Tiffany Gouché (born September 20, 1988), also known as TGooch, is an American singer, songwriter, and producer from Inglewood, California.[2][3][4]
Early life
[edit]Tiffany Gouché was born on September 20, 1988 in Inglewood, California. Gouché comes from a family she has described as musical and Christian. She is the cousin of both Inglewood musicians SiR, and Netflix's Rhythm + Flow inaugural winner D Smoke. Growing up, the family would often perform together singing Gospel and jazz. In 2007, Gouché with her cousins formed a music collective by the name of Woodworks.
Career
[edit]Gouché garnered attention with her 2015 EP Pillow Talk. She has worked or shared the stage with Masego, Ty Dolla $ign, Solange, Anderson .Paak, Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot, Iggy Azalea, Usher, JMSN, Pussycat Dolls and Terrace Martin.[5][4]
Gouché produced the entirety of Lalah Hathaway's 2017 Honestly.[6][5]
Gouché also collaborated with Terrace Martin on his Grammy-nominated Velvet Portraits.
She is featured on the Little Simz tracks Closer, Just a Dose, and Heart Said.[7][8]
While LionHeart featured songs sung from a heterosexual perspective (possibly because the mixtape was made up of polished demos of songs written for other artists), Gouché's later releases have fully embraced her lesbian identity.
Personal life
[edit]Gouché's mother passed away when she was 14 years old;[3] Gouché identifies as queer.[5]
