About Me - King Tatie

 Design By: Digital Fashion Group King Tatie - born as Tatiana Chipondaminga in London,
England - is a fifteen-year-old British rapper, singer, songwriter,
and model; she is also currently teaching herself to play the
guitar and piano. At an early age, she displayed a huge passion
to perform and entertain around the house, at school talent
shows, and around any audiences who were willing to listen. Her
parents, upon seeing King Tatie's passion, started enrolling her
in vocal, modeling, dancing, and acting training; simultaneously
with her training, King Tatie would perform in showcases,
pageants, and competitions to help build her stage presence and
to help with being comfortable performing in a crowd.
In July 2010, King Tatie flew to Los Angeles to compete in The
World Championships of Performing Arts; this competition is a
worldwide, international competition, with 196 countries and
over four hundred competitors competing to win. At the time,
King Tatie was the first and only competitor from the United
Kingdom to compete in the World Championships, and she
came out with five medals: one gold, two silver, and two bronze.
Entering the competition really made me realize that performing
is something I
wanted to do for the rest of my life, and that no one could stop
me from achieving my dream."
Life wasn’t always easy for King Tatie. Before moving to Los
Angeles in January 2012, she admits to facing many struggles
whilst in the early stages of pursuing her entertainment career.
King Tatie was being constantly bullied by her classmates and
even teachers at school, due to having to leave school early
(sometimes for several days) majority of the time for ongoing
competitions and training which was out of the country. King
Tatie started pursuing her dream at the tender age of nine
years old, which meant that most of the time she flew out of
England to other countries for auditions, casting calls, and
competitions.
Upon moving to Los Angeles in 2012, King Tatie
starred in the documentary, The Audition, about child actors
in Hollywood, (which has been shown worldwide in America,
Europe, Australia, and Africa) and also starred in the feature
film, Dance-Off, with Shane Harper (Good Luck Charlie,
Happyland) and Chelsea Tavares (Zoey 101, Just Jordan).
While in Zimbabwe for a promotional tour, King Tatie
performed and presented at the Zim Hip Hop Awards 2012,
did radio interviews with Zimbabwe’s three top radio stations
- PowerFM, ZiFM, and StarFM - and TV interviews with
their number one TV station, ZBC TV, as well as a radio
commercial for Nugget Shoe Polish. King Tatie has also
opened up for Soulja Boy in Denver, Colorado, Ice Prince in
Africa, and has embarked on a world tour in America, Africa,
Dubai and England. King Tatie has appeared as a front page,
feature and cover spread for newspapers in Zimbabwe, South
Africa, and England. After spending three years in California recording songs,
performing at events, talent shows, and showcases, and
filming television shows and films, King Tatie caught her
break in the music industry in 2014 after submitting audio
files of herself to Andre Williams, VP of RAYDAR
Management via Blazetrak . Her submission indeed caught
Williams’ eye, who asked King Tatie to come down to
Atlanta for a trial period of two weeks, where she would be
assessed in the studio while writing and recording original
songs, before making the decision to manage her. The
young star in person blew Andre Williams away. King
Tatie now resides in Atlanta, GA and is currently working
on her first EP/LP
