Titi (singer)
Titi, also known by her real name Ndeye Fatou Tine, is a singer from Senegal.[1] Her name of Titi comes from a nickname given to her as a child by her uncle.[1] She started her career as a dancer but was inspired by Youssou N'Dour and moved on to becoming a singer.[1] As a dancer she performed with Papa Ndiaye Thiou and also appeared in music videos of Senegalese stars such as El Hadji Faye and Pape Djiby Ba.
