Tiana Masaniai was born on November 17,1987 in Fountain Valley, California. Tiana spent the first 5 years of her life in American Samoa and then moved to Santa Ana, CA with her mother's family. Tiana has always felt a deep connection and love for her Samoan culture and roots. When Tiana was 18 years old, she was scouted for modeling, which is when her interest in the Entertainment industry began. Tiana graduated from Arizona State University with a bachelor's degree in Public Relations, and an associate degree in Business. It wasn't long after that she had her first theatrical audition, IMperfect (2016), where she booked a lead role and won the award for Best Actress at the Love International Film Festival. From there she realized a deep passion for storytelling, and has been acting in television shows and films ever since. She reminds us of a young Zoe Saldaña meets Abigail Spencer, with a tender heart and a tenacious confidence.
