Tiffany Page

23-year old Londoner Tiffany Page has been honing her musical craft ever since receiving her first guitar aged fourteen. More recently she began to attract attention by playing various open-mic nights, though it was a video of her playing her song ‘Old Friend’ on MySpace that lead to a management deal and her eventual signing to Mercury Records. Her first single ‘Walk Away Slow’ perfectly shows off her striking voice, which has been compared to the likes of Chrissie Hynde, Shirley Manson and Courtney Love. Set to support The Noisettes on tour starting in February, we caught up with Tiffany to ask the Same Six.

Q1 How did you start out making music?
I’ve been into music ever since I can remember and from the first time I held a guitar in my hands I’ve experimented with songwriting.

Q2 What inspired your latest album?
Um… to be honest, years of being unlucky in love. I’m an old hand at the whole unrequited love thing. Either I love them and they don’t love me or they love me and I don’t love them. Can’t win!

Q3 What process do you go through in creating a track?
Well there’s loads of ways of writing really. Mostly I’ll experience or observe something or someone and words or a melody will crop up in my head. I’ll then work and rework it until I’m happy with a song.

Q4 Which artists influence your work?
Many. From Carole King and Neil Young to The Buzzcocks and Lou Reed. From The Pretenders and Blondie to Hole and L7…

Q5 What would you say to someone experiencing your music for the first time?

I hope that there’s something for everyone on the album.

Q6 What are your ambitions for your latest album, and for the future?

I can’t wait to start touring and showing off this album. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved so far and want to carry on getting better and better at what I love doing most.
