about Tinsley

Tinsley is a Seattle- based singer and songwriter. Her music is a heartfelt, yet playful blend of indie pop and rock, with the occasional twang of country.

Tinsley’s songs have garnered radio play on Seattle radio stations 90.3 KEXP, 107.7 The End, and C89.5, as well as support from American Songwriter, Atwood Magazine, and Ones to Watch. Her 2023 EP “Love Songs” was Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-recognized DJ Marco Collins’ number one pick of The Seattle Times’ Washington music critics poll.

Tinsley has opened for artists like Sam Fischer, Salt Cathedral, Girl Ray, and New Constellations, and played festivals like Capitol Hill Block Party, The Bite of Seattle, and Belltown Bloom.

She got her start by sharing her original songs on YouTube and Instagram, performing in church bands, and playing acoustic shows around Seattle. She quickly became a sought-after vocalist and songwriting partner to some of Seattle's most prominent electronic dance producers. Now, she is pursuing a more organic sound inspired by her favorite artists, including Feist, The Cranberries, and Sharon Van Etten.

Her debut self-titled album is out everywhere now.

The debut album from Seattle’s Tinsley is an earnest, endearing collection of infectious indie-pop and indie-rock, with occasional alt-country undertones. Her sugary vocals bring bittersweet lyrics of yearning and heartache to life, complemented by bright guitars, irresistible hooks and plenty of allure.
