Raised in rural Virginia, Tiffany Savion moved to the Left Coast -- to serve her country in the armed forces -- then never left. Tiffany is a life coach, a yoga instructor, a physical trainer, a passionate and improving beach volleyball player -- as well as a thoroughly LA woman. She is and has been a model, an actor, a musician, a performer. Oh, and, did we mention? She is a vocalist; she can sing. She has been on-stage and in front of audiences from an early age, and now realizing a lifelong dream by creating and performing this musical theatrical showcase production. She is the mother of three spectacularly beautiful children; she lives in and loves Santa Monica. We hope you enjoy her.
