Upon releasing Aquarius after a slew of buzzed-about, self-made mixtapes, Tinashe quickly became one of the most talked-about and exciting emerging artists. In the wake of Aquarius, Tinashe found herself on many “best of 2014” year-end lists, saw her unstoppable debut single “2 On” go Platinum, covered magazines such as V Magazine and ACCLAIM, was honored as one of 2015’s ELLE Women in Music, performed for Karl Lagerfeld and Alexander Wang, was hand- picked by Janet Jackson to perform a tribute to her at the 2015 BET Awards and became the face of Ralph Lauren’s Denim & Supply Fall/Winter 2015-2016 campaign. Tinashe toured relentlessly behind Aquarius, taking her live show around the world several times over, including sold-out shows across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East. Tinashe spent the summer of 2015 touring arenas and amphitheaters on Nicki Minaj’s The Pinkprint Tour and is currently touring stadiums in South America with Katy Perry. With a headlining US tour soon to be announced, Tinashe’s intense, energetic show has become one not to miss. Joyride is a direct result of over a year on the road, with the energy and thrill of Tinashe's show weaved directly into the album’s robust, kinetic, in-your-face DNA. “[Aquarius is] one of the most idiosyncratic major label female R&B albums in years…a gesturally significant album.” - The New York Times “Built around flickering synths and future-R&B production, Aquarius was one of the more inventive R&B debuts in years. “ – Los Angeles Times Follow Tinashe: www.tinashenow.com www.facebook.com/officialtinashe www.twitter.com/tinashe www.instagram.com/tinashenow www.svusvu.com ! ### For Press Inquiries, Please Contact: The Chamber Group Derek Sherron – 212.366.5801 Savoy Jefferson – 212.833.5291 [email protected] [email protected] For Regional Media: Connor Hunt – 212.366.5801 [email protected] RCA Records Theola Borden – 212.833.5592 [email protected] .
