Trina braxton
Her mother Evelyn Braxton, an opera singer. And her father Michael Braxton, a clergyman and a company worker. They grew up in a strict religious household. And they grew up singing in church. People who started singing from a young age tend to start singing in church. And singing in church is where people can really discover their love for Music.
Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina, and Tamar Braxton signed their first deal with Arista Records in 1989. And in 1990 they released their first song called “Good Life”. It would be their only song as a five-member group. It wasn’t like a hit song, but it peaked at number 79 on the Billboard chart.
The age differences at the time created difficulty when it comes to marketing. There was a big age gap. And when you look at many of these groups like TLC and En Vogue, they all were close in age. And at the time they were dropped from Arista Records. This was clearly difficult for them. When it comes to being dropped, many talented people get dropped especially when they don’t make their first best impression.
In 1991 during a showcase, while in the process of creating LaFace Records, Toni Braxton at that time was chosen to sign. And at the time, the sisters were told that they were not looking to sign a group.
Toni Braxton left the group in 1991. They became backup singers for Toni Braxton’s tours, music videos, and promotional appearances. Tracy, Towanda, Trina, and Tamar were featured in Toni Braxton’s music video “Seven Whole Days” from her album. The Braxtons then signed to LaFace, and it was in 1993. However, the group never released an album or even a song for the record label.
In a Vibe magazine, it was told that she left the group to pursue a career as a youth counselor. However, it was confirmed in a show that Traci actually was not allowed to sign in 1995 because she got pregnant.
In June 1996, Tamar, Trina, and Towanda released an album called “So Many Ways”. There was a remix of “So Many Ways” with Jay-Z, and it was at the Soul Train Awards. The song was used as a soundtrack for a movie called “High School High”. “Only Love” peaked at 52 on the R&B Billboard chart. The Braxtons also served as an opening act for Toni Braxton’s tour in 1997. The Braxtons then departed as a group when Tamar decided she wanted to pursue a solo career in 1998.
Trina appeared in a Tyler Perry movie called “Meet the Browns”. She was also part of another movie called “Rise”. She then appeared in “The Walk” and was a host for Urban Idol for UPN. Trina and Tamar performed as background singers and dancers for Toni Braxton’s tour in 2006. In 2009, she joined The Wedding Band as a lead vocalist. She made a cameo in “I Can Do Bad All by Myself”. In 2011, she and her sisters reunited for a reality show called “The Braxton Family Values”. This reality show gave an opportunity for the sisters to showcase more of themselves.
There were so many things happening in the 1990s, and it was all exposed on the show. In 2012, Trina Braxton started her solo career after signing with Soltri Entertainment.
Her debut song is called “Party or Go Home”. In 2013, she released a song called “Game Time” and was featured on “The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late)” on her sister’s Winter Lovers Land album. In 2014, she landed a TV movie called “Where’s the Love”. They also made a guest appearance on Traci’s music video called “Last Call”. All five sisters released a Christmas album in 2015.
Trina, Towanda, and Toni were featured on Traci’s song “Broken Things”. She also served as a co-host for Sister Circle. She appeared in a BET Christmas movie called “Hip Hop Holiday”. In 2021, she was featured in a movie called “Sisters and the Shrink 2”, which was available on Amazon. She has two sons, Eric and Caleb Mojica.
When you have Toni Braxton as a sister, it can be difficult when it comes to having your own lane. People would always want to associate you with the fact that you’re related to someone very famous. And because Toni had the attention first, bringing her sisters as a group was difficult.
We believe that when it comes to the sisters, if the group was taken seriously first, they would be seen as a group before Toni would even be seen as a solo artist. It was difficult for them to break out as a group. And Toni, of course, had that responsibility from her mother when she was told to take her sisters with her.
The Braxtons, when releasing their own projects like music or movies, have to make sure that they know what they are doing. The Braxton family name is popular because of Toni. However, the sisters have to carve their own path, and that can be difficult.
Being related to someone famous can be really good and can help out. However, you still need to do the work. She was born in 1974, and at the time they started in the music industry, there was a lot of competition. People were looking to be signed to get their big break in music, and it wasn’t easy. You need to have something special about you that will make you stand out. She herself has never released an album.
Trina could release something. She has been featured on albums with her sisters. It would be nice to hear her own music. We believe that it would be really good. There is a lot we could hear from her. We are not in the 90s, so what type of music would we hear? Because she grew up with 90s music, when it came to her sound, there are a lot of things she may have to do. When it comes to music, it’s good to do your own thing and not copy anyone.Because then it can make you stand out amogn everyone else.
