Ms. "2 On" herself R&B singer Tinasha stopped by Power 105.1 this morning and interviewed with The Breakfast Club. I first saw the 21-year-old perform her breakout hit single "2 On" live at this years pre-show at the BET Awards, and that's when I really started feeling that song. And, of course, this song is all over the radio.
What I didn't know about Tinashe is her background, and I learned a lot listening to her interview this morning. Check out the seven things that stood out to me during her interview this morning:
#1 Tinashe is not new to the music industry. In fact, she has released three mix tapes. She also had a recurring role on Charlie Sheen's hit show "Two and Half Men," and she has had other acting gigs.
#2 She decoded the meaning of "2 On" and said it means when someone has been drinking and is basically a little buzzed, they're feeling a little too good... so they're '2 on.'
#3 Tinasha's father is from Zimbwawe and her mother has Swedish, Danish and Norwegian ancestry.
#4 Tinashe was apart of a girl group called the Stunners (this group was founded by New Jersey singer Vitamin C who you most remember for the song "Graduation (Friends Forever)."
After looking the group up, I see they performed on The Wendy Williams Show and they contributed a song to an iCarly soundtrack.
