Ironically, even though it was extremely tough being in foster care and feeling a real sense of being unwanted by her parents, it’s what gave her inspiration, drive, persistence, and determination. Foster care also helped her become a people person and helped her to learn to adapt quickly to new surroundings and new people.
Don’t ever say you can’t do it. Tiffany Cheri Price survived the children foster care system after her parents’ home burned to the ground in Newark, NJ as a child. With her mother a victim of domestic violence and losing her children, Tiffany Cheri Price and her siblings were displaced, taken away and placed in foster care.
With a business dream to always sing and write music, she kept music in her heart despite many obstacles and many challenges to make her music work. In New York, she worked with many big name artists opening up for shows and just trying to get in the game. As an astute black business woman, she opened her own gift shop in East Orange, NJ at East Orange General Hospital. For years, she just wanted to simply break into the urban music industry and get paid for it. Her journey has led her to open for some top named acts in the entertainment field, write for some of the hip hop music industries top artists, and record for top producers in the Atlanta hip hop music scene and New York hip hop music scene.
Never one to quit, she kept pushing music. When others stopped, she kept going. She created mix tapes, wrote an entire album which can be purchased on iTunes, relocated to Atlanta, and is now working with some of the top names in the music industry in Atlanta’s burgeoning music industry. She created her own publishing company and is now hiring writers to work for her as she secures deals with major motion picture companies in Hollywood, California. She is an ASCAP writer and owns all of her own publishing and writes all of her original material.
Ironically, even though it was extremely tough being in foster care and feeling a real sense of being unwanted by her parents, it’s what gave her inspiration, drive, persistence, and determination. Foster care also helped her become a people person and helped her to learn to adapt quickly to new surroundings and new people. Kids in foster care usually have it tough, especially when they are a pre-teen and/or teenager in foster care. These ages are the toughest ages to place kids into foster care because most foster parents want the sought after infant where they can call the baby their own.
Yes, Tiffany Cheri Price and her brothers and sisters are survivors. They were protected by angels and she is now giving her gift back to the world to uplift, inspire, encourage, and help others in this world. Her company, 2209 Publishing, has aggressive yet realistic songwriting goals for 2009 and beyond. Tiffany Cheri Price says
I want to become a leading, respected, sought after song writer in Atlanta. I am now negotiating deals to see this goal become a reality with some top named producers in Atlanta. I love music, have always loved music, and have navigated the urban music landscape without losing my soul and self respect and dignity.

What do you do then if that seemed like the sure fire way to get noticed and the cheap way and every one tells you to utilize social media and facebook to promote yourself?
Believe in Yourself
Compile your best songs and attempt to put together your own album. Try to be different and make unique music. Once this is done, it is critical to move on to the next phase of the DIY Music Guide and that is to build an audience and build a fan base. This is NOT done the way artists thought it to be done on Myspace. Do NOT go putting your music on other people’s myspace as a comment. Do NOT go sending your music to DJ’s on Twitter via zshare links. Do NOT get an email of all the DJ’s that your boy has and send them emails promoting you as the next Drake and new coming of Hip Hop. This does NOT work and only makes everyone pissed off.
What do you do then if that seemed like the sure fire way to get noticed and the cheap way and every one tells you to utilize social media and facebook to promote yourself? You must find someone around you that has some money or work yourself to do this next part. You must find a sponsor who will help you pay for advertisements on Facebook and Myspace. If you’re utilizing Facebook primarily, you can create a Fan Page on there and upload your tracks to Facebook. You can also easily put your music up on iTunes via a digital distributor such as The Orchard.
The Orchard will create an account for you and allow you to upload your tracks. As a distributor, they will then get your tracks on all major online music retailers including iTunes, Walmart, Napster, etc. Your tracks will be in the online retailers. But being in the retailers and being found in iTunes is still like being on an island. No one knows you’re actually stranded on the island. You must promote yourself. Experiencing sell through of your music is the toughest part of the music industry. Having people buy your music is NOT easy even if you’re music is great. In order to get 1,000 people to click on your music you must have at least 1,000,000 people see your advertisement. This is NOT a joke and no exaggeration. The only way to truly move any type of record and get people’s interest is to literally pay in advertising or pay the DJ to spin your record.
