Tina Weymouth: The Bassist Who Shaped Talking Heads & More

Ever wondered who laid down those irresistible, funky basslines that defined the sound of Talking Heads? It's Tina Weymouth, the band's unsung heroine and a musical force who shaped an era.

Born Martina Michle Tina Weymouth on November 22, 1950, in Coronado, California, to a French mother and an American father, her upbringing was steeped in multiculturalism, nurturing a unique musical sensibility. Before the Talking Heads became synonymous with the vibrant New York City music scene of the late 70s and early 80s, Weymouth was a student at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). It was here that fate intervened, bringing her together with Chris Frantz and David Byrne. This meeting would be the genesis of The Artistics, the band that would eventually morph into the iconic Talking Heads.
