Meet Tiffany Johnson of Music Industry

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tiffany Johnson.

Hi Tiffany, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I grew up surrounded by music in the Black Hills of South Dakota, where I first discovered my love for singing and songwriting. My musical journey started early—playing piano since kindergarten, and by the time I turned eight, I got a guitar for my birthday. That’s when I truly dove into songwriting, and there was no turning back!

Music was always a big part of my family. My dad was in a band, and he gave me countless opportunities to take the stage with him. He didn’t just teach me how to play guitar—he also taught me how to sing and perform with passion and confidence.

In my hometown, there’s an event called the Wild West Songwriter’s Festival. I went every year starting at the age of seven, pitching my original songs and networking with industry pros. I’d walk up to them and ask, “Do you want to give me a record deal?” Many of the attendees were A&Rs, CEOs, writers, and musicians from Nashville, so it was my way of connecting with the music capital from afar.

As my love for songwriting grew, I started attending songwriting camps in Nashville, hosted by the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) and at the Country Music Hall of Fame. I soaked up everything I could from those experiences, eager to learn and grow.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Like anything in life, there have definitely been struggles along the way. I’ve had my moments of not feeling comfortable in my own skin, but I truly feel like I’m finally coming into my own—becoming more confident and proud of who I am. I’ve always had a wide range of musical influences, and I love to shake things up creatively. Experimenting and trying new things is part of the fun for me. I never want to be known as someone who always sticks to the same thing, and accepting that wasn’t easy, especially in a world that loves to put people in boxes.

Nashville is, of course, famous for its country music, and the industry here revolves heavily around radio play. I absolutely enjoy writing country music—I was raised on it. But when it comes to my own artistry, I’ve found myself wanting to branch out. That’s not always the easiest thing to do in this industry, and I’ve often felt like I’ve had to push just to feel like I’m allowed to be different.

My music blends pop, country, rock, and folk. It’s a reflection of everything that makes me… me! Embracing that mixture used to feel like a disadvantage, but now I see it as a strength—something that makes my art feel more genuine and true to who I am.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I hope one day I will be known for my lyricism and my storytelling. I love to write and tell stories above all! And I hope that is translated! I specialize in capturing moments in my life and writing albums like journal entries. I am the most proud of my newest album that I am working on. There is one song in specific called “The Station” that is my favorite song on the record. I think with pain and sadness and uncomfortable feelings can be turned into something beautiful it is the most meaningful, satisfying thing as a writer. It gives so much purpose to the things I experience and I feel really blessed to be able to capture moments of my life. That song perfectly captured a feeling I didn’t know how to talk about or verbalize and I think that’s why it’s my favorite.

I think what sets me apart from others is my creativity, my work ethic, and my writing. I also love to perform and connect with audiences and I think it’s a strength of mine. I love combining different forms of art and making fans feel like they are immersed in a world so I guess that’s what I hope to do with my music!

We’d love to hear about how you think about risk taking?
I think risk taking is a very important part to any successful business. Making music and putting out for the world to hear is a risk itself. I have always thought taking risks is vital as a musician and an artist! It’s a big part of my story as well. I moved to Nashville right when I turned 18, and had never lived anywhere but my hometown. It was scary and many people were skeptical . It truly was one of the hardest things I have done but it has been by far the most rewarding! A think the magic starts to happen when you are willing to put yourself out there and risk it.
