Amanda Tiffin

Amanda Tiffin (Piano and vocals) belongs to a new crop of jazz artists: musicians who are not only passionate and ambitious about their music, but who go the extra mile to polish their talent through formal training. Amanda graduated from the University of Cape Town in 1999 with a Masters Degree in jazz composition and vocal performance. She has gone on to become one of Cape Town’s best-loved vocalist-pianists, and a respected Musical Director/Arranger, orchestrator and composer.

Amanda has performed extensively in South Africa in numerous Jazz venues, Concert Halls and festivals. She appeared in London, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and tours regularly as a jazz artist in Japan. She has recorded 3 CDs, the most recent with her Asia-based jazz trio
