Tila Tequila

Though she was created to some Vietnamese family in Singapore, Tila Nguyen spent a lot of her life in Houston, TX, the area to which her parents had immigrated when she was just one single year old. Having a childhood filled with battles and rebellion (it had been in senior high school that she allegedly got her nickname, Tila Tequila, after a detrimental a reaction to the alcoholic beverages) Tila ultimately relocated to Hollywood when she was 18 to be able to pursue a profession there. Quickly she was modeling for Playboy along with other publications, in addition to appearing like a contestant within the 2003 VH1 system Surviving Nugent. Desperate to diversify her profile, Tila joined several bands within the L.A. region, and even experienced a music, “DIRECTLY,” included on the 2005 MySpace Information debut compilation. Tila’s actual fame, however, arrived by means of her MySpace character. Selling her combination of sex, candor, and seeming convenience, Tila quickly became typically the most popular number on MySpace, with, by early 2007, over 1.7 million friends. Her commitment to self-promotion, alongside her visual appearance, paid. In 2006 she was presented with a record offer on Will.we.am GROUP (run with the Dark Eyed Peas frontman), an A&M imprint. Although she originally accepted the give, she released her initial one, the Lil Jon-produced “I REALLY LIKE U,” in past due February 2007, declaring she had made a decision to reject the major-label route to be able to stay accurate to herself and her music also to continue her D.We.Y. method of popularity. Her debut EP, Sex, after that came out the next month over the D.C.-structured indie label The Saturday Team.
