REVIEWS AND COMMENTS
"“Tiffany Apan has a voice that would make Tori Amos Grin From Below. Dark Slow Melodic Vocals to guide who hear from Ashes to Dust! Haunted you will be no more! So speaks Herlaka!"-Herlaka Rose, Grins From Below Reviewzine/Beyond the Dark Horizon Magazine

"I love Poet!"! -Jeffrey F.M. Smith, Major League Music (worked with Boyz2Men, Harold Lilly Jr, and Mya)

"…Tiffany Apan, who ends up taking you to the worlds of stone castles, chains and darkness, as if a Celtic priestess Prayers were elevated to nature"! -Ciro Velasquez, Eufonia Radio and Reviews

"At her best, Tiffany blows you away with atmospheric rock"! -DJ Grumpy, DJ Grumpy’s Cranky Recommendations Vol 2, Music World Radio

"I love the feel of it and am very intrigued by it. I have to add that feelings like this are why I left commercial radio..." .”-Gene Godferey, Host/Producer of Classic FM Radio (Z889/WBZC) The Album-Friendly Intimacy Of Progressive FM Radio With Exclusive Interviews Since 1979

"(on Poet) Tiffany has crafted a debut album that should make her a presence to be reckoned with...The album's ambitious title is very well founded; Apan's certainly a Poet and a good one at that."-Anna Maria Stjärnell, Luna Kafe

"The spectrum in which Tiffany Apan's music is percieved by the human ear is perhaps on the smoothest and most elegant frequency of metal imaginable."-MaxDoom, Grins From Below ReviewZine

"Poet" and song "Ghost" recommended by VioletMoth on RateYourMusic.com

STYLES/THEMES I'M INTO:
Ethereal Imagery, Fantasy/Mythical, Gothic (eg. Victorian era, ethereal, 'modern'), alternative/80s retro, vintage, classic, commercial.

****I'm NOT interested in any adult/erotica, fetish, or nude work.  I also ALWAYS bring an escort whether it is my boyfriend/business partner, a friend or relative especially if I'm traveling far.  Anyone I bring is very professional and knows not to interfere with any shoot going on.  Sorry, but none of this is negotiable.

I look forward to working with you:)
