Blu Cantrell - Early Life

Early Life

Tiffany Cobb was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1976. Her father was of Narragansett and Cape Verdean ancestry, and played in the National Basketball Association. Susi Franco, her mother, was a former Miss Rhode Island, actress, and jazz vocalist. She also has Italian and German ancestry. Cantrell's parents split when she was a child, and she and her five siblings—Adam, Tino, Nick, Kelli, and Summer—were raised by her mother. At the age of 19 she posed as a nude model for Black Tail. She has defended this by saying: "I have posed nude in the past and I will in the future, I'm not making porn, porn is when you do a video of sex. Posing nude is not making porn."

Her mother used to call her Blu; Cantrell is her grandmother's surname.

    If you’re lucky, you have money. That’s why it’s better to be born lucky than rich. If you’re rich, you can always lose your money, but if you’re lucky, you’ll always get more money.
    —Anthony Pélissier. Explaining her philosophy of life to her son (1949)
