That one person that says "I heard your stuff and I really like this." It really touches my heart because it's what I love to do. I'd rather do it for the people than do it for a machine, a company that just wants to make money.
Tiffany VillarrealI don't have to have my tits out to try to sell some kind of record. I can just be me and give songs that I'm into.
Tiffany VillarrealWhen you're young and you don't grow up with a silver spoon in your mouth, what do you do? You do stuff that you're positive about to help you better your family and your life. That's basically where I was. I wanted to sing, that's what I knew I could do. With that, I really didn't know what that meant. Along the journey I realized what that meant and why I wanted to sing.
Tiffany VillarrealFor people to even be interested and to reach out and say "I can't wait for you to come out with something", it's just so inspiring and motivating. It just keeps me going and it reminds me of why I love to make music because there's nothing greater than to use the gifts you have and share it with people who have that same affinity for the art that you give.
Tiffany VillarrealThere's nothing like getting feedback that's positive and supportive. That's what I'm all about. I'm really just genuinely doing good music. I'm not looking to be on the cover of magazines and I'm not in it for the fame. I'm not in it for selling or the biggest Pop song in the world. I have to go for critically acclaimed. I'd rather go for my peers that I look up to say "I listen to her record." I'd rather do a small little touring venue that has two people who support me as opposed to thousands of people. I mean if it happens, it happens but I'm doing it for me.
Tiffany VillarrealI don't think that anyone should ever give up on whatever it is that they dream of. Obstacles will come their way, but everything is a learning experience and it all works out for the good anyway.
Tiffany VillarrealI think just the music industry sometimes is a very tough business. But still, if it's just something you just love dearly, you really can't just put it down.
Tiffany VillarrealIt's a good feeling to be at a place where you know who you are as an artist. I didn't know back then, I just wanted to give my family a better life and myself. I wanted to sing, but I didn't know as an artist who I wanted to be and because of all those experiences, it helped shape me into who I am and what I've now realized and what it is that brings me happiness which is when I pick up the guitar and do records.
