Life and career
1993–2006: Early life
Tinashe Kachingwe was born on February 6, 1993, in Lexington, Kentucky, 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 and a first generation immigrant of the Shona people of Zimbabwe, while her mother, who is of Danish, Italian, Norwegian, Irish, and English 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.[8][9] Tinashe's name means "We are with God" in the Shona language. She has two younger brothers, Thulani and Kudzai.[10] She and her family moved to Los Angeles, California when she was eight years old.[11] She attended Crescenta Valley High School for a year before finishing early to pursue a career in music full-time.[12] 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.[13]
2007–2011: The Stunners and acting roles
Tinashe scored roles in a number of TV shows, movies, and children's videos in the early 2000s, including the movies Cora Unashamed (2000), Call Me Claus (2001), Masked and Anonymous (2003), and two TV series: Rocket Power (2004) and Avatar: The Last Airbender (2007). These led to a regular role in the TV series Out of Jimmy's Head in 2007–2008 and a recurring role on Two and a Half Men in 2008–2009.[citation needed] 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."[14]
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.[15] 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.[16][17] On March 18, 2009, they released a single and video, "Bubblegum." In October, the group released a five-song EP, influenced by artists such as Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and Rihanna.[18] The music video for their promo single, "We Got It", was released on February 22, 2010,[16] and they performed the song on The Today Show[19] and The Wendy Williams Show.[16][20] After signing with Universal Republic Records[16] in 2010 they released a single, "Dancin' Around the Truth."[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][unreliable source?] 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][26] On June 24, 2011, Tinashe released her first solo music video, a cover of Lil Wayne's single "How to Love". The song was later released as a free digital download via Tinashe's official website.[27][28] Following the video's release, Tinashe confirmed she had officially been released from her recording contract with Universal Republic.[29][unreliable source?] Tinashe was featured on the dance single "Artificial People" by OFM, released on September 12, 2011.[30] On November 25, 2011 Tinashe released the music video for "Can't Say No", her first original solo song.[31] The track samples Britney Spears's song "Blur" from her sixth studio album, Circus.[32] The song was released for download on November 28, 2011.[33]
2012–2014: Mixtapes and Aquarius
Tinashe performing "Vulnerable" from her Black Water mixtape
In Case We Die, Tinashe's debut solo mixtape, was released in February 2012, recorded in her home studio.[34] The mixtape spawned four singles, the first being promotional song, "Chainless", released to iTunes on December 19, 2011.[35] "My High" was released for streaming on her official website.[36] The music video for single "This Feeling" directed by Cole Walliser was released on May 1, 2012 to Global Grind.[37][38] The mixtape's final single, Boss, was released August 20, 2012, after the song was featured in an episode of the VH1 series Single Ladies.[39] The music video for the song was self-directed.[39][40][41]
The mixtape was received positively by the blogosphere.[42]
On July 13, 2012, Tinashe announced that she had signed with RCA Records.[39][43] Following the signing, her second mixtape, Reverie, was released on September 6, 2012 through her official website.[44] The mixtape released three singles: the first "Stargazing", released on August 21, 2012; the second, "Ecstasy", released on December 18, 2012; and the final, "Who Am I Working For?", released on March 12, 2013.[45]
Upon its release, reviews for Reverie were generally positive.[46]
From August to November 2012, a series of remixes of songs from Tinashe's two mixtapes leaked online to critical acclaim.[47][48][49][50] On November 26, 2013, Tinashe released her third mixtape, Black Water. The mixtape was composed of thirteen tracks produced by Dev Hynes, Boi-1da, Ryan Hemsworth, and Tinashe herself. The single "Vulnerable", which features rapper Travis Scott, was declared a "Must-Hear Pop Song of the Week" by MTV's Buzzworthy on November 26, 2013.[51]
Tinashe worked on her debut studio album in 2014.[52] Recording took place in Los Angeles, London, Atlanta, New York, and Toronto.[53] Tinashe worked with several producers, including Clams Casino, Ryan Hemsworth,[54]Stuart Matthewman, DJ Mustard, T-Minus, Mike Will Made It, Boi-1da, Fisticuffs, Best Kept Secret, Ritz Reynolds and London on the track.[55] On January 13, 2014, Tinashe released her first single from her debut album, "2 On". The song features American rapper Schoolboy Q, and was produced by DJ Mustard.[56][57] The song entered the US Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 89, and has since peaked at number 24.[58]
On June 29, 2014, Tinashe made her national television debut, performing her single "2 On" at the BET Awards pre-show. That same day, she also announced that her anticipated debut album, Aquarius, would be officially released on October 7, 2014.[59][60] Speaking about the theme of the album, Tinashe said: "It combines the essence of all my previous work. 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".[61]
The second single, "Pretend" featuring ASAP Rocky, was released on August 22, 2014.[62] "Aquarius" debuted at number 17 on Billboard 200 with 18,000 copies sold in its first week.
"All Hands on Deck" became the last single off of Aquarius. Although the single failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100 charts, the music video created much buzz online by peers and fans for its choreography and visuals. Tinashe kicked the year off with a visual bang too, appearing on the cover of the Jan 15 issue of V Magazine.[63]
2015–2017: Joyride and touring
In late January 2015, Tinashe was reported working with writers and producers from Prescription Songs (Cirkut, Ammo, Rock City, Jakob Kasher, Chloe Angelides), Max Martin[64] and Taylor Parks on her second studio album.[65][66] On March 16, 2015, Tinashe released a seven-song mixtape entitled Amethyst for free download. The project was recorded in Tinashe's bedroom during her Christmas vacation, and features production from Ryan Hemsworth, Iamsu!, DJ Dahi, Smash David, Ritz Reynolds, Nez & Rio and Mae N. Maejor.[67] In between time, Tinashe invested in several self-directed music videos from her album Aquarius such as "Aquarius", "Bated Breath", "Cold Sweat", and "Bet/Feels Like Vegas" with no label support.[68]
On September 2, 2015, Tinashe released a teaser for her then second studio album Joyride on YouTube. She explained to Billboard 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."[69]
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. On October 2, 2015, Tinashe released another song "Player", featuring Chris Brown. On October 21, 2015, Tinashe was featured on British electronic duo Snakeships' track All My Friends which also featured Chance the Rapper which reached the top 20 in five countries.

