Quick Hit Artist Interview: Tiffany Stringer

Tiffany Stringer at The Hi Hat

Interview with the artist. Enjoy:

How would you describe your sound? The sound of live shows are pretty pop-rock centered. I’ve been referring to my latest recordings as alternative-pop because I’ve been experimenting with the classic pop elements as well as anything I come across that inspires me/ makes me feel carbonated inside.

Where is your favorite spot to write music? And why the spot? My favorite place to write music is in a special moment as it is happening. It feels like I’m a researcher, trying to capture as much of the moment as possible.

Own final thoughts: Life imitates art! I’ve started being quite intentional about the art I create because I’ve seen first hand how it changes one’s reality.

The Hi Hat: Champs, Kid Eyes, Tiffany Stringer

Sometimes, you never know who you'll catch on a night out. I felt like heading out on a recent Wednesday night and so headed off to WFNM's night at The Hi Hat. Champs was the first band that I caught. They were doing their first official show in Los Angeles. I kind of felt like based on that statement that they'd played in Los Angeles before, but perhaps in an informal type of way. This band features two brothers. I was very impressed with their 80s inspired tunes. I could have listened to them all night though the sound guy needed to cut them off before they were able to get to their last song.

Kid Eyes has a lead singer that can twist his body in any way he wishes. At times, one could imagine him in a straight jacket, attempting to release himself from the constraints during the set. I just got caught up trying to capture all those moments.

Kid Eyes

When I walked into the venue, one had to immediately notice Tiffany Stringer. During the music for the other acts, she was up front, dancing away. Talk about a person filled with energy. Her set was the same way. Her pop sounds were aligned with her bouncing stage show. It was a nice way to end the night. Doing a little Google research, I found out that she was a contender on American Idol a few years back.
