Patricia Tisha Valmyr was born on the 28th of June and was raised in Tampa, Florida to Haitian parents. Since she was a young child, she always dreamed of being a performer whether it was in modeling, acting, or singing. After high school, she attended a semester at University of South Florida in Tampa, then moved to Miami to attend Florida International University where she could get closer to her dream. She studied and earned her Bachelor's degree in Business Administration in the area of Marketing. Towards her last year of college, she became undecided of what she really wanted to do with her life and then later came to a conclusion that she wanted to focus one hundred percent on music, acting, and modeling. During college, she started out doing runway modeling in Miami and in the caribbean. She was signed to a modeling agency that landed her an opportunity to participate in the 2003 Ford Supermodel of Jamaica competition and in a Brazilian Bikinis Miami fashion show. She then later turned to print modeling where she was chosen for the Evonne Hair campaign. She was then featured on their website, calendars, posters, and hair wig tags, which are found in hair beauty supply shops that carry the brand. Moreover, Tisha did a series of photo shoots which included one for Circa 39 Hotel Miami Beach, and EcoAngels in which she was one of the featured models. Recently, Tisha worked on the set of USA's television hit series Burn Notice, Season 3 in which she played as a poolside model in a few episodes, a beach babe, and a funeral mourner. She was also on set of an upcoming television pilot named Fire In The Hole, where she played a beach goer.

I'm inspired by the everyday situations that go on in life. In performance, I use these situations to incorporate into my songwriting, singing, and acting when I'm delivering emotion.
