Tinashe

Tinashe Jorgensen Kachingwe ( ; born February 6, 1993), known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer, dancer, and actress. Born in Lexington, Kentucky, Tinashe moved to Pasadena, California as a child, where she pursued work in entertainment. Her notable 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 2024 single, "Nasty", became her first ''Billboard'' Hot 100 entry as a lead artist in a decade, as well as her first solo song to enter the chart; it preceded her seventh album, ''Quantum Baby'' (2024).
