Tiger Gilliam (NEW songs posted!)

About Me

To let you in on a little known industry secret: Tiger is not a professional musician. She's just a girl who one day, for reasons unknown, became bored with B-school, studying, and basically her life. So she did what any girl would do; She started writing and recording songs out of her bedroom. Armed with not much more than a fancy computer, a spiffy program, a sweet keyboard/synth, a plethora of experiences to draw from, and a crappy mic, she has taken the music world by storm with her raw, natural talent.
"I think she's the best artist I've ever heard!" - Tiger's Mom, 2007
"Don't quit your day job." - My Boss, 2009
"We love you Tiger!" - Random drunk dudes in Vegas, 2000
"One would think that a Tiger would really just claw at the keyboard and have unintelligible lyrics, but this Tiger is surprisingly more talented than that. " - Jeremy Byington

insomniac gilliam has a new song

How To Pick A Winning Baseball Team

When I first moved to the east coast, I decided I should pick a sports team to love, stalk, fantasize about, and support. So I did what any smart girl would do - I went to ESPN.com and started looking...
