  ## Biography
  
  Tying Tiffany was born in Padua in 1978. She attended the Art Institute and began experimenting with different artistic paths, from design, photography to music. In the early years of her career, she travelled Europe as a bass player and singer in various indie rock bands. She has also acted in some independent movies, artistic films and theatrical performances.
  
  In 2005, she decided to share an electronic music project including her song "You Know Me" in the Full Body Workout Vol. 2 compilation for the Berlin-based label Get Physical.
  
  Her debut album Undercover, released in 2005 on Jato Music label, moved from her passion for industrial, dark wave and punk music and her DJ experience. Undercover was acclaimed by the international press, the media and the public, and became one of the Italian music successes of 2006.
  
  Tiffany then performed many concerts, playing in Italy and Europe and sharing the stage with artists like Iggy Pop, Buzzcocks, Stereo Total, The Rapture, Eels, dEUS, Tiga, and Alec Empire with whom she toured in 2008.
  
  After a show on the NME stage at Groningen's Festival, the label I Scream Records took a deal with Tying Tiffany to release her second album, Brain for Breakfast, in 2007. This album featured collaborations with Wolfgang Schrödl (Liquido), Pete Namlook and Nic Endo (Atari Teenage Riot and Alec Empire). Soon after this second album, a European tour followed, with over 80 dates. The other music video "Slow Motion" (with Nic Endo's remix) was aired in Europe and Asia.
  
  In 2010, Tying Tiffany signed a deal with the German label Trisol for her third album Peoples Temple. The album takes inspiration from the homonymous San Francisco's cult led by Jim Jones, guilty of the 1978 mass suicide. Peoples Temple features a much darker and heavier sound than the previous two albums. Tiffany issued the singles "Miracle", "Lost Way" and "3 Circle". In 2011, the album was followed by the remix EP, Peoples Temple Remix Edition.

  In 2011, Tying Tiffany and Italian electronic producer and composer Lorenzo Montanà started a new project, T.T.L. (meaning "Through the Lens"). T.T.L. create instrumental music for soundtracks and trailers. Their song "Deep Shadow" was featured in The Hunger Games movie trailer.
