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 http://www.instagram.com/kingtatie http://www.twitter.com/KingTatie http://www.facebook.com/KingTatieFanPage
