Tinashe (born February 6, 1993, in Lexington, Kentucky, U.S.A.) is an American actress, singer, and dancer. Born Tinashe Jørgenson Kachingwe, she began her musical career in 2007 as a member of the pop band The Stunners. After the group disbanded in 2011, Tinashe shifted her focus to a solo career. She gained mainstream success with her 2014 debut major-label single, "2 On" (featuring Schoolboy Q), which peaked at number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and served as the lead single for her debut studio album, Aquarius (2014) which received moderate critical and commercial success. In 2015, she collaborated with Chance the Rapper on Snakehips' single "All My Friends," which peaked within the top ten on the music charts in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. She also appeared on Britney Spears' single "Slumber Party," which topped Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart. Tinashe's second and third studio albums, Nightride (2016) and Joyride (2018), both reached the top ten on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. After departing from RCA, she released three independent albums—Songs for You (2019), 333 (2021), and BB/Ang3l (2023)—to continued critical acclaim. Her 2024 single, "Nasty," marked her first Billboard Hot 100 entry as a lead artist in a decade and her first solo song to chart. This single preceded the release of her seventh album, Quantum Baby (2024), which climbed to number 23 on the US Top R&B Albums chart. Tinashe supported the album with the Match My Freak World Tour, which began in 2024 and continued through North America, Australia, Asia, and Europe before concluding in 2025. That year, Disco Lines transformed the Quantum Baby track “No Broke Boys” into a house single that reached number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100, topped the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, and entered the Top 10 in several international markets. Tinashe partnered with Nice Life and Atlantic Records for her eighth studio album, Popstar, introducing the project in 2026 with “Too Easy,” “Crash Out,” and “Melatonin.” The dual single “Pillow Fight” and “I’d Rather Be Alone” followed in September, shortly before Popstar's release on September 25, 2026.
