Tanjareen began taking acting classes in elementary school, which led to her performing in several local stage plays. Lil TanJ continued to do theatre throughout Jr high and high school, but she promised her parents she'd get a college degree before she seriously pursued her dream. After earning her BA in TV/Film, Miss Martin was hired from her internship at Paramount Pictures. Working there behind the scenes created job offers for her in front of the camera, yet it also caused scheduling conflicts. So after a few seasons she resigned from her studio position. Since then, she's been on numerous TV shows, music videos, feature films, & national commercials. Plus she's also a film producer, radio personality, & a boxer!
