Tinashe Jorgensen Kachingwe (/tiːˈnɑːʃeɪ/ ⓘ tee-NAH-shay;[1] born February 6, 1993) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress. Born in Lexington, Kentucky, Tinashe moved to Pasadena, California, as a child, where she pursued work in entertainment. Her roles include a motion-capture performance in the animated film The Polar Express (2004), Robin Wheeler in the Cartoon Network television series Out of Jimmy's Head (2007–2008), and a recurring role in the CBS series Two and a Half Men (2008–2009). From 2007 to 2011, she was a member of the girl group the Stunners. After they disbanded, Tinashe released her first musical project, the alternative R&B-styled mixtape In Case We Die (2012) to positive critical reception, and signed with RCA Records shortly after. Her second and third mixtapes, Reverie (2012) and Black Water (2013), received further praise.

Tinashe emerged into mainstream success with her 2014 major label debut single, "2 On" (featuring Schoolboy Q). The song peaked at number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and served as lead single for her debut studio album Aquarius (2014), which was met with moderate critical and commercial reception. In 2015, she guest appeared alongside Chance the Rapper on Snakehips' single "All My Friends"—which peaked within the top ten of Australian, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom music charts—and appeared on Britney Spears' single "Slumber Party"—which topped Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart. Her second and third studio albums, Nightride (2016) and Joyride (2018), both peaked within the top ten of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

Following her departure from RCA, Tinashe independently released three albums—Songs for You (2019), 333 (2021) and BB/Ang3l (2023)—to continued praise. Her seventh album, Quantum Baby (2024), was preceded by the viral lead single "Nasty", which became her first solo entry on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 61. A remix of the album's single "No Broke Boys" with Disco Lines also became a commercial success and entered the top ten of charts in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

Early life

[edit]

Tinashe Jorgensen Kachingwe was born on February 6, 1993, in Lexington, Kentucky,[2] and is the eldest child of college professors Michael and Aimie Kachingwe. Her father is a professor who teaches acting at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona and a first-generation Zimbabwean immigrant of Shona descent, while her mother, who is of Danish, Norwegian, and Irish descent, teaches physical therapy at California State University, Northridge. Her parents met each other on a blind date during their time as undergrads at the University of Iowa.[3][4] Tinashe's name means "We have God (or God is with us)" in the Shona language. She has two younger brothers, Thulani and Kudzai.[5] As a child, Tinashe lived in DeKalb, Illinois. She and her family moved to Los Angeles, California when she was eight years old.[6] She attended Crescenta Valley High School for a year before finishing early to pursue a career in music full-time.[7] During high school, she faced bullying from her peers.[8][9] She began studying ballet, tap, and jazz dancing at the age of 4, and continued to compete in various styles as a part of a dance company until she was 18.[10]

Tinashe scored roles in a number of TV shows, movies, and children's videos in the 2000s, including the movies Cora Unashamed (2000),[11] Call Me Claus (2001),[12] Masked and Anonymous (2003),[11] and two TV series: Rocket Power (2004)[13] and Avatar: The Last Airbender (2007).[13] She also made a regular role in the Cartoon Network TV series Out of Jimmy's Head in 2007–2008 and a recurring role on Two and a Half Men in 2008–2009.[14] Although she was uncredited in the poorly received Masked and Anonymous, Roger Ebert observed at the film's 2003 Sundance Film Festival premiere "the one performer in the movie whose performance actually was applauded; that was a young black girl named Tinashe Kachingwe, who sings 'The Times They Are A-Changin'' with such sweetness and conviction that she is like a master class." He concluded his review of the movie: "If I had been asked to serve as consultant on this picture, my advice would have amounted to three words: more Tinashe Kachingwe."[15]

In 2007, Tinashe joined girl group the Stunners, founded by Vitamin C. Her bandmates were friends Marisol Esparza, Allie Gonino, Hayley Kiyoko, and Kelsey Sanders.[16] Six months after their formation, the group signed with Columbia Records, and later signed a production deal with Lionsgate Entertainment for scripted television show for MTV.[17][18] In October, the group released a five-song EP, influenced by artists such as Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and Rihanna.[19] The music video for their promo single, "We Got It", was released on February 22, 2010,[17] and they performed the song on The Today Show and The Wendy Williams Show.[17][20] After signing with Universal Republic Records,[17] they released a single, "Dancin' Around the Truth" in 2010.[21] The music video premiered on June 2, 2010, just before the group was announced as an opening act on Justin Bieber's My World Tour.[22]

