Coming out of Los Angeles, California, USA and born on the sixth of February 1993, Tinashe Jørgensen Kachingwe is a singer/songwriter, dancer and actress. Her music career began in 2007 with the formation of a girl group called The Stunners.
There are musicians and artists who can claim some experience in the world of show business, some from a relatively early age. Tinashe arguably trumps all of them, having been consistently modelling, acting and studying ballet, tap and jazz dance forms since the age of three.
She cut short her time at the Crescenta Valley High School in Los Angeles to focus on music full time. Vitamin C, the “Graduation (Friends Forever)” singer formed The Stunners when Tinashe was 14 and they were signed to Columbia six months later. The group released one E.P, toured with Justin Bieber and were going to record an album when they split in 2011.
The same year, Tinashe gave her first ever televised singing performance, in front of a live crowd of 57,000 at a baseball game and soon after that she signed with Universal records. If all this is sounding a little too Disney Princess for you, her first solo E.P, entitled “In Case We Die” cryptically enough, was recorded entirely herself in her home studio and saw comparisons to the likes of Frank Ocean and The Weeknd.
Since then her march to take over the world has taken her to the upper reaches of the Billboard charts, her single “2 On” peaked at number 24 on the Hot 100 and her debut album “Aquarius” went straight in at number 17 on the album charts.
The second single from that album, “Pretend” saw her working with A$AP Rocky and with that, it became clear that it’s only a matter of time before she becomes something of a legend. She is the perfect link between pop accessibility and the artist's touch of a true auteur. Join her for the ride and you will never forget it.
