Biography

Early life & Education

Music career

1997–2006: Music career beginnings

Danquah's recordings date back to 1997, he would make appearances in 2000[9] on pirate radio along with Dizzee Rascal and Wiley,[10] and would be part of grime supergroup and record production team Ruff Sqwad from 2001. His pseudonym Tinchy Stryder derives from Strider and from the nickname given to him "Tinchy": his height at 5 ft 6½ in (1.69 m).[6][11][12]

In 2002, the grime group Roll Deep was formed, and included Danquah and Dizzee Rascal. They were making music that was a derivative of Garage. For a while there was not even a name for it. The name "grime" was the one that stuck.[13] While performing with Roll Deep, he performed some songs including, "U Were Always" in 2002, which was released years later on Roll Deep's compilations album, Street Anthems in 2009. He also performed on Roll Deep's 2004 mixtape, Creeper Vol. 2.[13]

In 2003, Danquah featured as a cameo in the music video of Dizzee Rascal's third single from his debut album Boy in da Corner, "Jus' a Rascal", and would feature on the Ruff Sqwad albums Guns and Roses Volume. 1 in March 2005 and Guns and Roses Volume. 2 in October 2006.[14]

2006–2008: Star in the Hood

The debut album by Danquah, Star in the Hood, was released on August 13, 2007 on Takeover. The album spawned two main singles, "Breakaway", which was released on April 9, 2007 and "Something About Your Smile", was released on August 6, 2007. Bonus track "Mainstream Money" was also released as an underground single in November 2007.[12]

In 2008, Danquah released his debut extended play, Cloud 9 The EP, which was released on March 31, also on Takeover.[15] This was succeeded by him and grime producer Maniac collaborating on the album, Tinchy Stryder vs. Maniac, which was released on November 24, 2008.[16] Only one single was released from the album, "Rollin", which was released in October 2008.[17] This track was also included on his 2009 second solo studio album, Catch 22, as part of the, Deluxe 2-Disc Edition, and he would collaborate with American band Gang Gang Dance on their album Saint Dymphna that was released in October 2008.

2008–2010: Catch 22

Danquah began a partnership with English producer/songwriter Fraser T. Smith.[18] According to Smith in an interview with HitQuarters, "Kwasi had no shortage of beats and cool sounding production, but I think he wanted to try and break through into the mainstream, and I had some experience crossing underground over into mainstream having worked with artists like Craig David."[18]

The single "Stryderman", was released on July 20, 2008. It was the first single taken from Catch 22. The second single, "Take Me Back", was released on January 19, 2009.[19][20] His third single, a collaboration with the English hip-hop band N-Dubz entitled "Number 1," peaked at number 6 on the European Hot 100 Singles. His fourth single from Catch 22, "Never Leave You", was released on August 3, 2009 with the album following on August 17, 2009. "Never Leave You" peaked at number 5 on the European Hot 100 Singles on the week of its release. Catch 22 debuted at Number 11 on the European Top 100 Albums. The fifth and final single from Catch 22 is "You're Not Alone," which was released in November 2009 and samples the Olive song of the same name.[21]

In February 2010, Danquah headline toured for the third time, he invited the English singer Example and rapper JME as his supporting acts. The tour was Danquah's second sell-out tour after he toured in 2009 and helped in raising the profile of Example.[22] Danquah opened on the pyramid stage at the England Glastonbury Festival, on Saturday, June 27, 2010. He also performed at the O2 Arena in England, for the Transformation Trust's first birthday alongside The Saturdays.[23][24]

2010–2011: Third Strike

This was followed by him releasing the first official single from it, a year from the day he released his second studio album. He began working with Fraser T. Smith who had also worked on his second studio album. English singer and record producer Taio Cruz produced the largely, along with Fraser T. Smith. The album title was picked by the title of Street Fighter III 3rd Strike which was also a massive success. Third Strike features several artists, including English singer Amelle, with whom he collaborated on Catch 22 on the single "Never Leave You". The album features Taio Cruz who also featured on the Danquah's last album.
