and Gretchen Wilson. Tianna's talents are as diverse as her influences and she always brings a little bit of country, rock & roll, (and theatrics!) to every show.
Today, Tianna is enjoying a wide variety of stage work including DJ-ing, hosting karaoke, guest spots at local events, and booking special engagements with local entertainers. Currently, she is seeking opportunities in music recording, hosting events, and working in television and film.
