Born in San Antonio Texas as an identical twin, Tiffani Fest has been acting and performing since she was a child. She told her mother at the age of 8 that when she grew up she was moving to NYC and becoming an actress. She excelled in drama & music, and was invited to audition for the first performing arts high school in her hometown of San Antonio TX, where she graduated 3rd in her class, ranking in the top 1% scholastically. She then moved to New York City with only $500 in her pocket and a dream, and received a scholarship to Fordham University at Lincoln Center, where she graduated with a BFA in performance theatre.

She went on to perform in black box theatre around NYC, including experimental works for the NYC Fringe Festival, even playing Juliet in "Romeo & Juliet" for the prestigious National Arts Club.

She has since relocated to LA and is continuing to pursue her lifelong passion. Her breakout role in the 5 x Best Horror Film Festival Winner CIRCUS OF THE DEAD (2014), where she played opposite horror icon Bill Oberst Jr. (SCREAM QUEENS, CRIMINAL MINDS, & over 100 genre films), garnered her the attention of famed horror publications FANGORIA, THE HORROR SOCIETY, & THE DIGITAL DEAD co-owned by director Eli Roth, naming her a "Rising Scream Queen" in 2015. She has gone on to perform in over 10 genre films, appearing at conventions across the country.

An accomplished singer/songwriter, Tiffani Fest has fronted two rock bands, and written and performed original music for film. Her most notable credits include back up vocals on 2 of Grammy Award winning Beck albums, "The Information", and "Walls." One song, "Timebomb," was featured on a top rated episode of TRUE BLOOD, a favorite show of hers and a credit she takes great joy in.

Coining the term "Global Human Activist", Tiffani Fest has also become known for her humanitarian work in India & Nepal, where she returns bi-annually to support non profits in childhood poverty education, women empowerment, & anti-sex trafficking. She is currently an ambassador for New Light India, the largest non profit operating in the red light districts of Kolkata, whose mission is to educate & empower women and girls there, thus ending the cycle of 2nd generation prostitution.

Marrying her on-stage skills with her global activism work, Tiffani Fest has blossomed into a passionate public speaker, using her own story as a sexual abuse survivor, to advocate on behalf of women survivors everywhere. Named Top 20 Women Making a Global Impact in 2020 and Top 10 Transformational Female Leaders in 2021, her first TEDx talk launched in 2021 and can be viewed on the TED YouTube channel. She can be booked as a speaker via the AAE speakers bureau. Her dream is to continue to use her voice to empower women victims of sexual violence around the world, and to one day become a UN Women global ambassador.
