HI, I'M TIANA

It all started with my 4th grade teacher,  "Music Fridays" and a flute.

It's amazing when you look back at life you can pinpoint the exact moments that would change your entire life. 
Mine was my 4th grade teacher Ms. Paige-Matsuda. She was beautiful, she was gentle..and she hosted "Music Fridays"...and she played flute. 
And I wanted to be just like her. 

I've played music since I was 11. Flute first. 
Then Guitar, Piano and Vocals at 16. 
Then Songwriting. 

I switched from pursing flute as my primary instrument when a friend asked me to sing at a school event. 
When everyone stopped and was quiet...I saw something I never had the power to do with flute....
Use Words to get people to stop and think. So I became a songwriter.

I took weekly music lessons from 11 years old through graduating from Berklee College of Music early at 21 years of age.
I started teaching music at 19 because $25/hour sounded a lot better than waitressing in Tennessee for $2.50 + tips. 
I'm so grateful for the opportunities I have had in music.
From being on Top 40 Radio at 16.
Touring and getting paid to tour for over a decade.
Hundreds of performances all over the world.
Over 40 of my songs licensed and heard on NBC, Disney, ABC and Sony. 

But that's just the accolades. 
The soul of music and the lives I have gotten to be a part of is far more important to me.
BEHIND THE ACCOUNT

Tiana Smith

I didn’t always have this business: the clients, the sales, the opportunities...and I didn't always believe in myself.

It's kind of a miracle I even was allowed to play music. 
I grew up the daughter of a preacher...
and in an "acapella" only church. 
I wasn't allowed to listen to or sing church music with any kind of instrument- in or outside of church.
However, for some reason...my parents let me take classical flute lessons (as long as I didn't play any religious music, of course)...
and that was fine with me.
From my first flute teacher...
to learning from the top Vocal Coach in Nashville TN...
learning music theory and taking lessons...
getting discovered by a top Radio DJ,
Graduating from Berklee College of Music...
but my favorite...
getting to perform with the most amazing musicians...
writing in the studio with some of the best (and Grammy winners)...
being humbled daily in practice rooms, lessons and studios...
I love to be surrounded by the very best.
It helps me reach for more and I live for it.
I am grateful for you reading this.
#1 I hope one or many of my songs somehow touches your heart. 
#2 I hope you pursue the things in your heart with a fire and a passion because we need you and your creativity! 
#3 YOU MATTER!
