Tinashe Jorgensen Kachingwe ( tee-NAH-shay; 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 projects, the mixtapes In Case We Die (2012), Reverie (2012), and Black Water (2013). Tinashe emerged into mainstream success with her 2014 major label debut single, "2 On" (featuring Schoolboy Q). It peaked at number 24 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and served as the lead single for her debut studio album, Aquarius (2014), which peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard 200. Her second and third studio albums, Nightride (2016) and Joyride (2018), peaked at numbers 89 and 58 on the Billboard 200, respectively. Following her departure from RCA, Tinashe self-released four albums—Songs for You (2019), 333 (2021), BB/Ang3l (2023) and Quantum Baby (2024). Each critically acclaimed, the latter's lead single, "Nasty", became a viral hit and marked her first solo entry on the Hot 100. A remix of the album's single, "No Broke Boys" (with Disco Lines), saw global commercial success and entered the top 10 in numerous countries, as well as peaking at number 36 on the Hot 100. Tinashe will release her eighth studio album, Popstar, in September 2026, which was preceded by four singles: "Too Easy", "Crash Out", "Melatonin", and “Pillow Fight”.
