Martina Stoessel (Spanish: [maɾtˈina stˌoessˈel]; born 21 March 1997),[1] known professionally as Tini, is an Argentine singer, actress, dancer, and model. She began her career as a child actress, by appearing on the Argentine children's television series Patito Feo (2007). Stoessel rose to prominence and emerged as a teen idol for her leading role in the Disney Channel Latin America telenovela Violetta (2012–2015), and reprised the character in the series' sequel film Tini: The Movie (2016). While on the program, she achieved success on the Latin American and European charts with multiple soundtracks.
In 2015, Stoessel became the first Argentine act to sign with Hollywood Records. She adopted the stage name Tini and released her bilingual pop self-titled debut studio album (2016). The album debuted at number one in Argentina and reached the top ten in various European countries. After signing with Universal Music Latino, she explored Latin pop and reggae on Quiero Volver (2018), her second chart-topping album in Argentina. Tini recalibrated her image to reggaeton with the Latin trap-infused Tini Tini Tini (2020), which became the best-selling album by a woman in Argentina and the only female album to be certified double diamond by the CAPIF. Shifting to Sony Music Latin and 5020 Records in 2021, she embraced urbano and cumbia styles on Cupido (2023), which featured her first three Billboard Argentina Hot 100 number-ones: "Miénteme", "Bar", and "La Triple T". Certified diamond in Argentina, the album was the first by an Argentine act this decade to reach the top ten on the Billboard US Latin Pop Albums chart and made Tini the first Argentine woman to chart on the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. US. Tini achieved her fourth number-one with the collaboration "La Original" with Emilia. Personal struggles influenced the alternative Un Mechón de Pelo (2024), which yielded her fifth number-one "Pa".
Outside of music, Tini has had voice roles in dubbed versions of the animated films Monsters University (2013) and UglyDolls (2019). On television, she served as a judge and advisor on the Argentine (2018) and Spanish (2020) versions of The Voice.
Tini's accolades include three Gardel Awards, seven Quiero Awards, one Lo Nuestro Award, three Bravo Otto Awards, two Martín Fierro Awards, one Los 40 Music Award, three MTV Millennial Awards, and two MTV Europe Music Awards; she has received nominations for the Heat Latin Music Awards, Latin American Music Awards, Billboard Latin Music Awards, among others. In 2016, Tini was named among The Hollywood Reporter's 25 Most Powerful Women in Global Television. From 2017 to 2020, she was named Billboard Argentina's "Artist of The Year" and was the most-streamed Argentine woman on Spotify for each year, consecutively. As of 2024, she is one of the most-streamed Argentine artists of all time and the second-most-streamed Argentine female act. She was the first artist to sell out nine consecutive concerts at the Estadio Luna Park and six consecutive concerts at the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo. In 2021, Tini was included in ¡Hola!'s list of Top 100 Latina Powerhouse women; from 2019 to 2022, she was named as one of the ten most influential women from Argentina.
