For more than 25 years, Debbie Gibson has proven she’s an entertainer of
immeasurable talent. From singer, songwriter and musician to actress and dancer, she
embodies what it truly means to be an entertainer. A music prodigy, Gibson exploded on
the Billboard Pop Charts at the tender age of 16 with the self-penned “Only In My
Dreams.” The “Original Pop Princess” quickly became the youngest artist ever to write,
produce and perform a No. 1 hit song, “Foolish Beat,” and entered the Guinness Book
of World Records. To date, she is still the youngest female to hold that record. Gibson
has sold more than 16 million albums worldwide, performed for British Royalty and
hosted “The American Music Awards,” produced by friend and legend Dick Clark.
Debbie has sold over 16 million records worldwide and has hosted the American Music
Awards and starred in 17 musicals on Broadway, from “Les Miserables” to “Grease.”
Just this year (2015) she received the Lifetime Achievement Award, Rockers on
Broadway.
Multi-Platinum recording artist Tiffany (Darwish) has enjoyed two international #1 hit
singles, “I Think We’re Alone Now” and “Could’ve Been,” selling more than 15 million
albums. She has released three Top 20 US Billboard dance singles, which she helped
co-write in 2007. Tiffany is very involved in the local community. She mentors young
singer/songwriters, produces charity concerts for the Humane Society, and is also the
Official Spokesperson for American Heart. ” Charities and local community needs are
something I love helping with, it’s very fulfilling” says Tiffany.
