Tiffin University’s “TiffinKidz” to Release Second Album

Tiffin University's community youth music program TiffinKidz will release its second album entitled "TiffinKidz, Vol. 2" on Friday, November 15. The album features ten songs, performed by local children and teens and produced in TU's record label Tiffin Music Studios, housed within the School of Creative and Media Arts. The album will be available to stream on all major music sharing platforms.

An album release party will be held Thursday, November 14 at 5 p.m. in the Performing Arts Lab. The free public event will also feature two additional original singles released on the same day by two of the youth who appear on the album.

Carter Bennett ('23) has spearheaded the project since 2021. Bennett is the album's producer and sound engineer, while TU grad, Jessica Briney, is the participants' primary vocal coach. The pair works under the guidance of Aly Horn, Assistant Dean for Program Development in the School of Creative and Media Arts.

"TiffinKidz, Vol. 2 has been a great honor to produce," said Bennett. "The kids have improved so much this year and it was my goal to highlight that. They are really a joy to work with and it's been amazing to watch them develop into incredible young pros."

TiffinKidz was founded 15 years ago as the TU Kids Choir and allows area youth to perform popular music and work in TU's professional recording studio. The program has hosted hundreds of kids from more than 10 schools since its founding and is made possible by the generosity of Diana Kirk.
