TILA TEQUILA

Born in Singapore, Tila's family moved to the suburbs of Houston, Texas, when she was only a year old. While visiting a Houston mall one day when she was eighteen, Tila was discovered by a Playboy scout who offered her a chance to model for the magazine. She then relocated to southern California and in 2002 she was featured as a Playboy Cyber Girl of the week and eventually the first Asian Cyber Girl of the month.

Over the next few years Tila became a MySpace sensation, acquiring more than one million MySpace friends! Her popularity, beauty, musical talent, and wild ways caught the attention of MTV which created a bisexual reality dating show around her entitled "A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila." Although she's filmed two successful seasons, Tila is interested in focusing her attention on her musical career. So far she's released three singles and is working on her debut album.
