About Tini

There are at least two artists with the name Tini. 1. A Norwegian female pop artist by name 'TINI' 2. A German female techno artist 'tINI' 1. TINI chose music over the family business - a decision she has not regretted making. In 2012 TINI was invited to participate on the music-talent show The Voice, and grabbed the opportunity with both hands. She had just finished her studies, but the ambition of making a life through music rather than taking over the family business became increasingly pressing. The Voice would at least give her some connections in the music-industry, she figured. As it turned out, she got more than she had hoped for. TINI left the competition before the finals, but the collaboration with her mentor Magne Furuholmen (of iconic Norwegian band A-ha) was destined to last much longer. He was not willing to let TINI go, and signed her to Voxwatch - a UK-based development-company which he owns together with Grammy-winning producer and songwriter Martin Terefe. Since summer 2012, TINI and the Voxwatch team have worked on her debut album at Kensaltown Studios in London, where a string of big artists have recorded their albums, Lana Del Ray, James Blunt, A-ha and Adele among them. In February 2014 TINI released her first single 'Undo My Heart' which was listed on the biggest Norwegian radio NRK P1. Then in June 2014 TINI released her second single 'Send My Star' which was also listed on the radio, NRK P1 October 3rd TINI is out with her debut album 'Undo My Heart' and there are big things planned for the release this fall. 2. It took tINI only a few years of playing in clubs to become one of Germany's most highly acclaimed female artists in techno and house music. Her involvement with rhythms and beats started at the age of 7, when tINI, who is originally from Munich, began playing drums, while the curiosity and passion for sounds finally led her to first production attempts on her brother's Atari. While her general interest in music has been aroused by new romantics, wave and grunge, her first dj adventures started with underground hip hop to rap. As her interest, knowledge and skills developed, her DJ style became more electronic when she stumbled upon Moodymann's "Amerika". It was in summer 2003 that tINI started playing frequently in clubs and events in and around Munich. First DJ appearances throughout Europe and her first own nights and residencies followed soon. In 2008 tINI joined Desolat and the Artist Alife family, after she caught attention of Loco Dice during few performances at the same spots. No doubt this was an initial spark. Becoming a constant part of the worldwide Desolat nights by that time, her profile assumed shape, while more and more clubs became aware of the curly haired talent with that powerful, vivid temper, who intuitionally knows how to enchant her crowd whether during smart-building warm-up or igniting main-time sessions. "That's right", her production debut on the Desolat X Sampler in 2009, became a timeless groove monster with high profile DJs worldwide and a perfect proof that future is looking bright for this grand dame of deep twisted tech funk. Residencies for Ibiza's original Ushuaia, London's in-demand "Fuse" events and Cocorico in Italy plus being the official tour support for Marco Carola on his worldwide album presentation were just a few highlights of recent months. The most significant highlight of this unique career has been saved for autumn 2011, when her debut artist album gets released on her label homebase Desolat. As tINI's life is ruled by magic moments and deep acquaintanceships, her first longplayer has been named after her best friend "Tessa", who was the first person to introduce her to the colourful, sometimes dreamlike world of Ibiza, where tINI spent the summer of 2010 and produced a majority of her album. It's a musical documentation of an influencing stage of life, inspired by a chaotic but at the same time peaceful island and special people she met there and who can even be heard in many of the tracks. 2.
