Kidsday interviews Tiffany Giardina

We met singer and actress Tiffany Giardina when she was in Manhattan recently. After interviewing her, we watched her perform at the Hard Rock Cafe.

I definitely was a Barbie fan growing up. So it's been pretty cool working for the company. And my voice in a Barbie doll is pretty awesome -- when you press play and you hear it all and you sing some of those songs. It's pretty cool.

I guess something that's kind of challenging would be like getting to the studio, working long hours. I love that so I don't know; it really wasn't challenging.

Oh, that was very cool. I loved performing with them and they're both really sweet and down-to-earth and super-talented.

Very cool. I mean, Barbie is known all around the world. So it's a big deal and it's just amazing to be associated with Barbie in the first place. She's amazing.

I write about a lot of things. I write about my life, real experiences that actually happen to me, but I also like to draw from films and things like that. They just come to me. Like, I don't sit down, like, OK, I'm writing a song -- it just happens really organically, like, it comes to me. I write it down, I go on my iPhone, type it into my phone and then, once I'm in the studio, I got back and look at what I've already done.

I've never had stage fright, ever.

Yeah, I started out doing a lot of theater and that really got me into the business in the first place. . . . One day it will be cool to be on Broadway.

Definitely with people.

I don't have inspirations -- oh, here's a perfect one: Barbie is definitely a good inspiration for me. Just everything she's done inspired me -- be true to who you are, and the fact that you could do anything. Because Barbie is, pretty much, she's been [in] every occupation, she's been [a] princess, pop star, astronaut, there's nothing she hasn't done. Just powerful -- girls, do whatever you want. And also, her sense of style is top-notch. I'm definitely inspired by her fashion choices.

Really cool. Because I got to see them from when there's just five people in the room, to when they are in a huge arena.

I was about 5.

Definitely been different. I was doing plays, and in the studio and everything. So after school, that's where I'd go instead of doing sports or anything like that. It's like coming together for me now.

Definitely one of my newer songs I'm working on right now. My favorite song is always the last song I just wrote. It's not released yet.

Nov. 4, I'm a Scorpio.
