Introducing Tinashe (Chosen Music Artist)

The song my group and I have chosen to do our music video on is an R&B artist called Tinashe. Below is the song of our choice. 






Here is a basic fact file of the artist Tinashe herself:

 

NAME: Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe

AGE: 22

BACKGROUND INFO: Tinashe Kachingwe was born on February 6, 1993 in Lexington, Kentucky, the eldest child of Michael and Aimie Kachingwe. Her father is from Zimbabwe, while her mother is of Danish, Norwegian, and Irish descent. She and her family moved to Los Angeles, California when she was eight years old. She attended Crescenta Valley High School for a year before finishing early to pursue a career in music full-time.

GENRE: R&B and PBR&B

MUSICAL INFLUENCES: Tinashe was inspired by the music her parents would play in the house when she was young. She cites Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Sade, and Christina Aguilera as her influences.

"I think that they're 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."

Janet Jackson is an influence for her stage presence and dance style.
