Trina & Tamara are an American R&B duo from Gary, Indiana, [1] who were active in the late 1990s. The group was composed of sisters Trina Powell (born April 18, 1974) [2] [3] and Tamara Powell. They are the younger sisters of fellow contemporary R&B singer Jesse Powell. [1] In 1997, the duo appeared on the song " My Love Is the Shhh!" by Somethin' for the People, which peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. [4] Their next single, "What'd You Come Here For?" was released in 1999. It peaked at number 14 on the Billboard R&B chart, [5] and number 56 on the Hot 100. [6] Their album, the eponymous Trina & Tamara, was released shortly after [7] and peaked at number 99 on the Billboard R&B albums chart. [8]

In 2016, the sisters announced they were working on an autobiographical book titled The Sisterfriend Journey, which is based on their relationship (and many years of fallout) as sisters, songwriters, and women. [9] It was released on March 15, 2017. [10] [11] [12] [13]
