Tiffany Day Ruan (born January 30, 2000), known professionally as Tiffany Day, is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer. Raised in Wichita, Kansas, she began independently releasing music after a 2017 video of her singing into a well in Italy went viral on Twitter. She released her debut studio album, Lover Tofu Fruit, in 2024. She signed to Broke Records the following year, through which she released her second studio album, Halo, in 2026.
Early life
Tiffany Day Ruan was born on January 30, 2000 in Toronto, Canada to Chinese parents and raised in Wichita, Kansas. The majority of Day’s extended family still lives in China, who Day frequently visited during her childhood. As a child, her parents enrolled her in classical training for piano and violin and she also learned how to play the guitar. She created her first song in GarageBand at age 10 and, inspired by the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana, she wrote her first song in middle school.
Day attended Wichita Collegiate School, where she was a member of the school choir, the Madrigals. She has stated that she felt "small and quiet" and "constantly ... judged" in high school, partly due to being one of the few Asian students at the predominantly white school. Day said that comparing herself to white students affected her body image and made her ashamed of her monolid eyes and Asian American features.
