Professional Trumpetiste & Flugelhorn Player | Composer | Bandleader | Touring Musician
Tiffany Goode is a trumpetiste and flugelhorn player born in Richmond, Virginia and now based in Atlanta, Georgia. Her love affair with the horn began at age 10, and she has spent every year since chasing the sound in her head — a sound she's since built into her own signature style she likes to refer to as trip hop jazz. It's a genre-bending blend of straight-ahead jazz, reggae, hip-hop, house, GoGo, R&B, layered and atmospheric , built to take the listener on a musical journey rather than through a single song. She earned her degree in Music (Audio Engineering) from Hampton University, holds a professional certification in Producing Music for Film and TV from Berklee College of Music, An MBA from Clark Atlanta University in Marketing & Decision Sciences and is pursuing a Master's in Ethnomusicology from Liberty University.

Tiffany's reverence for the women who came before her on the horn runs deep. Trumpeters like Clora Bryant, Valaida Snow, Ernestine "Tiny" Davis, and Cynthia Robinson blazed a trail through a genre and an instrument that rarely made room for women — and their legacy lives in every note Tiffany plays. That reverence became full circle when she was given the honor of depicting Cynthia Robinson, co-founder and composer of Sly and the Family Stone, in Season 2 of BET's American Soul. It's a lineage Tiffany carries with intention: she plays not just to perform, but to extend the legacy those women left behind — and to leave one of her own for the trumpetistes who come after her.“Trumpetiste” which was a term first coined by Trumpetiste Clora Bryant.

As a bandleader, Tiffany fronts Tiffany Goode & The GoodeStuff Experience under her own label and business, Goode Stuff Entertainment. She is also a member of Orchestra Noir and has performed with Westside Winds Jazz Orchestra and Peachtree Symphonic Winds, and previously served as lead trumpet and co-founder of Sol Rizing Band, Atlanta's only all-female reggae band. Under her independent label, Tiffany has released several projects, including Today Was A Goode Day, EnterGoodeLactic, 1217, and GoodGoode. As a touring musician, her original music has scored independent films including Joy Road, Every Scar and Dimple, and Break/Fast. Tiffany is sponsored by Phaeton Trumpets and is hailed as the First Lady of Phaeton.

Beyond the bandstand, Tiffany hosts Musical Mosaics: Global DrumBeat on WRFG 89.3 FM, and her work has been featured in Rolling Out Magazine, Voyage ATL, and on the cover of Wherdzmyth Magazine. In 2024, she was named to "The Top 40 Culture Creators to Watch" list by the Candy Culture Organization in New York. Whether in the studio, on tour, or on the air, Tiffany Goode plays with one foot in the tradition and one foot pushing it forward — carrying the legacy of the women who made room for her, and building one of her own.
