TIHANEis a Polynesian Croatian artist who blends her Pacific Islander and Eastern European influences in a mixture of exotic melodies and vintage soul. Her multi-cultural collaborations with producers, particularly from East and West Africa, create an enchanting experience of live instrumentation, percussive dance and electronic fusion. 

 

Since her early years recording with Grammy Award winning writers/producers, TIHANE chose a less traveled path as an independent artist, collaborating with musical pioneers to find a distinguished voice all her own. She has performed at historic venues like L’Olympia (Paris), Bush Hall (UK), Toad’s Place (USA), Soho House (NYC) and groundbreaking festivals like SXSW  (USA), Homecoming (South Africa), Nyege Nyege (Uganda) & African Nouveau (Kenya). She most recently performed for BBC Introducing with UK artist, Wandering Lex & featured solo sets for UK's Stamp The Wax and TEDx.

 

In 2021, TIHANE sold her first NFT - a mixed media piece dedicated to her grandmother and her Polynesian oceanic ancestors, who inspire her courage to continue navigating the voyage of life as a nomadic artist. Since then, TIHANE has co-hosted monthly events in the metaverse with a Web3 collective she co-founded called, New World Nomads, amplifying multi-cultural voices in the new world of Web3. After winning an open mic competition, TIHANE became an official GALA Music artist and recently sold out her first NFT drop, with collector values tripling on the secondary market.

 

TIHANE was born in California, raised in Hawaii, called Kenya home for 10 years and currently spends most of her time between L.A. and Ghana. Her latest single "Squeeze" is now streaming on all platforms, accompanied by a short film style music video co-directed by TIHANE.
