Source-derived summary

Martina Stoessel (Spanish: [maɾˈtina estoˈesel]; born 21 March 1997), known professionally as Tini, is an Argentine singer and actress. She began her career as a child actress, by appearing on the Argentine children's television series Patito Feo (2007). Tini rose to fame for her title role in the Disney Channel Latin America telenovela Violetta (2012–2015), which became an international success and established her as a teen idol. She achieved success on Latin American and European charts with multiple soundtracks, and reprised the character in the series' sequel film Tini: The Movie (2016).

In 2015, Tini became the first Argentine act to sign with Hollywood Records. She adopted her stage name 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 re-calibrated her image from pop to reggaeton with the Latin trap-infused Tini Tini Tini (2020), which became the best-selling album by a woman in Argentina and the highest-certified female album, at double diamond, by the CAPIF. Shifting to Sony Music Latin and 5020 Records in 2021, she blended 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 by the CAPIF, and double platinum (Latin) by the RIAA, the album was the first by an Argentine act in the 2020s decade to reach the top ten on the Billboard US Latin Pop Albums and top 50 on the US Top Latin Albums charts.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Tini (singer)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Tini, singer and Argentine provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2699591. VIAF identifies the subject as 304797010. The Library of Congress control number is no2015021704. 5 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1997, 2007, 2012 and 2015.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
