Tiffany Red (born December 24, 1986) is an American singer-songwriter-activist from Sicklerville, New Jersey.[2] She has written songs for Zendaya, Jason Derulo, Cassie and many other artists. Red garnered her first Grammy Award in 2009 for her contributions to Jennifer Hudson's self-titled album, winning Best R&B Album.[3] Red was again nominated in 2014 for her contributions to Fantasia's album Side Effects of You for Best Urban Contemporary Album.[4][5] She has also independently released seven projects of her own.[6]
In June 2020, Red's social media outcry over the under-compensation for her contribution to the K-pop hit "Boss" by NCT sparked a movement.[7] Her activism led to the establishment of The 100 Percenters,[8] a non-profit organization advocating for music creatives, especially those from BIPOC and marginalized communities. Her vocal advocacy garnered attention from notable media outlets like Billboard,[9] Variety,[10] Forbes,[11] and Rolling Stone.[12] She also received support from entities like Sony Music Publishing[13] and the YouTube Black Voices Fund.[14]