Tinashe announced the Joyride World Tour on January 12, 2016, to support the album Joyride. Beginning in February 2016, it was scheduled through May 2016 including dates in North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.[74] The tour was ultimately canceled as Tinashe wanted to focus on making new songs for the album. Tinashe also revealed another promotional single, "Ride of Your Life", on February 2, 2016.[75]
In February 2016, MAC Cosmetics announced a limited-edition collaboration with Tinashe for its #MACFutureForward campaign, along with Halsey, Lion Babe, and Dej Loaf.[76] In April she was again featured in Vogue[77]
During the summer, Tinashe was set to debut on Hot 97's Summer Jam main stage as the only female artist but the event was canceled due to an extreme weather alert.[78]
On July 15, 2016, Tinashe released a new single "Superlove". The music video directed by Hannah Lux Davis made its debut on August 12, 2016, on MTV's Snapchat and gained rave reviews. The video on YouTube reached one million views in just a day and a half.[79] On September 15, 2016, with a MTV Wonderland performance, Tinashe dropped "Company" as Joyride's second single.[80] Unlike her previous work, "Company" was written by The-Dream without Tinashe as co-writer.[81] On October 25, 2016, Tinashe was confirmed working with American singer Britney Spears for a remix version of Spears' song, "Slumber Party", as Spears posted a photo on social media with the singer. It was compared favourably to Slave 4 U and Boys and that it "Saved 2016" [82][83][84][85] Alexa Camp of Slant Magazine noted that the scene where Spears crawls on a dining room and licks spilled milk reminded her of a scene from Madonna's 1989 video for 'Express Yourself.'"[86] Camp also stated that "the video employs sexuality—and homosexuality—purely for the benefit of the male gaze."[86] While naming it "a fun, outrageous, and expensive-looking clip", Anna Gaca of Spin opined that the video is "miles better than the forced, brand-filled video for 'Make Me,' and the addition of Tinashe's vocals is enough to make you wonder why they ever released the song without her."[87]
Tinashe appeared on the cover of Nylon's October 2016 issue,[88] just as designer brand Alexander Wang was collaborating with her in a video for its Fall 2016 campaign.[89]

— Tinashe, speaking on her writing style.[107]
Tinashe said she writes her songs and is open to writing collaborations with other artists.[107] 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".[108] 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."[108]
Tinashe cites Britney Spears as an inspiration.
Regarding her musical style, she is "really inspired by R&B, hip-hop, and alternative music".[107]

I just find darkness interesting in a way. I just love songs that sound like a little crazy, I think it creates an interesting juxtaposition between my voice because it is so bright, and soft, and like pretty, and sweet that I don't want my music to come across sweet or nice. I do like the opposite, so I think of something that's dark and heavy and then I put like sweet and light on top.[107]
Tinashe feels she does not "fit into any particular genre."[109] Her style has been compared to Janet Jackson, Aaliyah, and James Blake.[108] Tinashe was inspired by the music her parents would play in the house when she was young.[110] She considers Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Sade, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, James Blake, the xx, and SBTRKT as significant influences on her.[108][110][111][112]
I think that [Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Christina Aguilera, and Sade] are all iconic in some type of way. They're all amazing singers, performers and that live aspect is something I admire. I always want to put on a great live show.[112]
Personal life
As a child, Tinashe faced bullying from her peers:
I actually did get bullied a lot in school. I went to public school until 9th grade and had a pretty bad experience. I missed out on prom and graduation and the whole college experience but I don't feel bad about it because everything else I was doing was what I actually wanted.[113]
Tinashe resides in Los Angeles, has a bedroom studio, and has a black belt in Taekwondo.
On February 2, 2016, Tinashe posed for Complex and invited them to her home to do a feature about her family. According to the feature, she still resides at home with her family in a suburb 30 miles north of Los Angeles.[114]
During the beginning of 2018, she moved into her first own house in the Hollywood hills, where she's built a home studio.
