Tiffany Lynn Alvord (born December 11, 1992) is an American singer, songwriter and actress. She has been cited as one of YouTube's first "home-grown celebrities". She has a large social presence on YouTube with over 705 million video views and over 3.15 million subscribers. Alvord also has a strong following on social media sites including more than 2.6 million Facebook fans and over 350 thousand Twitter followers. In December 2012, Alvord performed in Times Square on the Nivea stage with Carly Rae Jepsen, Train, PSY and Taylor Swift as part of the 2012 New Year's Eve celebration.

Biography

Alvord was born December 11, 1992, in California, the daughter of Cherie Alvord, who works as her manager. She is the second youngest of seven siblings, having six brothers. When in elementary school, Alvord learned to play the piano and wrote her first songs by age ten. At the age of 14, she taught herself to play the guitar, her second musical instrument. The following year, in April 2008, at 15, she published her first song on YouTube. Alvord was raised Mormon, but now identifies as simply 'Christian.'

Alvord trained as a gymnast for nine years, and spent four years competing until a sport-ending injury during competition. She finished high school in 2010, taking three years. Alvord postponed college to focus on her music.

On August 13, 2013, she released her fifth album, I’ve Got It Covered Vol. 3. The next year Alvord released her Legacy album, on August 12, 2014.
