Career
Starting Young
She and her sisters began performing at an early age with four of her sisters. The group sang pop, R&B and gospel music.
As the Braxtons, they were offered a record deal, but they never achieved major commercial success.
Their first and only album, So Many Ways, came out in 1996. It did not produce any hit singles. Around that time, their older sister Toni Braxton was offered a recording contract as a solo singer.
The record executive who signed the deal said he was not looking for a “girl group” at the time, because he had just signed TLC.

Sister’s Success
Toni Braxton went on to a phenomenally successful solo career and is regarded as one of the iconic R&B singers of the 1990s.
Toni Braxton released a number of chart-topping hits and toured nationally and internationally.
The other sisters worked as Toni Braxton’s backup singers during her live shows and music videos. They were also chief sources of support during her divorce and her diagnosis with lupus.
The Braxtons also served as the opening act for Toni Braxton’s European tour in 1997. The group split up when sister Tamar, who was the lead singer, left to pursue a solo career in 1998.
Trina had always had an interest in acting, and in 2004 she was cast in the Tyler Perry play Meet the Browns. She played Deena Jones in an off-Broadway production of Dreamgirls.
