Tiff Randol

"Eccentricity and wild creative slashes are usually a preserve of the anarchic rock star. Not so for soulful rock chanteuse, Tiffany Randol: as a three year-old this already ascendant artist was waging war as a one-kid, anti-social crime wave. Bedroom walls were daubed in paint; Motown 45s were blasted from a Fisher Price record player in the early hours of the morning. Later, trips to a child shrink proved unrewarding. Prescriptions included "plastic sheets on the walls and ear plugs" as an answer to her parent's sleepless nights and cleaning bills. Not that it helped. As Randol grew older, there were more noisy experiments as a huge record collection swelled with the likes of Elvis Presley, Kate Bush, Guns N' Roses, Billie Holiday, The Beatles, Billy Idol, Johnny Cash and Prince. This consumption was not unrewarding, however. Now the singer-songwriter has made a habit of writing songs littered with adventurous pop hooks and drive time lyricism." (Matt Allen, MOJO Magazine).
