Tinashé is a 25 year old singer/songwriter and producer originally from Zimbabwe. Signed to Island Records he's set to be the indie darling for 2010. When the thoughts of growing up and becoming a doctor/lawyer faded away he instead turn to his old six stringed companion and wrote something truly amazing and different.
Staying true to his roots, Tinashé speaks from the heart, successfully blending contemporary pop with invigorating African rhythms and compelling storytelling that is unlike anything else you'd hear in the pop charts. "Zambezi" is a great example of that. The lush, warming undertones of the song create a sharp contrast with its serious lyrics about a doomed relationship using the war for Zimbabwe's liberation from Rhodesia as a backdrop.
