From and current city St. Louis, MO Tish often sang in church where her father was a preacher. At just 14, Tish found out she was pregnant and prematurely gave birth to her daughter, Ashlynn. Tish's parents were key in helping her raise her daughter while she went to college. Twelve years later, Tish gave birth to her son and faced the tragedy of losing both her parents within 18 months of each other. She found support in her husband, Tobias, and his four children. A night of karaoke led to a regular gig at a local bar. Tish quickly established herself as a soul singer in St. Louis. Tish now has her own soul band, but "The Voice" is her chance to see if she has what it takes to make it outside of St. Louis.
