Q&A For Mother’s Day! Tiffany was inspired to create a foundation and web site devoted to both mothers and musicians when confronted with the question, “Why can’t rock stars have kids?” Given the recent popularity of such reality shows as The Osbournes, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, and Breaking Bonaduce – it is apparent that parents can balance the music business with the family life. But it has been an uphill battle to subvert the stereotypes of celebrity and Tiffany has been on the cutting edge of this movement. Rockin’Moms is a secure web site. The group is similar to online singer/songwriter promotion sites like Songsalive.Org where you can get an online profile constructed for you to promote your music. Rockin’ Moms offers the choice of a Paypal buy-in so you can sell your merch online without having to pay the full price of registering as your own business. There is also potential to appear on the Rockin Mom’s monthly podcast and biannual CD compilation. Registered Rockin’ Mom’s can submit their MP3s for review and if approved for inclusion on the compilation their works will be professionally mastered, duplicated and then promoted at Rockin’ Mom events like the recent South by Southwest.
Tiffany was inspired to create Rockin’ Moms after an awkward reception when she brought her children with her to an open mic. She realized there were a lot of preconceived restrictions regarding the musician’s life; that being young and single are requisites. Despite this Tiffany realized that her children were a large inspiration for her music as well as a source of courage to not only pursue her passion as a career but also to perform live: “It's like the pressure of performing is no longer there. If someone doesn’t like my music I still have my family to cheer me on. When you have a band you have to get out their and promote and I was getting really frustrated because it’s hard to balance the family life and the music. I felt like I couldn’t afford to pay baby sitters and promote shows too. So if I were to create events where I could bring my kids it would be the best way to balance the two.” Q.) When is the deadline for your upcoming songwriting contest and is there a theme? Q.) Tell me more about your night at The Talking Stick in Santa Monica? Q.) When is your next major showcase event? Q.) What has been one of your most rewarding experiences as a result of founding Rockin’ Moms? Q.) What is one of your favorite success stories of a Rockin Mom? Q.) Where would you like to see Rockin Mom’s in the future? If you’re a mom-on-the-go you don’t necessarily have the time to take a class on web design, or even have the resources to fund a full web site which can be nearly twice the cost of an annual membership to Rockin’ Moms. Tiffany is offering a invaluable value to her members. There are several levels of membership on Rockin’ Moms, including a standard free registration.