After the Bieber tour the Stunners returned to the recording studio, but disbanded in 2011, and Tinashe began pursuing a solo career.[23] After the Stunners disbanded, Tinashe "bought a bunch of equipment, a camera, and microphones", and began to teach herself how to record and mix music. She wrote and recorded songs in her room studio. She produced beats with Logic Pro, and also filmed and edited her own music videos with Pro Tools and Final Cut Pro. Tinashe cites YouTube as her "teacher".[24]

On May 3, 2011, Tinashe gave her first televised solo performance during a Dodgers–Cubs game, singing "God Bless America".[25] On June 24, 2011, Tinashe released her first solo music video, a cover of Lil Wayne's single "How to Love".[26] The song was later released as a free digital download via Tinashe's official website.[27] Tinashe was featured on the dance single "Artificial People" by OFM, released on September 12, 2011.[28] On November 25, 2011, Tinashe released the music video for "Can't Say No", her first original solo song.[29] Tinashe stated that the song samples an instrumental of Britney Spears's song "Blur".[30] "Can't Say No" was released for download on November 28, 2011.[31]

I've stayed true to who I am. Obviously, there's some progression as I've grown as an artist, and I'm influenced by new things and what not. I think my fans will be really happy with it. I think it really embodies who I am and where I am creatively right now".[64] The second single, "Pretend" featuring ASAP Rocky, was released on August 22, 2014.[65] Aquarius debuted at number 17 on Billboard 200 with 18,800 copies sold in its first week.[66] "All Hands on Deck" became the last single off of the album.[67] Tinashe kicked the year off with a visual bang, appearing on the cover of the Jan 15 issue of V Magazine.[68]

On September 2, 2015, Tinashe released a teaser for her then second studio album Joyride on YouTube.[74] She explained to Billboard about the meaning behind the title: "I always had it in the back of my head, but it started to become more and more relevant to my current state of my career. With all this traveling I've done this past year and everything I've gone through, it just really feels like an adventure, a journey, a ride", and when asked why she feels she isn't being heard she stated, "I feel like I've been working really hard this year at developing a fan base, a touring base. I'm continuing to grow, but you always feel like you're a little bit under appreciated, undervalued. Especially for me, it's exciting to have new music and to give people a chance to rediscover me again."[75] On September 9, Tinashe leaked the buzz single called "Party Favors" featuring rapper Young Thug as a way to get the ball rolling from her label.[74] On October 2, 2015, Tinashe released another song "Player", featuring Chris Brown.[76] On October 21, 2015, Tinashe was featured on British electronic duo Snakeships' track "All My Friends", which also featured Chance the Rapper.[77]

Artistry

[edit]

Musical style and influences

[edit]

I write a lot of it in my car, that's just a very inspiring place to listen to music. I think it puts me in the zone. I just think of melodies usually and then lyrics come after. Sometimes really easily, and then sometimes I'll have a melody for a week before I come up with any lyrics so it just kind of depends.

— Tinashe, speaking on her writing style.[178]

Tinashe's musical style has been described as R&B, pop, and alternative R&B.[note 1] She said that she writes her songs and is open to writing collaborations with other artists.[178] Her writing consists of "things that are relative to me and my life; whether that's relationships I've had or relationships that people I know are in, because I can put myself into other people's mindstates and write from that point of view too".[187] She also likes to write about society; "different things that affect me day to day from more of a philosophical standpoint rather than just the obvious stuff."[187] Her mixtapes have been more experimental, incorporating elements of traditional R&B, electro-hop[188] and dark pop.[189]

Tinashe has stated musicians such as Britney Spears (left) and Christina Aguilera (right) as her influences.

Regarding her musical style, she is "really inspired by R&B, hip-hop, and alternative music".[178] In 2016, Tinashe said she feels she does not "fit into any particular genre."[190] She later said she considers herself "a pop artist who makes R&B-tinged pop music".[191] In the early stages of her career, she was often compared to and considered the successor to Ciara, whom she cites as an inspiration.[192][193] Her style has also been compared to Janet Jackson, Aaliyah, James Blake and Mya.[187][194] Tinashe was inspired by the music her parents would play in the house when she was young.[195] She considers Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Sade, Christina Aguilera, James Blake, the xx, and SBTRKT as significant influences on her.[187][195][196][197]

Personal life

[edit]

Tinashe lives in a house in the Hollywood Hills, where she has a home studio.[198] Until 2016, Tinashe resided with her family in La Crescenta, a suburb 20 miles north of Los Angeles.[199] She was in a relationship with Australian basketball player Ben Simmons from November 2017 to May 2018.[200] In 2020, she said that she is bisexual.[201]
